I am a little on the fence so far. The stories all read a little flat too me. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I am not emotionally invested in any of the stories and there are times that it feels like very paint by numbers fantasy. Just as I am wondering if it time to give it up, I mean seriously I was way more invested in the story from Witcher 3, he does something cool or interesting. I have a feeling I am going to finish this book completely unsure if I am going to read another one.

I am on a little bit of a bad streak with books that turn on me. I really enjoyed the first half of this story. I liked the character. The conspiracy didn’t seem to outrageous (That’s a lie it was outrageous but I still jumped on for the ride). Then the book turned on a dime for me. The last half of the book became a giant mess. Full of torture porn, questionable plot decisions, and some politics that grated on all of my nerves. The back half was bad enough that I know I am done with the is series. He is a popular writer and he might be your cup of tea but ultimately he wasn’t mine.

I finished it but it was a struggle. I bought the book blind and it was just on the edge of a DNF the whole time I read it. I suspect if I had read this book at a different time I would have liked it more but I could never really get into the horror aspect and because it was a little bit of a slow burn I constantly found myself wanting to read something else. I think there is good writing here but I caught it at the wrong time for me.
