Really enjoyed this book. The episodic nature of this book was really refreshing for me. The way lore/exposition is done feels very natural: enough is left to the imagination but not leaving me confused at all. I love the darker takes on fairy tales/folklore and Geralt's morality is explored really well.
Though I do have to note the way women are spoken of and sometimes depicted may come off as misogynistic. But for me at least, it's not that egregious and can be explained off at period-typical (in the book) views. Overall, would recommend if you're okay with that!
