A fantastic introduction to the Witcher series.

The book follows Geralt of Rivia as he performs various jobs as a Witcher. During his missions we are introduced to a whole host of characters who are incredibly interesting. Most of the stories feel like groundwork which is being laid for something bigger later on in the series, but that’s not to say that they were boring in the least. The characters were vibrant, the stories interesting, throwing out a few twists and turned, and the world itself is feels immense and alive.

Clearly a lot of work has been put into fleshing out this world, the various factions and creatures that inhabit it. The world itself is alive, and you can feel it breathing as you turn the page. There are so many mysteries to the world and I can’t wait to unravel them, I will definitely be reading far more of this series.

I read the whole book in one day and I have no regrets.
