It's worth reading the prequels as it will give you better context. ( ) Kaas on hoopis selline: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wYCWskcy9xg/T32mR3HndDI/AAAAAAAAHwg/JyL8nFRXGKw/s1600/...

Whereas previously all the short stories followed Geralt of Rivia working on certain monster assassination assignments, within Blood of Elves he is one of 3 or 4 main characters that we share the minds of. So Don't come to Blood of Elves expecting it to be the Geralt show. It's not. Really Blood of Elves focuses on Ciri, the child of Destiny. Ciri is essentially the main character with Geralt being more of a shadowy father figure who aids her development as an upcoming Witcher although she also has magical capabilities she does not understand. He is the infamous Witcher, Yennefer is an enchantress and there is the "will they-won't they" love interest, and although she's not the biological child of the aforementioned she arguably seems like a perfect mix of the other two main characters. Blood of Elves basically tells the tale of Ciri's early training under a group of Witchers, learning the Witcher way, and then upon discovering her natural talent for magic she is sent to be trained by Yennefer. Yennefer becoming Ciri's mentor & teacher is perhaps my favorite part of the book. I really enjoy the magic training trope in fantasy. As the first of a five-book series, Blood of Elves would benefit from a map and character index as Sapkowski’s sudden (and often fleeting) reference to various countries, territories and characters can become confusing at times. The plot also takes an unexpected leap forward in time around the halfway point and it could be bothersome for some readers. It's an easy read but it isn't heavy on action. There is much dialogue (some of it disjointed) and the chapters are really long. At the same time, Sapkowski's writing is just so easy to appreciate. There is something to be said for a simple & direct writing style like his.
A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don’t miss it! Pertence a SérieSaga the Witcher (3)
Into a tumultuous time is born a child for whom the witches of the world have been waiting. Ciri, the granddaughter of Queen Calanthe, the Lioness of Cintra, has strange powers and a strange destiny, for prophecy names her the Flame, one with the power to change the world: for good, or for evil.
