Have you seen this?

I'm still on the wait list for the books, but I found some of the analysis in that article interesting.

Wow! That was a great analysis. It's very spot on in regards to the portrayal of women and women's bodies in The Witcher verse. Women are regarded as walking wombs a lot of the time in the series narrative (which is what makes the actual female characters interesting, as they play on that worldview - the Lodge and Ciri especially). I'll add that as far as the grossness and vile behaviour towards women goes, Sapkowski does portray it as equally abhorrent as the rest of the goings on of the war. It's a grim but believable take I haven't seen beyond the Black Company books. I hate descriptions of rape, but there was never a point in the books where I thought it went too far or was there for shock/titillation. So points to Sapkowski for that!

Thanks for the link!
