About this listen

The Time of Contempt: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!

Soon to be a major Netflix original series!

To protect his ward, Ciri, Geralt of Rivia, sends her away from the home of the Witchers to train with the sorceress Yennefer. But all is not well within the Wizard's Guild in the second book of the NYT best-selling series that inspired the blockbuster video games.

Geralt is a witcher: guardian of the innocent; protector of those in need; a defender, in dark times, against some of the most frightening creatures of myth and legend. His task, now, is to protect Ciri. A child of prophecy, she will have the power to change the world for good or for ill - but only if she lives to use it.

Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series.

Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Entertaining

I don't like handing out 5's. This came close. I'd give it a 4.6ish if I could. Since I couldn't I gave it a 4. The story is progressing nicely. It can get confusing with all the characters and factions.

Another great one!

I love these Witcher stories! Time of Contempt did a great job progressing Ciri"s character. The narration is great, I enjoy the effort in making different voices for different characters. Can't wait for the next one!

Another Great Witcher Story

I’m so pleased with this series and the added music and sound, it really adds to the listening experience. Name pronunciation drove me nuts. Dandelion pronounced as “Dan-Dillion”, Dikstra as “Die-k-stra” - like nails on a chalk board.

I started with the games, then the show, and now I'm reading through the books, and they are fantastic!

Great perfomance and story!

What a great perfomance by Peter Kenny yet again.
The story is becoming more and more intriguing and I am eager to listen to the next book right away.
Listening to the book is a really good way to read and I would recommend to annyone who thinks they do not have enough time to open a book and read.

Don't miss this series

To find a series of incredible books written in a unique style about a man attempting to guard a child. . Well that sounds dull. But it is instead thrilling. Not just the excellent fights or the witty rejoinders that embroider this wonderful series

Love it!

The narrator is hilarious and amazing, I am 100% going to listen to the whole series instead of just reading it just because of him.

I hate the background music

I didn’t realize I bought the soundtracked version and I really regret it. Makes it much harder for me to visualize.
