Review of 'The Time of Contempt' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

In the aftermath of the Witcher Season 2, I decided to finish The Time of Contempt once and for all..

The Time of Contempt is the sequel to Blood of Elves. The geopolitical tensions in the continent have reached a peak, and the Nilfgardiaan threat has increased even more.

This book contains a brilliant geopolitical plot, a la A Song of Ice And fire. Combined with the deeper lore about the elves, the conjunctions, and the universe itself, it is a great fantasy novel. Not too thick, like ASOIAF, yet enough plot to talk about for hours.
