The New York Times bestselling series that inspired the international hit video game: The Witcher. For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf.

Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil.

As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is hunted for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all - and the Witcher never accepts defeat.

The Witcher returns in this sequel to The Last Wish, as the inhabitants of his world become embroiled in a state of total war.

Review of 'La sangre de los elfos (La saga de Geralt de Rivia, #3)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Libro intermedio, que profundiza más en la geopolítica e historia de los reinos. Este ya no presenta pequeños relatos, estamos hablando en este caso de una novela completa.
Tiene como tema de fondo, como el título indica, a los elfos, la relación entre especies humanas y no-humanas.

Quizá con una trama más lenta que anteriores libros de la saga, aunque aún así engancha bastante.
Presenta ciertos dilemas interesantes sobre la pertenencia a un grupo, la identidad etc.

Lo que más me ha gustado son los pequeños fragmentos al principio de los capítulos, sacados de algún documento de ese mundo, que describen a los distintos seres que lo pueblan.
