If you want to get into this universe before the upcoming series in Amazon Prime: start here! These stories get better as you move through the book. Great intro to the world of the Witcher.

Foreword: I was a fan of “The Witcher” series of video games prior to starting the book series, so I was already invested as a fan of the series as a whole. That being said, I can say that even people new to the series can really enjoy “The Last Wish”. An introduction to Geralt of Rivia, Witcher, Monster Hunter, the book is split up into a series of stories set in a dark fantasy setting, where monsters plague the countryside. Action, witty humor, and a unique take on the job of monster hunter that reads less of a classical hero and more of Roaming Exterminator for Hire, will leave you wanting more! Highly recommend it!

No se parece tanto a la serie jaja.
Me gustó mucho y claro que seguiré leyendo los demás libros.
Esos párrafos y frases estupendas me dejaron con ganas de más.

I knew I’d love The Witcher – but I had no idea quite how much. The Last Wish was so entertaining, playing with fairy tales and fantasy conventions so much less seriously than I’d expected. Parts are a little dated now, but not egregiously so, at least not in this first novel. I’m so excited to read the rest of the series.
