It took me a while to add this one to my library, but it finally dropped in price. This book doesn't continue the story after The Lady of the Lake, but instead dives into the past.
Geralt has handed over his swords to get into a city in Kerack, but when there's a misunderstanding (setup), he's arrested. When he goes back to retrieve his weapons, they're gone. Now he's got to try and get them back, but he's got sorcerers and princes trying to manipulate him for their own ends.
The story here was really interesting. I recognized the tale of the fox children from the graphic novel, so that was neat. I'm always a sucker for Sapkowski's worldbuilding. Coral was a bit much, but it's always great to know Dandelion's there. Yennefer even shows up here and there briefly.
Overall, I really did like this book. They're always page turners for me, and I'm looking forward to the day I get my hands on Crossroads of Ravens. Good Book!
