Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski
5.0
Slowly but surely, I am getting through The Witcher Series. I wish I could just take a week and binge read it all. Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski is a collection of tales of The Witcher. It is broken up into six stories: The Bounds of Reason, A Shard of Ice, Eternal Flame, A Little Sacrifice, The Sword of Destiny, and Something More. I think my favorites out of all these stories is The Sword of Destiny and Something More. Like The Last Wish-Introduction to the Witcher, it is just a series of tales that give more background to Geralt and other characters. In this series, we finally get to meet Ciri which introduces a plotline that sounds like it will be a prominent storyline in the rest of the series.
I am so immersed into the Witcher world that I don’t want to stop reading the series. I love how some of the tales in this book mirrored some classic fairytales with their own spin. The monsters get more intense but the line of who is an actual monster gets more blurred. The Witcher has his code which I found to be very admirable. These books read so quickly because the pace moves along so gracefully. One of my favorite aspects are the fighting details. In other books, the fight scenes seem rather generic. Not in The Witcher. The fight scenes are so descriptive that it is very clear what is happening and builds suspense.
Another aspect that I love are the characters and their relationships. I absolutely love Ciri and can’t wait to see where her story goes. But, Dandelion is utterly fantastic. I love his relationship with Geralt. He brings a little comedy and lightness to the story. There were many times when he made me laugh out loud. Overall, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
