Blurb:
 Geralt of Rivia. The legendary swordsman whose mission is to protect ordinary people from monsters. A mutant tasked with killing unnatural beings. He uses magical signs, potions and the pride of every witcher - his two swords, steel and silver.
 But when a contract goes wrong, Geralt's signature weapons are stolen. He wants them back, even if he has to travel to the other end of the world, outwit scheming sorcerers and slay countless monsters to retrieve them.

Review:
 That was a very enjoyable book. I'm so glad I decided to leave this book until after finishing the series, despite it being very early chronologically in the series! The short stories and this full length book are easily my favourite installments of the series. Not too much politics or a huge overall drama going on. Easier stuff to deal with.
 The monsters we see in this novel are interesting and intelligent in a way that had had me tense until the final pages. The characters, well. Geralt is Geralt. Dandelion is Dandelion. Surprising but excellent appearance from Yennefer. Lots of characters we've met through the main series, Sapkowski is truly fantastic at tying all the stories together.
 That's all. I really don't have much to say. It was easy, fun, brutal adventure and reading after completing the series added some weight to the characters. Fantastic.
