Sword of Destiny (The Witcher, #0.75)

by Andrzej Sapkowski

After reading The Last Wish earlier this month, I just had to pick this up ASAP, I was hooked on this world and needed to know more.  And more was what I got!  This was another collection of short stories, and they gave me more of a glimpse into the world.  The dialogue was even better in this one, and it was great to see some old faces and have that connection to the first book of short stories (which was actually written after this one). 

Much like the first book of short stories, I wanted more from this one - short stories are never enough for me!  I'm really intrigued after that ending to get into the series proper, and see where it all goes from there.  I also went out and bought the whole series, so now I can read it at my leisure and not at the mercy of my library!
