Now we're really into the Witcher adventures. They're essentially a set of seemingly unrelated stories, but over the arc of time they unexpectedly start weaving together. This one rounds out with an incredible ending, where choices and destiny play out to a make for a great tale.

A fun introductory adventure through the world of The Witcher. Finally, we learn how he met Yennefer! He reminds me a bit of a less pure version Drizzt - a good guy in a tough world. He talks a lot more than in the games or TV show, and I think it's better as he's a more rich character for it.

A pretty fun adventure. So much bad luck for poor Geralt.
The writing feels a bit amateur though, with some pretty blatant exposition like "oh no, look at that boat, it's bad news", almost like there wasn't time to paint the picture of what's going on.
It means the book is quite fast paced, but lacks a little art.

A really enjoyable book exploring a simple question: if you could go back and save JFK, would you? Would you go through all the pain that came with it? What about if there were negative consequences? What about if doing it had negative consequences and cost you everything you cared for?
Ultimately the book is about time travel and morals, and it's awesome. Why not 5 stars? It's just so damn American, there's quite a lot that's culturally specific that doesn't have much impact on someone born outside the US. Still a great book overall.
