The Witcher: The Last Wish

Dive into the epic world of The Witcher: The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. Magic, monsters, and destiny await in this must-read fantasy adventure!

The Witcher: The Last Wish

Author: Andrzej Sapkowski

Geralt of Rivia, the white-haired monster hunter, roams a dark fantasy world, slaying beasts for coin. Sapkowski’s collection of interconnected tales weaves a tapestry of moral ambiguity, where monsters aren’t always evil and humans often prove the real villains. With dry wit and unexpected twists, Geralt navigates political intrigue and personal demons, his choices echoing through a richly imagined world. I found myself captivated by the gritty realism and complex characters, each story leaving me hungry for more of the Witcher’s adventures.

"Evil is evil, Stregobor," said the witcher seriously as he got up. "Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all."
