The author did it again ! Another masterpiece to add to my collection. Also I love how the short stories showed us how complicated the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer is. But I got to see him through a different side and I appreciated it so much .

It was brilliant and I hoped for a 5 star rating, but then, when it came to the end, it became a bit too quick and disappointing. But if Chris Hadfield releases another book, you can count me in !

takze vlastne miloval dievcatka zvane nymficky ale nedokazal si splnit svoje uchylne myslienky pretoze spolocnost nedovolila tak si ich plnil v myslienkach a navstevami prostitutok zo zaciatku a potom sa zenil lebo nemohol nic mat so svojimi nymfickami??
aspon viem cim prechadza pedofil a ake pocity ma, ked vidi svoju vyvolenu alebo vyvoleneho
pekna a poucna kniha aspon pre mna
