Sapkowski tends to skip over actual battles and wars and only deal with the inhuman fallout of peasants starving and sorcerers going blind and both armies raping and looting and the racial tensions it causes between the humans and nonhumans (which is to say its mostly humans lynching integrated members of the other races as a response to the cruelties commited by elf guerillas) and war profiteers and schemers and ruined roads and gallows etc BUT. the battle of brenna, the one he actually brothered to write? possibly if not definitely the gretest and most gripping battle scene ever. the multiple prespectives of various division members across the it peppered with character we've mostly met before, the scouts Not doing their job properly out of simply fear that results in Nilfgaard getting fucked (and their general who learns this by seeing the Nordlings get the unexpected reinforcment immediately orders all of them to be hanged unaware that they just got killed in the very same charge). said generals on the hills trying to command. the 17 year old courier trying to get to one of the wings to forward an order realising he bit more than he could chew. Jarre signing up despite being exluded from the draft losing a hand. the dwarves division being put in the worst positions because they'd rather send other races there over the humans. the medic tent pov, which is The main pov if i had to name one, that is once marveling at a particularly interesting injury (a witcher dying by 2 teeth. wonder if this will have any relevance later) or almost getting killed my nilfgaardians or losing hope. the courier making it with the message after all only to fall of the saddle and have his head immediately crushed under the hooves. not a single main character is mentioned for the whole chapter btw

[harpersgonnaharp]

The fact that not a single main character is mentioned is the thing that stuck out to me (especially after I read a Google review that complained about how Sapkowski made the book boring by doing so). Quite often we see the Big Battles in Hero Moments, or what I call Avengers Style: the whole of New York City is decimated, with people's lives taken or irreversibly changed, but LOOK HOW AWESOME OUR HEROES ARE IN THEIR HERO MOMENT! Who cares about the rest?

The fact that Sapkowski chose to focus on the impacts of war on those who are not the heroes (those who find themselves drawn in regardless of their beliefs, those who have no power or choice but to be effected, those who are the victims, those who are trying to help in these times of hardship), I think was a big part of why I like him as an author so much. Sure, the heroes in a "gritty" fantasy novel are fun, and Sapkowski crafts very compelling characters, but his refusal to hand wave about the impacts on *everyone else* demonstrates an understanding of how war affects real lives.

having a soft small pet is like, you are so vulnerable, you are biting me, I am responsible for your fragile life in almost every way, your knife hands are in my stomach, I love you more than anything, stop eating plastic you heathen, I cannot save you from the slow march of age or explain to you the divergence of our life spans which consumes me

one of my favorite bits in lord of the rings is something the movies didn't really try to do because it's entirely internal, but sam's carrying the ring and it starts trying to do its work on him, so he's having these intrusive visions of himself marching at the head of a vast and terrible army, and he just starts laughing because, me? samwise gamgee? sam gamgee the general sam gamgee the dark lord are you for real? man i just want to go home and do some gardening. and the ring gets frustrated and it starts trying to figure out other stuff that would actually tempt sam and it's finally like, okay, but hear me out: imagine if you could have...A REALLY REALLY BIG GARDEN

Lord of the rings from Saurons perspective is a fucking fever dream because he started by reforming his essence into some physical form in mirkwood and before he even has enough strength to feel that the ring was even in the same forest as him he gets chased off by a group of wizards and elves looking to fuck some shit up. There goes his plan to get a dragon on his side

So he holds up in mordor gathering a new army, and only after about a century is he strong enough to do cool magic shit again, by that time however the ring hadnt been used in decades so there were no whispers of it except oops we found this weird little fucker who keeps yelling about his fucking precious, better go check out “shire baggins” whatever the fuck that is

So he finds out a fucking hobbit has his ring which in middle earth terms is like finding out mr magoo has your fucking nuclear launch codes. So he starts sending wave after wave of his own men to get the ring and they keep failing cause this fucking hobbit has friends. He has his homie saruman send some uruk-hai to get them and then sends some goblins to make sure everything goes right but for no apparent reason they stop reporting in, (something about horses and trees?) so he sends a guy to ask saruman straight out wheres my fucking ring and saruman straight up lies about it. Next thing he hears saruman has launched an all our invasion of rohan with 10000 uruk-hai so rip the bronies right? Nope the next day his army is defeated and saruman has fucking vanished.

Confused as fuck now sauron gets a fucking phone call from a god damn hobbit (ITS YOU!) but all he gets out of the little sovereign citizen is some shit about “i do not answer questions” and next thing he hears the hobbit has gone to fucking gondor. Alright send fucking everything we got, take gondor do whatever it takes get my fucking ring back. And what does he have to worry about right? After all even if rohan helps he’ll still win. Wtf is that an army of ghosts???!?!?!?

So then hes sitting there with his diminished army trying to figure out his next plan of attack and he gets another fucking phone call from the god damn great grandson of the prick who cut off his ring in the first place. “Oi cunt i got ur ring and im gonna fuc u up m8!” *click*

Goody he thinks, this arrogant sob is gonna bring my ring right to me, time to throw everything i got at this bastard. So then the fight starts hes super excited cause hes clearly winning and OH DEAR GOD MY RING IS IN THE VOLCANO HOW THE FU- *dies*

Now hes a weird ghost thing that cant ever do anything but lament how big a prick he is
