What to say about this one... I'll need some time to digest it before I'm able to write a review.

I know most people classify it as fantasy, however I kind of look more at it like science fantasy. Caten is a really interesting world inspired by the Roman Republic. The world building is detailed but not overly so, and there are still many mysteries to be solved in the future books. The ending really spices things up in regards to world building. Vis Telimus the protagonist and the characters he interact with during the books are all well described and interesting, and they have great character developments during the story. I really look forward to see where this story is going and I'd recomend this book to any fantasy or science fiction lover.

I'm really looking forward to see where this story progresses and how it's world keeps expanding

I really like this story, just following one character Geralt instead of 3 as in the later books, makes everything flow better for me. The world is still brilliant and having this shorter more contained story is really nice. The story takes place in between the final short story and the main novel, however it's no pre-requisit having read any of the other Withcer books. Most people that enjoy fantasy will enjoy this book.

This is my least favorite book of the three books in the trilogy, that's not to say that the book is bad though. Keep in mind that there are some years since I read book two in the series. The story flows well, but in some way's feel a bit rushed, I'd love to have some more time spend developing the plot, characters and the world. We get to explore new areas but we just seem to scratch the surface of them. The characters are interesting to follow and they have some good development through the story although it suffers a little bit for power-creep which unfortunately lessens the impact of the bad guys in the book. Definitely worth reading if you've enjoyed the other books in the series.

While the books isn't getting any points for originality was the end of the story at least reasonable interesting.

The little I've read so far is really promising.

We return to the same world as in the Covenant of Steel books. Whilst that's my least favorite series of Anthony Ryan is this a lot better series. What I disliked about the Traitor and the other covenant of steel books was their perspective and how they where written. I have no such problems in this book, and it makes this a lot more enjoyable to read in my mind. It builds on the fantastic world from the other books and expands it and it have a lot of interesting new characters.
