I loved this book dearly, and was surprised at how much so. Although I probably should not be surprised, given the rating I gave to the other prequel Witcher book, I still did not expect to have such a love for the characters. Geralt is such a wonderful character to follow along in his adventures, especially how he is an absolute simp for mommy Yennefer. I love the strange dynamic between them that has been formed from the last short story of the previous book. They have a love denial relationship, although the denial is def only coming from Yen. I am excited to read the other books in this series, this series is so much better than the TV show it is a crime that I don't see the books mentioned on bookish social media as often. 11/10 recommend and insanely glad I bought the special illustrated editions!!
