The Last Wish is a collection of short stories and the first book of the famed Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski. These stories introduce the reader to Geralt and other important, reoccurring characters within the series.

I really enjoyed The Last Wish and gave it a five out of five stars.

The stories do a good job of introducing Geralt as a character by showing us his strengths, weaknesses, and overall moral code for the novels to come. These stories also introduce important reoccurring characters such as Nenneke, Dandelion, and Yennefer.

All but one of the stories have distinct plot lines that don't leave any questions unanswered. The stories themselves felt full with little to no plot holes to speak of.

Overall, I really enjoyed The Last Wish and how it has laid groundwork for the books to come in the series.
