Review of 'The Tower of the Swallow' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The Tower of the Swallow is the sequel to Baptism of Fire, and gives a new way of narration and telling stories.
Ciri being hunted by allies and enemies, seeks refuge in a swamp, with Vysogota. Then, the story begins, with Ciri, Vysogota, Dandelion's Fifty Years of Poetry, and a witness in a lawsuit, recounting the events between Baptism of Fire, and the Tower of the Swallow.
With quick-witted dialogue, ingenious ways to finance the Redanian army, and the conclusion being 'that the most effective defence against intellectual domination is roundly to affront the domineering intellectual', I thoroughly enjoyed this book, though a bit more chapters of Geralt's companions would've been appreciated.
5/5
