Mixed feelings about this title. Some of the chapters were as gripping and iconoclastic as the most excellent stories in The Last Wish, but it nearly lost me when it got bogged down in the internal and external politics of imaginary kingdoms/wizards guilds, etc. Sapkowski is definitely at his best during the clever dialogue-only bits, or when sending up the foibles and vanities of authority figures. I will definitely carry on to read The Time of Contempt.
