Good introduction to the series and the loveable cast of characters. A few of the tales drag on a bit but mostly good

A male power fantasy but a great one. I love the adaptation of classic stories to this world. I love the characters. I love how they interact. Jaskier (Dandelion) and Geralt's relationship is so well written. They really sound like old friends and I smile every time they have scenes together.

It's fun. I liked that it was dark and gritty, I'd say it perfectly presented what living in the middle ages must've been like. Minus the ghouls, of course. I was also pleasantly surprised with how complex certain characters were. The book never tried painting anyone as pure evil or good, most were differing shades of gray, and I loved it! Depth! Something different! 

There are some low brow moments, but if you can look past those I think you'll have as good as a time as I did.

This book throws you in at the deep end, immersing you in magic, mystery and monsters. It helped having context from the Netflix show, but I just loved the sarcastic one liners from Geralt. I would note that you should be aware that at some points there are references about sexual objectification of women that were uncomfortable, but overall was an interesting start to the Witcher world.
