Some of these tales I was a bit familiar with and others were completely new. I was happy to read about Dudu; I remembered that character. I also really liked the way this ended. Even though it's supposed to be short stories, they are connected for the most part.
I have to say that I really liked Yurga...mostly. Except for that one part where he's ready to give up his son, he was a pretty interesting character. Ciri was also pretty much what you would expect from a child her age, and I found it more realistic (can you say that in a fantasy series?) that she made mistakes and acted like a real child.
The thing that really struck me was how much emotion Geralt had in this book. Witchers are notorious for having zero emotion and being ruthless killers. In this book, you see that painting them all with that kind of broad brushstroke is unfair and untrue.
This book was really good, and one of my favorites so far. I'm looking forward to jumping back to where I was before and seeing if I can remember what was going on! ;) Good Book!
