@HumanAnor
"Something end..." isn't canon novel. It's only joke writed by Andrzej Sapkowski.

True, but it's still one of the best part he shouldn't miss that story.

We have (czech version of witcher) this short-story at the end of Sword of destiny. There is just slightly hinted something from the end of saga, but not some big spoilers and "Road with no return" is the first story in the beginning of "The Last wish".

So if you like to know.. (cz ver. right order)

Spoiler
