The dust jacket of this hardcover proclaims the author a European superstar. I’m not certain he would’ve achieved his super-stardom if he originally published in North America. I wasn’t terribly impressed by this book. It’s supposedly a novel, but in reality, it’s a collection of short stories unite...

I read the German translation. It was like Noir Fantasy with some slapstick dialogs. Can't wait to read the sequels.

A rather interesting series of stories based on fairy tales. Featuring a Witcher, Geralt, who hunts baneful entities, it tales the story of how he goes about picking his battles wisely. Sometimes that which is fair is foul and that which is foul is fair. I did enjoy these stories, the linking pie...

I enjoyed this book quite a lot and I'm giving it 3.5 stars technically. As far as the actual last wish..I may have to reread that unless someone wants to point me in the right direction? I have several guess but I'm still unsure exactly what it was ....

I both liked this book, and didn't like it at the same time. I feel like this novel, along with it's relatively high ratings and relative popularity, are an example of why I feel like maybe I should start trying to write the stories I have in my head and turn them into novels. Maybe it's because it'...

This had a very interesting setup to it. Because it was originally a bunch of short stories which were put together with a frame story to go in between. So in a sense each short story is like a flashback while the frame story is present time. For me it was a little hard to get into this book beca...

At present, I'm working my way through The Witcher 2 video game which is probably the main reason why I've finally decided to tackle The Last Wish, which has been sitting in my to-read list for almost two years. I am in love with the game so far, and curiosity naturally led me to the books that insp...

This is a collection of short stories set in a fantasy world that feels like it could be any other. The computer game ‘The Witcher’ is in fact based on these books. I haven’t played that game because it won’t run on my computer, but it does feel remarkably similar to another popular fantasy role-pla...

Really happy I finally got to read this one. I really enjoyed how one chapter took place in the past, describing a past adventure, and the next one was in the present. It essentially read like a collections of stories, all staring the Witcher. My only issue was the last few chapters, when our protag...

I liked this one cos it was different from fantasy that I usually read. it was all about Geralt's different adventures. So there were a bunch of loosely attached stories and it worked well.So what to we have then? Geralt, a witcher who hunts vampires, dragons and every evil thing there is. He does h...
