![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s not forget though that this is a translation, and within the nature of that, nuances, meaning and general flow can be lost. If you’re expecting lyrical descriptive prose here, you won’t find it. Although the writing felt repetitive at times, I still found myself engaged in seeing each scene unfold. On the whole, I mostly enjoyed each story immensely. From there on the stories consist of Geralt facing mimics, mermaids, sea monsters and druids, alongside partially chasing his beloved Yennefer. The story follows Geralt as he goes to watch the townsfolk embark on killing a dragon although Geralt is bound by a Witcher code not to kill intelligent creatures, he still travels to see how the events unfold. The opening of Sword of Destiny introduces Geralt once again on his monster-hunting mission, which is his sole purpose as a Witcher. Although this collection is not as action-packed or as dark as its predecessor, it’s still a thoroughly enjoyable read that delves deeper into the complex world and character of the Witcher. This time around we see many escapades with Geralt of Rivia and his longtime friend, Dandelion the bard. Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski is the second book in The Witcher series and is comprised of another collection of short stories. Death is the other blade of the two-edged sword. The only thing that everyone is destined for is death. ![]()
