Item description from the seller

The Last Wish Introducing The Witcher by SAPKOWSKI ANDRZEJ

The Last Wish is a collection of short stories set before Shapkowski’s Witcher series. The stories follow Geralt, who is part of a race of mutant monster hunters called witchers. Ironically, people believe that witchers are monsters too, and Geralt has spent his life scorned by the world. He travels his world hunting monsters for money and has learned not to expect gratitude. Despite Geralt’s brutal career, he stands as a moral pillar in a world full of corruption. He abides by strict morals of his own creation that guide him as he travels in search of monsters.

Rating and Recommendation

Overall I rate this story 4 out of 5. It was a great introduction to the characters filled with action and intrigue. My only criticism of The Last Wish is that it is just an introduction. The stories made me want to read more but did not complete the full arc of a story on their own. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes fantasy and/or great character development.
