Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski
4.0
so so so good !
the yennefer stories at the beginning of the collection were great to continue to establish her character and her relationship with geralt. she is a very interesting person. im excited to see more.
the doppler story and essi's tale were very interesting. i am very much enjoying how much dandelion we get here. he is so brilliant and brings out something great in geralt. essi's infatuation with geralt was so sad - she was a lovely character who i wish we could have met again. dandelion's song that he composes at the end was perhaps one of the most heartfelt moments of the series so far.
and then we have the ciri stories. meeting little ciri was perfect. she works so well with geralt, and seeing how quickly they bond and feel comfortable in each other's presence is wonderful. 'something more' was great as geralt dipped in and out of consciousness, lingering on past memories and questioning the concept of destiny before finally being reunited with ciri after losing hope of her survival. the scene where they run into each other's arms was beautiful.
they came together in the centre of the farmland. the mousy-haired girl in a grey dress. and the white haired witcher with a sword on his back, all dressed in black leather, gleaming with silver. the witcher bounding softly, the girl trotting, the witcher on his knees, the girl's thin hands around his neck, the mousy hair on his shoulders
'am i your destiny?'
'you're more than that ciri. much more'
