After finishing the third season of Witcher on Netflix I decided to read the stories that inspired the series. I’d seen how bad the story could be written, now I wanted to see how well it was originally written. Thank you Netflix for inspiring me to read a well crafted, entertains story so different from what I watched.

This book was great!

Pleasantly surprised by the book’s pace

This book is the original and the Netflix show is an adaptation. However, the show does a great job of complimenting this book beautifully! The book is a tour de force of Geralt’s adventures that you can totally imagine in high def thanks to the show. Some of the adventures in the book should have been more faithfully adapted in the show like the scene with the Djinn. But live-action is constrained by budgets and technical/effects/CGI challenges—I get that. That’s why I am very pleased to go deeper into the world of The Witcher with these books while I watch the show… Time for ‘Sword of Destiny’!

Good read. Very entertaining

I like the short story format. A fun read that has me wanting more!

I watched the movie and it was amazing 🤩

Fast paced when it needed to be. Slowed down to take in the scenery and really make the reader feel like an eye witness to this fantastic story.

Typical Witcher story if you already know about Geralt. Just a great character with good sun characters. Well written and doesn’t drag on with two chapters describing the decor of a ballroom or some other non sense.

Very enjoyable.
