The Last Wish - The Witcher (Paperback)

Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge of fantasy, intellectual discouse and dry humour. Recommended Character interplay is complex, unsentimental and anchored in brutal shared history Delightfully dry humour, mythology brimming with radical creatures and a group of interesting characters, The Last Wish is a great introduction to this universe Sapkowski has a confident and rich voice which permeates the prose and remains post-translation. I'd recommend this to any fan of Heroic or Dark fiction One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new . . . [a] fresh take on genre fantasy There's lots of imagination on show, the writing has a strong voice, and the Witcher is an entertaining character Refreshing and a lot of fun to read Captivating, often nerve-wracking, and truthfully . . . rip-roaring fun
