It’s cool to see Geralt’s origin story getting some love, especially with a focus on his younger, less jaded self—feels like a great way to reconnect with what made him such a compelling character in the first place. And with Witcher 4 still cooking, this book is like a little lore snack to tide us over while we wait for the main course.
