"Dnf this book 50% of the way through. Love Geralt and Ciri didn't care for much else. The plot was choppy never knew where I was or who was talking. 90% of things going on didn't seem to really matter to the story. I really wanted to see where these two were headed but don't want to drag my dead legs through the mud to get there."

"Love triss in the book, Yennefer is great too. A little confusing at times but having played the game and having an idea of the timeline helped. The writing was sometimes a bit odd in my opinion but I enjoyed it and will be reading the other books"
Rachel Harroche
"Blood of Elves is a fantastic tale that kickstarts the beginning of the main storyline for the Witcher series! While its pacing comes and goes in waves throughout each of the book’s hefty seven chapters, Sapkowski easily rectifies this through fantastic world building, intriguing lore and great character interaction that enhances the experience of this dark fantasy world! 8.75/10"

"7/30/22: Not my typical genre but loving this fantasy series. Read along with season 3 of the show. Book is definitely better! "

"This had its ups and downs but I enjoyed the dynamics between characters. That being said, Triss is the most annoying character I have ever read."

"The writing can be hard to focus on for ADHD, But I love Gerald and ciri and Yennifer, amazing characters!"
Slabo
"It’s very different writing wise then last wish and sword of destiny, the pacing picks up but not in a bad way, making it a quicker read but also way more in grossing, not so fast where you don’t know what’s going on, but not so slow it drags. "
John Rourk
"Not normally one to read books in this genre but I was hooked on the Netflix show and needed to read the books. I really liked Blood of Elves, it was easy to follow and I enjoyed the story line. "
Theresa Evans
"The first of the full-length Witcher novels. There are quite a few conversations and character development as well as situations set up for future stories, so don't go in expecting non-stop action in this one, but it is still a fantastic story to be sure."

"Its hard for me to remember but i think my favorite part was when triss(?) And geralt meet up with the dwarven caravan. "
