While this technique is rarely used, I can appreciate how each story has a purpose in advancing the main character's overall story. Actions in one story may influence the characters in another, so there is something deeper here than just a collection of short stories. Told in a somewhat chronological manner, these bite-size stories often carry over and blend into each other in a way that feels natural. Still, these stories are solid and help flesh out the world where humans and creatures live together, rarely in harmony.
It’s no wonder the TV series felt a little disjointed, as it had a series of short stories that were loosely connected via Geralt to work with. The first book in the series, The Last Wish introduces the titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, as he goes about his job ridding the world of dangerous supernatural creatures. Those of us who have seen Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher will find this collection of short stories quite familiar.
