In this book, Geralt of Rivia is a witcher, a monster hunter who travels around earning his living by taking care of problems that plague the people. For the right price, of course. Surprisingly, he has more of a code than many people imagine, and most don't understand him. But in the end, he gets the job done.
If you've watched the first two seasons of the Netflix series, you'll recgonize all the main stories included in this book. The tales of the striga, boar-man, Renfri, Calanthe's daughter, the sylvan and the elves, and the djinn and Yennefer are covered here. With the exception of the djinn and Yen, the stories are the "side quests." On the other hand, they are somewhat different, and Ciri isn't present in the book at all.
The writing style was good, and I didn't get bored reading this, even though I already knew what was going to happen. It's not the author's fault that I already knew things, so it's a bit difficult to rank this book. I think if you start reading this knowing what you're getting into, you won't be disappointed by the repetition if you've seen the show. It's a good book, and I'd like to read more of the series. Good Book!
