Well I actually liked it, the reason why i didn't rate it higher is because I left the book for more than 2 months before finally finishing it. For that reason i felt a bit disconnected by the end. I liked the twists on well known fairytales. I will go on with the series and see how i like it

After the tv show came out I was fascinated by Geralt and the origin of the Witchers, so I tried to read Blood of Elves, and DNF for some reason. I picked up this one and found it to be a much easier starting point! Geralt has such a dry sense of humor and after a few chapters I understood how the story was being told. I wish the author added a few more descriptions, be it of appearance or action - you have to read between the lines quite a bit. However I love fantasy and I loved this - can't wait to start sword of destiny.

This was a fun, fast-paced and action-filled introduction to The Witcher! Definetely recommend if you loved the game(s) and/or Netflix series.
Also, I have to admit I liked that some of the shorts in here were inspired by classic fairytales! (but then Witcher-style (ofcourse ;)
