A very enjoyable compendium of short stories about Geralt. None of these stories were new to me (apart from the one spread throughout the book in the Voice of Reason chapters) as they were all featured in the Netflix adaptation and so it was very interesting to read them and parse out the differences. 

The additional level of philosophical and moral musings that Sapkowski adds to the text were interesting, at times amusing, and always thought provoking. They’re a feature that the show could definitely do with.
