"The Voice of Reason 3" & "The Lesser Evil"

Another Witcher story, another perfect volley of curveballs and provocations. Sapkowski is an absolute wizard, flipping his monster hunting formula on its head and hammering us with fascinating, complex character drama. Class commentaries abound, "destiny" is weaponized and debated, and everyone's role is reversed at least a few times. These stories have all been barnburners, and perfectly tailored for conversation - he writes fantasy stories that feels a lot like thought experiments. We get to talk about a kikimora and the problem of evil, in the very same episode!
