Wonderful but frustrating af.The Tower of the Swallow (UK) or The Tower of Swallows (U.S.) (Polish: Wieża Jaskółki), was written by Andrzej Sapkowski and was first published in Poland in 1997 and is the sixth book in The Witcher series and the fourth novel in the saga. I know of no author that is this good at writing speach, something I personally struggle with. All this said its masterfully written and read. When a frustrated sword could have cut shit short and gotten to the point damn fucking fast. Hinting and using vailed threats for hours. Yet instead we got walking and talking for hours. Every single one of em could have left a road of blood behind em. Fuck everyone for never lashing out at the frustrating fucking mess. Fuck Geralt for his vain attempt at finding an enemy. Overall the entire book just made me fucking pissed! Fuck Ciri for waiting for rescue when she could leave at any time for home. Boy did she act like she had power before yet now she is nothing. Well if anything at least she is able to swing her fking sword without falling on it. She is so unable to make decisions for herself it makes me mad everytime I read about her. Instead of returning home to Cintra or Caer Moren she decide to murder and pillage. Almost raped by a man and then raped by a woman she then deludes herself to fall in love with said woman. Damnit he never asked for her, in the villages or towns or the people he met. For the only monster this witcher fights are men. Even when they travel through monster riddled territory where his skills could have been shown we get nothing. Seeking lonesome punishment yet being denyed even that. Riddled with doubt, remorse and lashing out in vain anger only to fail at everything and remain unable to act. You hear about the stories abd think the man is a great man. The entire writen stpry about Geralt of Rivia reminds me, thus far, of the real life of a war hero. Yet I now see how this was ment to lower him down to a simple man. I had hoped of seeing the skills of a witcher in him as he travels in his search. I had my hopes of Geralt rising to greatness. Now he enters a new room, a new table ans another person wanting him harm. Then fate intervines and he escapes, weaker then he was. The tables are turned and Geralt is wounded, outnumbered, disarmed or trapped. Geralt speak with veiled threats, beliving himself in a superior positon. On the other sit someone who wants to hurt him. A table, on one side sits Geralt, snearing in contempt.
