Talkie Tuesday: Blood Origin

 

"True sacrifice comes from within."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Well if I'd timed this one I might have even posted it almost exactly to the day when the series was released, and wouldn't that be timing on my part?

 

But as it happened, I wanted to talk about it tonight.

 

And boy, do I have things to say to people.

 

Particularly because it feels like things that aren't as bad as everyone make them seem are getting review-bombed all over the place.

 

Not to mention all this woke going around ... I'm sorry, who gave anyone else the right to tell other people what they should or shouldn't like?

 

This world is going crazy, I'm telling you, if it isn't already halfway or more than halfway there.

 

Anyway, before I go completely on a tangent, I suppose I should actually start talking about the topic of tonight's blog post.

 

The Witcher: Blood Origin was a Christmas gift, and to me it keeps on giving.

 

Tome Thursday: Sword of Destiny

Hello everyone!

Returning to a very specific fantasy world based off Slavic folklore, just like I promised two weeks ago (and then got side-tracked, as you do), I am here with another one of Sapkowski's books.

I should also admit that, at this point, the two I've reviewed are the only ones I've read.

Oops?

I'm planning on reading at least the third short story collection, Season of Storms, pretty quickly, but I have a couple of other books I promised to review before I can properly sit down to Blood of Elves.

Yes, yes, I know, our Witcher is an impatient kind of person and he would very much like it everything was reviewed ASAP.

And I'm working on it, I promise.

But when you've got so many other books on your to-read list ... you have to somehow juggle the lot.

I suppose I've become master of the art. For tonight, however, we're back, and Sword of Destiny is our next pit-stop!

Tome Thursday: The Last Wish

Hello everyone!

I'm currently on a Witcher binge, as you may be able to tell, so naturally the book for tonight is going to be covering the world Sapkowski dreamed up, too.

I should at some point actually sit down and start reading Blood of the Elves, but the thing is, I tend to need a bit of a break between my reads when I'm doing a series, and this one is no different. Especially since there are characters within it that I just can't stand.

On the surface of it, however, the books that launched Geralt of Rivia out into the wide world certainly have a way of drawing the audience in; it's later on when you dig deeper that you may find certain personalities you might wish to generally avoid.

Of course it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be agreeing with me - heck, I already know a lot of people who don't!

Without further ado, then, let's stop chatterboxing about things that aren't important.

The Last Wish wants to be introduced.
