First off, I want to clarify something from my last review of this author, The Last Wish. When I read that book, I was under the impression it was tied to the show based on the stories and the cover. Also the way it was listed on Amazon confused me as well. The Last Wish is listed as 'The Witcher Saga Book 1' and Blood of Elves is listed as 'The Witcher Book 3/The Witcher Saga Novels Book 1.' After a bit of research, I discovered that the first two books, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny are collections of short stories, and the novels begin with Blood of Elves. It's my mistake, and my apologies for the misunderstanding.
In this first full novel of the series, Geralt starts out trying to get some help with Ciri. She is showing some signs of powers that no one at Kaer Morhen can understand, so he asks Triss Merigold for help. She's out of her league with Ciri, and so it's clear that the girl is going to have to seek help from Geralt's "dear friend" Yennefer. There are numerous people who are after Ciri, and one man in particular seems to be the most dangerous.
I really enjoyed this book. I found a couple times where I had to go back and read over a section again because I didn't pay enough attention the first time. My main concern for the future of reading this series is that I'll forget what was going on when I pick up the next one. Overall, I really did like it and hope to read more of the series soon. Good Book!
