I found the stories in The Last Wish more consistent but two or three of my favourites are from this entry. If you've played The Witcher computer games I imagine you a familiar with these characters, the sort of missions set and the monsters the Witcher is assigned to eradicate, and how beautiful and vast this created world is. Geralt's friend and lady loving bard Dandelion, his mysterious sorceress love interest Yennefer and a potential child of destiny called Ciri. Sword of Destiny features a handful of main characters from the series who become more fleshed out as there presence recurs. It was solely about a certain adventure at one end of the world and then another a thousand miles away. In the first book, apart from a couple of brief interludes, there were no recurring characters. He travels around the world to where his peculiar killing and magic techniques are needed to tackle a problem and individuals will hire him. The Last Wish featured mostly isolated stories with the Witcher tackling a certain monstrosity for a set payment. Although you can start the series with Blood of Elves which is where the full-length novels commence, I can't recommend enough that even though a handful of these short stories are hit-and-miss, that they will add considerable depth to the future narrative arcs.
Much like The Last Wish before, Sword of Destiny is a collection of short stories following a talented witcher called Geralt of Rivia.
