I thoroughly enjoyed this! The audiobook version has a great reader/voice actor, too! A great addition to the Witcher series.

Unlike The Last Wish, Sword of Destiny did not start off with a bang. I actually really hated the writing and the characters and the excessive misogyny was really rubbing me the wrong way. I actually think the show did a better job with the short story than the book did. Then the second short story also bothered the hell out of me. (I think it's also good to know that the translation probably played a factor in how I felt about things being said, how things were worded, etc.)
Anyways, I was ready to dnf this book but after those first two short stories it picked up and I began enjoying myself again. There was a lot more of Geralt and Dandelion adventuring together. I love their banter and their friendship and I also liked the monsters they were facing. I especially liked the story with Little Eye, she was the best. Of course, the Witcher universe is set in this ugly, disgusting and truly terrible world, but ultimately, as long as Geralt and Dandelion are around I will be happy.
Also, I am so ready to continue the series after how this book ended! It really pumped me up!
