This started off well for me, but then I found that I lost interest in Geralt's various adventures the more the story progressed. This collection (?) of stories features a few retellings of famous fairy tales, like Beauty and the Beast, but it offers a new twist to them by changing the outcome of the story, or by portraying the villain as a hero and vice versa. Maybe this book didn't work for me because I was looking for a traditional fantasy story with a start, middle, and end (which I'm told is the format for the main books in the series). I should have started with vol 1 instead of this one, despite everyone on the internet saying to start with this prologue of sorts.

Meh, I guess this story just isn't for me.
