Edge of the World 2.5/5
Not my favorite. Took me a while to get through and I think the plot was the weakest of the stories so far, esp with the deus ex machina ending
BUT it expanded the Witcher world well/organically and introduced Dandelion, who I think will be important later (he's also a good foil to Geralt).
What's the fairytale?
I like the format of the book a lot, with the stories weaving into the main plot.

A Question of Price 2.75/5
This is my least favorite so far. I'm usually a huge fan of political intrigue, but I think this series does fantasy action/adventure a little better. Big fan of the retelling aspect (a blend of the Frog Prince and Rumplestiltskin) and the female agency (Calanthe = QUEEN, despite being judgmental as heck).

The prev story was A Grain of Truth my b
A Lesser Evil 4.25/5
Its safe to say I love the world of the Witcher. Meeting Geralt through these DARK reimaginings of fairytales is effective; I'm getting a sense of the way he acts and thinks and he's p consistent thusfar.
LE=grim!Snow White and it's perfect. Didn't love that sexual assault was such a big pt of R's character, but SW=the fairest, so I guess it makes sense...

The Lesser Evil 3/5
Very Beauty and The Beast-ly but with a Grimm ending. Actually, apparently each of these stories are vaguely inspired by fairytales so I can actually count this toward Retellathon
I love Roach (the horse). She's such an anxious babe and her and Geralt don't seem like they should fit together, and yet they 100% do.
Thing I hope for: more women who aren't 1 evil monsters or 2 defined by sex w/ G

3.75/5 The Witcher
Very fast paced (duh for a short story), and a solid introduction to Geralt's character, the world, and the sort of creatures he kills/fights.
I have a feeling that the vignettes/stories in this book are gonna be a little bit like episodes of a procedural TV show a la Supernatural, but I already like this way better.
