Once again, really enjoyed this short story collection. I liked the Bounds of Reason but it was a bit too long. A Shard of Ice was pretty good. Eternal Flame was so much fun. Did not care for A Little Sacrifice. The Sword of Destiny and Something More are the obvious stand outs and I thought they were both great. I loved how we got more in depth with the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer, and we learned a lot more about Geralt as well. And of course, we meet Ciri for the first time. I love all the powerful female characters so far in the series, but I will say that this one had a bit more misogyny than in the Last Wish, which is disappointing cause you can tell that the author is often making a statement throughout the book about the importance of a women’s agency and choices. There were definitely a few lines and moments that were genuinely kind of uncomfortable for me personally. Overall though, I really enjoyed this collection and I’m excited to start the main story.
