Geralt the Witcher -- revered and hated -- holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in this collection of adventures in the NYT bestselling series that inspired the blockbuster video games.
Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.
But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.
Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series. The Last Wish short story collection is the perfect introduction to this one of a kind fantasy world.

Легкая, неплохая для коротания вечеров. Пару глав повторяется история из другой книги Сапковского, частично цитируется.
So, I decided I was at a need to read this series thanks to the Netflix show that I recently got into. And it definitely hasn't disappointed on the first book, I love the detail that has gone into it, the wording, the dialogue, the characters such a great first instalment to help you get familiar with who I'm guessing are the more prominent characters in the series. Now I have to hold myself back from just breezing through the series even though I very much want to.
After watching the TV show, I decided I wanted more of the world and not a gamer picked up the books. It was actually really interesting to see the details missed/left out of the show and even the retelling of some fairy tales. I never picked that up in the show. I would say, however, that the translators did this book dirty. It could have been way better imo!
