The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher

if I could give 3.5 stars, I would. Don't get me wrong, I'm thoroughly enjoying the series and I love the characters and stories, but if I had no prior knowledge of the witcher I would probably be pretty confused with this first book. I also think the English translation doesn't let the work shine, and a lot of charm is perhaps lost in that, along with the page setup and punctuation - it doesn't read like your typical novel written in native English. 3.5/5 - Enjoyed it, plan on reading them all and replaying the trilogy. Translation bad, story confusing and written chaoticly, but enjoyable

As much as I would like to give this book a higher rating, it's vulgar and too lewd for good reading. Neither of those is necessary but have been added for audience 'enjoyment.' For the writing itself, it flows well and is well written. The Author doesn't waste time talking about the world excessively and does leave some things to be figured out yourself, which are both great qualities in a writer.

The Last Wish is a captivating introduction to the world of The Witcher. The short stories are filled with intriguing characters and unexpected plot twists. Geralt, the Witcher, is a complex and fascinating protagonist, and his adventures are both thrilling and thought-provoking. While some of the stories might feel a bit disconnected, overall, the collection is a solid start to a fantastic series.
