Narrative During Books The Last Wish (The Witcher #0.5)
Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin. And a cold-blooded killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good... and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth. A collection of short stories introducing Geralt of Rivia, to be followed by the first novel in the actual series, The Blood of Elves. Note that, while The Last Wish was published after The Sword of Destiny, the stories contained in The Last Wish take place first chronologically, and many of the individual stories were published before The Sword of Destiny.Rating Regarding Books The Last Wish (The Witcher #0.5)

I'm not one for "as seen in the movie..." or tie-in type books, so I was initially dubious about reading The Last Wish until I learned it was the inspiration for the video game. The Last Wish reads like an adult fairy-tale; not because of graphic sex or violence, but because of the melancholy and cynicism that permeate the characters. It follows the story of Geralt, a man who has become 'something more' than a man through training as a witcher.

I am in love with the game so far, and curiosity naturally led me to the books that inspired it.The book collects seven short stories in a "frame" format, so we have an overarching frame story and six more that are told in a flashback or a memory, each forming a story of its own. Not
Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.Before picking up The Last Wish, I was briefed by my friends on what to expect, prepared to experience a pulp fiction story similar to Robert E. Howards Conan and Michael Moorcocks Elric, so I was not surprised to find this novel a frame tale collecting a series of unrelated short stories. Certainly, I could see that there was an overarching plot right under the surface, but the fascinating thing about this volume was the unique spin on old fairy tales, the
I could not resist starting the series. I need something to do with my time until season 2 of the Witcher comes out.
I want to watch the Witcher series so badly but I'm ridiculously strict with myself when it comes to not reading the book before the Tv show/movie. I either read the book first.... Or... I just don't watch it. My book-to-movie adaptation tbr is a mile long. Do I even make sense? Absolutely not. Send help
So Ive just seen theyre making a Netflix show out of this series. I cant believe Id never heard of it before, this sounds awesome!
i accidentally watched the entire first season of the witcher on netflix friday night and now i have a new obsession???i wish i had decided to wait to watch the show until after i read this, because i think i would have gotten so much more out of it, but im in that early obsessive stage where i dont really care. i just want everything having to do with this world and these characters. ive never played a video game in my life, but i think i may start or maybe i will stay in my lane and just
