God I loved it so much. Loved all the emotional and vulnerable moments of Geralt, a witcher who according to people of the witcher world isn't supposed to feel emotions.Him meeting his mother, hearing about what happened in Cintra, thinking that Ciri is most likely dead and then finally meeting her. I loved all of these moments so much.
Not sure how I feel about Yen in this book, sometimes I love her for showing Geralt that he can't just do whatever he wants and hop in and hop out of the relation whenever he wants but other times I hate her. How casually she says on his face that she cheated on him and sometimes down right insults him without feeling a bit sorry. I do believe they deserve each other though lol.
The saddest story was definitely 'A Little Sacrifice' for sure. Poor Essi, never got be truly loved and died a miserable death. I know she isn't a good match for Geralt but god it hurt to see her like that, desperate to be loved. I wish her story would have ended with her moving on and finding someone else.
It also showed a different side to Dandelion, a deeper version of him. He writes a poem about Geralt and Essi, sings it once and never again. No one heard it except the werewolf. And he was such a badass to carry Essi's body, not fearing the smallpox and giving her a proper burial with her lute and her necklace buried with her.
I can't wait for the mother-daughter relationship between Yen and Ciri. The Last wish is going to fulfilled, not as expected, but through destiny.
