Geralt was always going to stand out, with his white hair and piercing eyes, his cynicism and lack of respect for authority --- but he is far more than just a striking-looking man.

My favorite of the Witcher books so far. This was enhanced by my experience with the game and getting to learn more about the characters I'd met there.
Wiedźmin powoli zaczyna nudzić. Przerost formy nad treścią. Polityka polegająca na zasypaniu czytelnika nazwiskami, pomimo tego że intrygi są dosyć banalne (każdy i tak wie o każdym niemal wszystko). Gdy jednak Sapkowski przechodzi do akcji, wędrówki itd., to jest to całkiem niezłe czytadło.
