New year, new book, new infographic style! At long last, Ciri has returned – not Falka, but actually Ciri, and she's got a new single serving guest star whom we lovingly nicknamed Vizzy da Bomba. But who is this new man? Is he the narrator? The storyteller from last chapter? Sapkowski himself? Geralt? Regis?? Another unicorn?!?! We take a longer look at the new narrative preoccupation in this chapter, with its cutaway zoom-out scenes and underlying struggles with objectivity and the act of narration.
