"Can I believe you refused him, as you have me?"
"You can"
"Why?"
"Because I don't believe in a lesser evil."

I'm going in to The Witcher series fresh with no prior knowledge of the books or video games. I enjoyed the book, each story seemed to provide some background to Geralt or his purpose. Not all short stories followed the same routine of: arrive in town, find monster, slay monster, recover, repeat; which was a nice change.

I'm intrigued enough in the premise that I will keep reading the series.
