„Evil is evil, Stregobor.“

A couple of nice tales about Geralt's adventures. Easy to read and complex enough that I'm not bored, yet simple enough that I could relax while reading. And the balance between deep themes and questions and exciting battles is just right. Nothing groundbreaking, but still, I had a great time.

I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first one, I don't think. I like that a lot of these stories focused a lot more on the characters than anything else, though! It definitely helped me to connect with them more than I did in the first book, particularly Geralt. In the first book, I had some trouble connecting with him and really loving him the way everyone else seems to, but this book definitely got me closer to it, even if I'm still not all the way there. I think my favorite stories were A Little Sacrifice and The Sword of Destiny. I really enjoyed both of those. I don't really have much else to say about this book that I didn't already say in my review of the first one, though.
