About this listen
A brand new trilogy from the author of the legendary Witcher series, set during the vibrantly depicted Hussite wars.
Reinmar of Bielau, called Reynevan, flees after being caught in an affair with a knight's wife.
With strange, mystical forces gathering in the shadows and pursued not only by the Stercza brothers bent on vengeance, but also by the Holy Inquisition, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools, a medieval asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order.
The 'patients' of this institution form an incomparable gallery of colourful types: including, among others, the young Copernicus, proclaiming the truth of the heliocentric solar system.
This is the first in an epic new series from the phenomenon, Andrzej Sapkowski, author of the Witcher books.
©2020 Andrzej Sapkowski (P)2020 Orion Publishing GroupCritic Reviews
"Like Mieville and Gaiman, Sapkowski takes the old and makes it new." (Foundation)
"Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse and dry humour. Recommended." (Time)

Requires a bit of historical knowledge
Great book overall. As it's based around quite a significant historical time/place there is alot of info all at once. It may require you to watch a few videos on Hussites, Jan Huss and the Kingdom of Bohemia to get full enjoyment. For those reading after the witcher series, it shares similarities in the way that the main characters are basically their own Hanza. It's like a book based about slightly magical Jasiker/ Dandelion as the main character but instead of having the protection of a witcher, he has a few strong lads to help him out.

Not the Witcher
to be honest I thought it was a continuation of The Witcher Series but was a tad drawn out but none the less I enjoyed it very much looking forward to next book now

good story, easy to follow. I thought the narrator was great, an easy voice to listen to and made the story even more enjoyable for me.
