Book Review of The Last Wish: Introducing The Witcher (aka Ostatnie Zyczenie) (Last Wish, Prequel)

reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


Definitely a mass market paperback. The original stories of Geralt de Rivia were written in Polish and it feels like the story has lost something in the translation. There is a slightly strange story progression as each chapter is a short story wrapped up into a larger whole that really just ends up being another short story that was chopped into pieces and used to provide some continuity to the tales. If you love fantasy you'll find some redeeming qualities as it takes a very familiar D&D flavor and twists the black and white tones of those stories into shades of grey.
