The way Sapkowski moved culmination to the end of the novel, when Nimue exclaims: "I had the strangest dream..." is not only a very creative turnover from a classical novella composition, but a very astonishing intro into the main saga. Btw though I would recommend to people to read The Witcher beginning from SoS, it is also a very prudent way of diving into the underworld of Geralt's self-discovery even after already being familiarised with the main saga, as a kind of retrospective narration into Geralt's memories, turning over again into Nimue's tower. The turnover itself is a technique used by poem writers, but The Witcher itself is very lyrical, so that was a really, really master like.
