This is really just a collection of short stories, but I don’t mind that. Had the feel of reading a pulp fantasy novel at times. We get a decent handle on Gerald’s character and some great lore. Will for sure continue with the series.

The book definitely has a male gaze thing going on. To a somewhat weird degree.

I wanted to watch the series (I'm always late to the party) but I wanted to read a bit about the original lore first. I absolutely loved this book! I feel like it gave me a really good introduction to the characters and world of the Witcher. I'm always a bit apprehensive when starting a new fantasy (especially one that has as much lore as this one). However, the format of this book and the gradual introduction to each part of the worldbuilding and magic system made things a lot less intimidating. I adore Geralt as a character. He is so gruff and puts on this "I'm-only-in-it-for-the-money" persona. However, his actions continuously show that he has a kind and compassionate heart. I also really enjoyed the Slavic influences when it came to the world and the mythology surrounding it. 

I look forward to continuing with the series!
