A male power fantasy but a great one. I love the adaptation of classic stories to this world. I love the characters. I love how they interact. Jaskier (Dandelion) and Geralt's relationship is so well written. They really sound like old friends and I smile every time they have scenes together.

I will be completely honest and say I didn’t follow the plot of the short stories that closely because I listened to the audiobook while playing video games, but from what I heard I really enjoyed it. The pacing did not feel too slow as it can in fantasy adventuring stories, and the action never felt disjointed or separated from the plot. And I liked the whole the-princesses-are-the-monsters twist on fairy tale plots, it was a nice nod to the fact that every fairy tale and legend has a bigger story behind it. 

My only gripe: the love interests are not interesting or lovely, mostly just annoying.
