I have been working on Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski's, a Witcher Book, composed of short stories or novelettes.
The stories are:
- The Bounds of Reason
- A Shard of Ice
- Eternal Flame
- A Little Sacrifice
- The Sword od Destiny
- Something More
The novel includes Yennefer his love interest who he ends up in a competition with a sorcerer for her affection, Shard of Ice, but I have not seen their back story yet, and a golden dragon featured in Bounds of Reason, which is intriguing, with an enjoyable story structure. I’m about half way through the novel, on the forth out of six stories.
And with a bit of research to verify he is not writing in English, I‘m impressed with the quality of translation into English. There are English idioms that seem to be placed perfectly into the dialog giving the stories extra appeal as compared to some stories by other authors, I’ve read translated and are somewhat plodding in comparison.
