Ch.3 [Baptism of Fire]

Discussion of Baptism of Fire, Chapter 3

Last chapter we were sneaking through a war zone, and this chapter adds monsters and magic to the equation. Our fellowship’s fears and philosophies get more complex, and Sapkowski continues to hammer the Tolkien echoes. We don’t just read about isolationism and the suspicion of strangers – he provokes those uncomfortable feelings within us. As Geralt’s mission falters, we discuss the psychological implications of his bad decision-making.
