Time of Contempt (1995)
Others: Mostly negative Świat Ciri i wiedźmina ogarniają płomienie. Nastał zapowiadany przez Ithlinne czas miecza i topora - czas pogardy. A w czasach pogardy na powierzchnię wypełzają Szczury, atakujące po szczurzemu, cicho, zdradziecko i okrutnie. To maruderzy z rozbitych armii, zabłąkane dzieciaki, zgwałcone dziewczyny, wieśniacy, których obejścia spalono, a rodziny wymordowano. Wyrzutki, dziwna zbieranina stworzona przez wojnę i na wojennym nieszczęściu żerująca.

The Tower of Swallows
Andrzej Sapkowski
1997 · 448 pages · 4 reviews
Others: Mostly negativeJesienne Ekwinokcjum tegoż dziwnego roku przyniosło rozmaite znaki na niebie i na ziemi, które jakoweś klęski niechybnie zwiastowały. Tuż przed północą zerwała się straszliwa zawierucha, zadął potępieńczy wicher, a pędzone po niebie chmury przybrały fantastyczne kształty, wśród których najczęściej powtarzały się sylwetki galopujących koni i jednorożców. Lelki dzikimi głosami wyśpiewywały konajączkę, zaskowyczała beann''shie, zwiastunka rychłej i gwałtownej śmierci. A gdy przecwałował Dziki Gon i rozwiały się chmury, ludzie zobaczyli księżyc – malejący, jak zwykle w czas Zrównania. Ale tej nocy księżyc miał barwę krwi. W świątyni bogini Melitele trzy osoby śnią ten sam sen. "Krew na jej twarzy... Tyle krwi...”

Andrzej Sapkowski
1994 · 409 pages · 4 reviews
Others: Mostly positiveAndrzej Sapkowski, arcymistrz światowej fantasy, zaprasza do swojego Neverlandu i przedstawia uwielbianą przez czytelników i wychwalaną przez krytykę wiedźmińską sagę! „Tako rzecze Ithlinne, elfia wieszczka i uzdrowicielka: Drżyjcie, albowiem nadchodzi Niszczyciel Narodów. Stratują waszą ziemię i sznurem ją podzielą. Miasta wasze zostaną zburzone i pozbawione mieszkańców. Nietoperz i kruk w domach waszych zamieszkają, drzewo straci liść, zgnije owoc i zgorzknieje ziarno. Zaprawdę powiadam wam, oto nadchodzi czas miecza i topora, wiek wilczej zamieci. Miasto płonie, wąskie uliczki zieją ogniem i żarem. Narasta wrzask, odgłosy zajadłej walki, murem wstrząsają głuche uderzenia taranu. Krzyk, strach. Obezwładniający, paraliżujący, duszący strach”.

P. Djèlí Clark
2021 · 432 pages · 12 reviews
Others: Mostly positiveNebula, Locus, and Alex Award-winner P. Djèlí Clark goes full-length for the first time in his dazzling debut novel Cairo, 1912: Though Fatma el-Sha’arawi is the youngest woman working for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, she’s certainly not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last summer. So when someone murders a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most famous men in history, al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called onto the case. Al-Jahiz transformed the world forty years ago when he opened up the veil between the magical and mundane realms, before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer claims to be al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets of Cairo that threaten to spill over onto the global stage. Alongside her Ministry colleagues and a familiar person from her past, Agent Fatma must unravel the mystery behind this imposter to restore peace to the city—or face the possibility he could be exactly who he seems…

Becky Chambers
2021 · 160 pages · 30 reviews
Others: Mostly positiveIt's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They're going to need to ask it a lot. Becky Chambers's new series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?

Others: Mostly positiveSuperior Glokta has a problem. How do you defend a city surrounded by enemies and riddled with traitors, when your allies can by no means be trusted, and your predecessor vanished without a trace? It’s enough to make a torturer want to run – if he could even walk without a stick. Northmen have spilled over the border of Angland and are spreading fire and death across the frozen country. Crown Prince Ladisla is poised to drive them back and win undying glory. There is only one problem – he commands the worst-armed, worst-trained, worst-led army in the world. And Bayaz, the First of the Magi, is leading a party of bold adventurers on a perilous mission through the ruins of the past. The most hated woman in the South, the most feared man in the North, and the most selfish boy in the Union make a strange alliance, but a deadly one. They might even stand a chance of saving mankind from the Eaters. If they didn’t hate each other quite so much. Ancient secrets will be uncovered. Bloody battles will be won and lost. Bitter enemies will be forgiven – but not before they are hanged.

Not a fanI don't imagine anything could be as bad as Time of Contempt. But I get angrier at Time of Contempt, the further I get because I feel like there was really important world building in Time of Contempt that I still don't understand.
