I am currently reading Time of Contempt but man Blood of Elves was one boring and uninteresting ride I had to take to move forward. The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny were such amazing books and then BOE literally killed me.... I mean there are only 2 things I thought were worth remembering and those were Chapter 4 with the dwarf massacre and 6th Chapter's Geralt vs Rience and goons. Rest was absolutely bullshit for me. It wasn't even world building stuff except Vilgefortz who I think would be important in future books....
Please don't give me any spoilers for the following books but do discuss blood of elves with me and make me see what I couldn't!
