Blood of Elves (Mini-Review)

Blood of Elves is the first novel in Andrej Sapkowski's Witcher series. Without a ruler, there is a political struggle to decide who will rule Cintra. Whoever is crowned king must have Princess Cirilla as his bride or else no one will accept his rule. It isn't enough that Ciri is an important political figure, she is also of great interest among those who specialize in magic. It is Geralt of Rivia's duty to protect the princess, but that's easier said than done.
