I had often wished for the chance to meet His Imperial Majesty, of course, but hardly under these circumstances. I’d really envisioned something more along the lines of a command performance for the court, or perhaps a ceremony of decoration as a Master of the Arts.

Reviews

Fantastic narrative choice: Dandelion voice is perfect, so is the story he tells. It amazed me that I was able to hear Jaskier-Dandelion's voice from the original books in this English language story, even though the author does not know the books. The game must have good characterizations, true to Sapkowski's characters; I will finally capitulate and find time for it myself.
ETA: 2019. On the second day of Christmas, Dandelion said to me: "I'm the perfect narrative voice". And yes, like before, I agree completely.

This is lovely. Why? She said it best.
Astolat is so very proficient in her excellent, very satisfying use of the unreliable narrator. Not my favorite witcher story, but a very good one.

It's probably a testament to Astolat's amazingness that I'd expected a lot more from this unreliable narrator POV. Interwoven, intricate hints mostly to make this a more amusing read. Instead, I eventually got frustrated being in Dandelion's boring head while the party happened elsewhere.
Though the bonus chapter helped some.

Outsider POV with Dandelion as the unreliable narrator. And an epilogue with Emhyr's POV. What could be better?
