The Last Wish

Alright, I bloody loved this book!

I got hooked on the TV show and was desperate to get my hands on the book. But I thought I might has the same reaction I have had to a few other books that are based on TV shows, when I had started the show first. Game of Thrones being one of them. Loved the show. Hated the book. So I read a few reviews, read comments about the comparisons and thought I'd give it a go. I am no disappointed.

I am so glad I gave it a chance, and I loved every second of it.

The book is comprised of several short stories, based on the backstory of Geralt, the witcher. It also had one single over arching story “the voice of reason”. Given that it has been translated from Polish to English, I had my doubts about how well it would be written. Surprisingly well to be honest.

Geralt is a great character, and I think Henry Cavill did an amazing job of portraying him.

I can't wait to into the next one, and hopefully find out a bit more about Yennefer's backstory and history.
