The Witcher Saga

Mickeroo

Hi guys.

I'm just after completing the witcher games and I was wondering does anyone know if the books are worth a read?

I loved the universe as it was depicted in the games.

The guy's got some fantastic lore and background but i couldn't get past halfways in the 2nd book.

You could give one a try to see for yourself.Different strokes and all that.But this was my opinion in 2009 when I read "The Last Wish"..

This Guy has a huge following at home in Poland ,and around the world now that his books are been translated into English. As a big fantasy fan I was looking forward to reading something new by a new author. Also having read the numerous reviews praising his work I thought I was in for a treat. To tell the truth I found it tough going and his type of story telling a bit dated. The main character Geralt I liked, I just got bored with all the folksy monsters and fairytale characters. Maybe in the future I will try another of his books but I won’t be in a hurry.
