Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski

"You must be insane, Dandelion," the Witcher said, leaning over in the saddle. "You must be insane with fear, if you could think I'd leave you."
I loved this book. The characters are some of the best. They are deep, and I especially enjoyed the relationships between them. Everyone says that Witchers are emotionless, which is why it makes it so much better to see the way Geralt cares for his friends, especially Dandelion, Yennefer, and Ciri. Every time any of these characters interacted, it tugged on my emotions, and a book that can make me feel this way deserves 5 stars. Dandelion was humourous as always, but even more-so than usual--he was a delight to read. And the interactions between Geralt and Ciri were very emotional. Especially the very last page, when Geralt and Ciri found each other actually made my eyes well. It was fantastic!
"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.
'...We'll be together now, won't we? Now we'll be together, won't we? Say it, Geralt! Forever! Say it!'
'Forever, Ciri.'"
Even the side characters deserve praise. Dudu the doppler and Vespula (both of whom I know from the games). It was nice to get to know them better. Fantastic book! I love the Witcher!
