Back to fantasy , my original favorite genre! ❤
I really loved the Witcher games, spent something like 300+ hours with Witcher 3 only and just couldn’t get enough of it. And now Netflix has an awesome first season for the Witcher and it really met all my expectations! I’ve also been a fan of Henry Cavill since his role in the Tudors so it’s really nice to see him have the role of Geralt. He and Anya Chalotra were so, so great as Geralt and Yennefer that I almost couldn’t believe it. I highly recommend watching the series on Netflix and of course playing the Withcer games.
So anyway, whenever I get excited about fiction, I want to have it all. So of course the next thing to do was to read more of the Witcher books that the games and the tv series are based on. I had read the short story collection The Last Wish like nine years ago, after I had played the first Witcher game, but somehow I didn’t read the rest of the available books back then. So now I read the next one: The Blood of Elves.
Until you understand what a sword is, and what purpose it serves in a witcher’s hand, you will not pick one up. You are not learning in order to kill and be killed. You are not learning to kill out of fear and hatred, but in order to save lives. Your own and those of others.

I really enjoyed reading Blood of Elves and look forward to reading more of these books.
