I so loved this book; I was heartbroken to finish it. A glorious evocation of fifteenth century Europe, like the Canterbury Tales or the Pilgrim's Progress, or perhaps Hesse's Journey to the East; the characters are full of life, and I didn't want to leave them!
In the midst of tragedy and war, there's humour too, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for Reynevan, Scharley and Samson in the next volume!

There’s such thing as too much information
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2020
Tower of Fools by Andrzej Sapkowski is the first in a new series from the awesome author of The Witcher!TOF is a marvel in its own right; there’s a heavy, heeeeeavy medieval genius to this - but unfortunately this was a weight I could not carry.I was super excited to read this new series by the author of one of my most favourite franchises, but Tower of Fools, to put it simply, is not The Witcher. It wasn’t just the author that drew me into this one, it was also the words ‘mental asylum’ I mean who isn’t drawn in by that? However, I never made it far enough to get to the asylum.From the get go I was totally lost and the main character, Reinmar of Bielawa, was someone I really didn’t care enough about to find my way.I will say, like most of Sapkowski’s writing, the environments are so vivid and real, there’s definitely a thick, grounded foundation in the writing that keeps the buildings straight up - but that’s not always enough when the story is....squiggly.Perhaps it’s just me but there was too many names, roles, families, histories all to take in on the FIRST PAGE, it threw me off and so kept me unattached to the point where I perceived what I read as too much or not enough and so I couldn’t commit!Genius, inventive writing but too many mechanics of a book rather than just a story!I feel bad rating since I DNF-ed it so on here I’m not going to!A huge thank you to @netgalley & @orionbooks for giving me an arc of this for review! I was super happy to try it before its release!
