5.0

The Witcher is like Shrek-adjacent. The show is… kind of awful, and it's so nice to read the stories and see the original inspiration that wasn't in The Wild Hunt. The show deprives its audiences of all the humour and wit of the books - Geralt is funny, he talks a lot - he talks to himself and his horse. He isn't always sour and angry. He's tender for Yen and they have a very singular relationship.


What to even say. I hate reviewing books. AAAAHHHH

As a Polish person, I felt ashamed that it took me this long to read this series. Now that I've started I can see why it's considered one of the best. It's written so well. The characters despite their quirks and flaws are loveable and you get to love them so quickly. And the spin it takes on some of the famous tales is so clever for its time. Can't wait to read the next one and see where it takes it.
