Blood of Eleves - Andrzej Sapkowski Dark Fantasy Novel on Bonesaw commodities!

As I promised another Witcher Book! Now Blood of Elves.

Blood of Elves tells the story of Geralt find the royal daughter, Ciri, and takes her to Kaer Morhen the old fortress and training center of the witchers. Blood of Elves is a continuation of The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny (first tome of Witcher saga) in it the lives and perrils of many characters are interwined and even the least important looking character can have a great impact on the story wilst at the same time those more important can fall into manipulation of the evil doers. So what is the book really about? Well, the main topos is destiny, its ineviteblenss and ways it works in the world sometimes miraculously, and that a course of events may lead to unpredictable and ironic outcomes. It is really a worth reading book, even a must see/read. If you are bored with the same old patterns in Western Fantasy, this Dark Fantasy novel may be of interest for you and insite into Central/Eastern European fantasy lore and thinking. Also don't try to take it as another fantasy book from the shelf, cause to understand it is to observe it, take it as it is and get what you can out of it. There is more than just one message in the book and you can get to it by reading it more than once, since not everything can be transmited at the first read-thru. I hope you'll enjoy the book, I sure did, its a great read!
