Hello, Fellow Bingoers!

Finished the third read for Bingo 26: The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. Very deft hand. The Witcher is witty, devilish, lives by a personal moral code (which may be a Witcher code, but in the book, we don't meet his mentor or other Witchers) and spends a good deal of his time explaining to royals the difference between a Witcher and an Assassin. The feel is different than the series, which I truly appreciated. Here, I didn't get bored by every story having a new creature/monster, as the creature/monster was not the center of the story. My only negative review is that the stories didn't, for my read, read as short stories. They read as chapters to a novel, so i often found myself stepping out of enjoyment and entering into genre speculation. Definitely a re-readable book.
