Decided to pick this up after watching season 2 of The Witcher. I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting to, it was an easy read and I liked most of the short stories. It covers a lot of the stories that season 1 of The Witcher is based on, so I was able to get more of an understanding on what was happening.
One thing I found really cool about this book was that it contained elements of fairy tales. Some of the stories were like dark retellings of fairy tales set in the Witcher universe. Beauty and the Beast and Snow White were the two prevalent stories with mentions of other fairytale characters such as Rumpelstiltskin, and Rapunzel like 'monster' princesses who are locked up in towers because they're believed to herald the end of the world.
Overall a decent read, Geralt was definitely more talkative in the books than he is in the show. There's also a lot of nudity in the books, breasts are mentioned quite a few times, so the amount of nudity in the show makes sense, it's canon.
