This is the second installment in The Witcher series and, like the first, is made up of short stories following Geralt as he journeys through the land. The timeline of Sword of Destiny is linear which made it much easier to follow and it felt more like a novel than the first volume did. I liked seeing a bit more of Dandelion, Yennefer, and Ciri who all were lovable in their own ways. I expected mostly trite adventure stories but some surprisingly emotional moments snuck up on me and I finished the book feeling as if I had been journeying right along with these characters. Masterful work on the part of the author. I can't wait to start on the first Witcher novel and follow along with Geralt and the rest as they traverse the paths of destiny...
