This was good but DANG was there a lot of Yennifer in this book... perhaps too much for my taste. I tend to enjoy the storylines that take place outside of the overarching ones. Further: these “side quests” of adventure tend to hold characters of more quirky, and ecclectic personalities, as opposed to the usual. (Also side note: I guess in this universe sorceresses have the ultimate power and are the most untouchable beings? I don't hate it because feminism but I do find it magically underexplained at times) Many female characters emerge as prominent people in Gerault's life during this novel. Many overarching storylines get followed up on, less side quests (less Dandelion, saaaaad). Overall 3/5 purely just because I don't like Yennifer. 4/5 book series, 3/5 this book in the 4/5 series.
