So much anticipated by many fans of the series, the next novel by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Season of Thunderstorms, published in 2013, about the adventures of the witcher Geralt, tells not about the future of the hero left by the author in a parallel world, but about his youth.
Several amazing stories, full of exciting adventures, tell about the wanderings of the young warrior witcher Geralt, who performs various, sometimes strange, and sometimes immoral orders of different people. The main work of Geralt is considered to be the fight against various evil spirits that inhabit the universe created by the Polish writer. However, Geralt, no matter how hard he tries to stay away from big political games, often finds himself in the thick of palace intrigues: after all, the world in which he lives is surprisingly similar to the world of the European Middle Ages.
Numerous redistribution of lands and possessions, greed, cruel intolerance towards creatures that are unlike ordinary people and much more - these are the scenery for Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy novel "Season of Thunderstorms". However, do not be afraid - these stories are not without kindness, humor and fascination.
Sapkowski represents most of the humor in several lines, which eventually unite into a single canvas, in the person of the bard Dandelion - a sloven, a merry fellow and a lover of tricks. The minstrel loves women, music and wine - and this constantly brings him and his fellow witcher various troubles. However, it is Dandelion who is the most sincere and persistent friend of Geralt of Rivia, the central character of the plot.
This fair-haired, good-looking man of indeterminate age, according to friends is this: "I know that you are about forty, you look thirty, you think that you are not much more than twenty, but you act like you are supposedly only ten." But despite this, Buttercup is one of the most striking figures in the saga.
Geralt of Rivia is an equally interesting personality. Given by his mother in early youth to the witcher's workshop, he suffered many mystical mutations. Due to this, he has various supernatural abilities and white hair, but is extremely addicted to various strange potions. And although he is stern and serious, like an experienced warrior, neither love nor kindness is alien to him.
The novel by Andrzej Sapkowski "Season of Thunderstorms", which expands the fascinating universe of The Witcher, leaves no one indifferent. The world created by Sapkowski has enjoyed the sincere love of readers for many years, and his popularity has gone far beyond books: a series based on the saga has been shot, several comics have been drawn, a rock opera has been staged, and the most popular computer games have been created.

Quotes from the book "Season of Thunderstorms" by Andrzej Sapkowski
The witcher sighed. More than once or twice he happened to see the results of the operation of safe teleports, he also participated in the analysis of the remains of people who used the teleport. That's why I knew that statements about the safety of teleportation portals can be put in the same box as such statements as: “my dog does not bite”, “my son is a good boy”, “this bigos is fresh”, “I will give the money later the day after tomorrow”, “I spent the night with a friend”, “I act exclusively for the good of the motherland”, “you will answer just a few questions and you will be free”.
Like: “my dog does not bite”, “my son is a good boy”, “this bigos is fresh”, “I will give the money back the day after tomorrow at the latest”, “I spent the night with a friend”, “I act exclusively for the good of the motherland”, “you will answer everything Just a few questions and you'll be free."
Whoever fights monsters must be careful not to become a monster himself. If you look into the abyss for a long time, the abyss also looks into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche.
