The Bounds of Reason: Once again, coming back to the Witcher series is a revelation. The writing is so damn good, the characterization is nuanced, the world is interesting, and the plot always twists about. It's almost like the perfect fantasy. This story was enjoyable.as a group goes off to slay or save dragon, cross purposes and motivations abound. Geralt and Yen's developing unconventional love story rocks. 5 star

Sword of Destiny: As with previous stories, I'm so impressed by the language and the tone that Sapkowski manages to foster in these stories. They feel like a perfect mixture of high and low fantasy, the best of Conan stories mixed with the destiny and wonder of Tolkien. This story is a charm, and keeps you guessing, while also introducing Ciri for the first time, who will become the series most important character. 4

A Little Sacrifice - I'm continually impressed by the tone and language in these Witcher novels. They're at the same time romantic and realistic, complex and simple. This one is a beautiful, winding story that turns out to be a romance, a beautiful chapter in the witcher's life that doesn't do much more than add beautiful flavor. Each thread is picked up and abandoned. It's a beautiful story. 5 stars.

Eternal Flame: A fun story, but a little boring at times. The main thrust is a Doppler who is wreaking havok in Novigrad, and weirdly there's a lot of talk about figures and taxes and commerce. It's an interesting sort of witcher story, very different in a way that would normally excite me, but this one just left me a bit cold. Not sure why that is. It was finely written just... Not my thing, I guess? 3 stars.

A Shard of Ice: I'm continually impressed by this fantasy series as it sits when you're expecting a zag. This story is about a relationship, and in every way, it does not disappoint. A chekov's duel is squashed easily. Another duel seems inevitable and is avoided because the characters make sense with their emotions and feelings. Perfectly written, I love the witcher series. 5 stars.
