He disfrutado mucho con este primer libro de la saga de Geralt. Al principio me costó un poco hacerme a la forma de escribir del autor y a las expresiones que usa (chocantes a veces). Me ha gustado ver enlazados en la trama cuentos clásicos como Blancanieves, La Bella y la Bestia... Deja sin lugar a dudas con gana de continuar leyendo las aventuras de Geralt de Rivia.
The book was published 1 year after the publication of the first book from the witcher series. This one can be termed as the prequel.
I found the book interesting. It has short stories, where Geralt meets other main characters of the book series. However, this book is mainly about the world building in my opinion.
The world of witcher series is complicated: humans, elves, dwarfs, vampires, trolls, and blood hungry monsters. With this book you can get an idea as to how they all are living with each other, or not.
Should you skip it? I think since there is no major arc in this book, you can skip it. However, if you are reading a fantasy world building book, why go for half measures? Devour everything, get obsessed, then move onto something else. This is how life becomes interesting anyway.

Quelle déception... Une chronologie inutilement complexe, une histoire sans intrigue, au moins un million de blagues misogynes et une culture du viol omniprésente... Seulement quelques passages plus intéressants et amusants mais un bilan particulièrement négatif... Je l'ai fini pour la gloire mais je ne toucherais pas à la suite avec un bâton.
