| Sword of Destiny | comment |
The second book in The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski, originally in Polish. For whatever reason, the English translator decided to skip it and jump from the first book straight to the third (despite the small fact that it introduced Ciri, around whom much of the saga revolves) but a translation was finally released in the UK in 2015. The original Polish title was Miecz Przeznaczenia.Like the original book, Sword of Destiny is a collection of six novellas (minus a Framing Device) that continue the trend of merrily deconstructing your favorite fairy tales, though the motif of You Can't Fight Fate comes across even stronger. The Bounds of Reason. A deconstruction of dragon-slaying epics. Our Dragons Are Different is prominent. A Shard of Ice. A Myth Arc-heavy story centering on the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer. There are some references to The Snow Queen. Eternal Flame. A story which plays with the idea of a Doppelgänger. A Little Sacrifice. A deconstruction of The Little Mermaid, with few dashes of The Shadow Over Innsmouth. The Sword of Destiny. Another Myth Arc-heavy episode, which first introduces Ciri. Something More. The grand set up for the Blood of the Elves Saga of the following books. | |

Heroic BSoD: Geralt spends the entirety of "Something More" in this state. His tumultuous relationship with Yennefer never working out, his fear that she died in the battle of Sodden Hill, and his similar belief that his surprise child did not survive the sack of Cintra have caused him to fall into a deep depression, so much so that he doesn't even want to accept whatever payment a kindly merchant offers him for saving his life. It's only when Geralt sees that Ciri is alive and well that he snaps out of it. | |

No Biochemical Barriers: Zig-Zagged. On one hand, mermaids and humans can't interbreed, since female mermaids are deposing roe in the sack placed in the tail of their male mates. Meanwhile dryads not only can, but need to use male mate of other humanoid race to reproduce at all. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: The Bounds of Reason introduces a whole host, taking part in a dragon hunt - a knight who thinks he's in a chivalric tale, a peasant who thinks he's in a folk legend, a wizard who is out to protect endangered species (the dragon), and a sorceress who thinks dragons are a threat to society. This being Witcherworld, none are right. | |

Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off! | |
| Sword of Destiny / int_211c82f5 | comment |
Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off!: In Sword of Destiny, whenever Geralt gets fed up with Ciri's brattiness, he threatens her like this. Which shuts her up quick. While Geralt mostly just threatens to spank Ciri, her grandmother and primary caretaker, queen Calanthe, was mentioned to be a firm believer that sparing the rod means spoiling the child, which is why Ciri tends to take those threats seriously. And of course Geralt himself did it to a corrupt burgher in The Last Wish, albeit under Yennefer's influence. When Mousesack catches up with them, he cheerily informs the child that Calanthe is already preparing her switch, and teases the fact they're going to be hearing Ciri's screams when they get home. Ciri immediately covers her backside in fear. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Sword of Destiny / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Lampshaded in Something More, after a merchant begs Geralt for protection, and Geralt gets an almost lethal wound doing it. While recovering, he thanks the merchant for not letting him to die alone, and the merchant wonders how horrible the world should be, when you are thankful for the other not being a monster. Geralt agrees, but adds that it wouldn't have been the first time it happened to him. The beginning of the first story sets it as one: some citizens are considering taking Geralt's properties, while Geralt himself is fighting the basilisk hunting their own town. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Sword of Destiny / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Townsfolk of The Bounds of Reason give us two examples when they deal with the dragons. The first time, they offer her a fake goat with any kind of poison they could come up with inside, only failing because they didn't have anything strong around and still it took a lot for the dragon to move again, and even then could barely fly to safety. Then facing a golden dragon, who easily survived wizards and skilled, expert warriors, they just zerg-rush him and try throw nets. They are able to pin it down and, were it not for Yennefer's sudden help, they'd have actually killed him. | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: The king in the end of The Bounds of Reason. He wants a nearby kingdom, but local nobles don't want him to marry the princess, so he plans to use an ancient prophecy (saying someone bringing a dragon's head will become king) to his advantage. After spending some time with the mercenaries hired to slain said dragon, however, he decides that, since he has a bigger and better army than the other kingdom, he doesn't need a dragon's head. He also figures that, since the local nobles can't stop him, they'll come up with some way to justify his solution. | |

Not Listening to Me, Are You? | |
| Sword of Destiny / int_799d05eb | comment |
Not Listening to Me, Are You?: Queen Calanthe has a surreal conversation where she threatens Geralt with horrible death, torture, and murder to prevent him from claiming her granddaughter to be a Witcher. Geralt makes it abundantly clear he's not actually interested in claiming her and this does nothing to dissuade Calanthe from continuing her spiel. | |

An Offer You Can't Refuse: The fake inquisitor gives Geralt one of these when he is trying to hire him to find the doppelganger. Geralt doesn't want to because not only is Dudu not evil, there's no actual way to find a man who can shapechange in a city of 30,000 people. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
| Sword of Destiny / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: The mermaid and the prince from the A Little Sacrifice, which puts Geralt into the role of their translator. They are genuinely in love and each asks the other to magically transform into their species, which would solve problems with incompatibile biology. In the end the mermaid becomes a human, so they can be together. And, of course, Geralt and Yennefer. Even if human by birth, they both became something quite different, and in-universe no one would consider Geralt human anymore. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Sword of Destiny / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Eternal Flame might be the most optimistic and violence-free story set in the Witcherverse. It's mostly focused on finding out who, how and why a halfling trader was robbed, instead of a climatic confrontation with some creature. The "monster-of-the-week" is intelligent and compassionate, with no intention of hurting anyone. A Little Sacrifice really tries to sell itself as pessimistic and crap-sack, but in the end remains a light-hearted love story with a Happily Ever After ending (which can't be said about The Little Mermaid it's deconstructing). Becomes Darker and Edgier with Sword of Destiny and Something More. Indeed, Something More is arguably the darkest Witcher story of all time. | |

Chain of Deals: In Eternal Flame, Dudu relies on insider trading to go from twelve stolen horses to over twenty thousand crownsnote Which is a massive fortune in-universe, worth roughtly 50 times more than the horses Dudu started with - and those were already a valuable commodity on Dainty Biberveldt's account in Vimme Vivaldi's bank. This draws the attention of inquisitor Chappelle, who openly suspects that only a doppelganger could get the confidential information before his spy network - because he is secretly a doppelganger himself. | |
