Questions to those who have read the witcher books.
Hello everyone,
I, as well as many others I'm sure, just completely fell in love with the witcher universe by just playing the 2nd and 3rd installation of the game. So it was a no-brainer for me to sit down and read the books.
I've read and absolutely loved the first 6 books now and I'm in what I'd call a post-beggining of "the Lady of the Lake" now. The thing is I feel like this is the only book I don't really enjoy. It is told from the standpoint of two sorceres that as I understand live long past the events of the previous books and try to uncover the mystery behind the legend of Cirilla, Geralt and Yennifer.
The problem is I don't care for those two girls, I just want to know what happened to the real main characters of the saga. Moreover, experiencing the story through the eyes of Nimue and the other girl the name of who I can't really remember now gives me this feeling that the story the book tells isn't really to be trusted. I'm still going to finish the book, because I want to know how it all turned out.
Anyway, all of the above brings me to the 2 questions I wanted to ask:
1) Is the standalone story told in the 8th book "Season of Storms" more like the Lady of the Lake or the previous 6 books, because if it's similar to the former I don't think I can read it through.
2) Are the "Season of Storms, "Something ends, something begins" and "the Polish books of Monsters" that critical to better understand the stories told in the game series.
Thank you ahead of time.
