The world has fallen into war. Ciri, the child of prophecy, has vanished. Hunted by friends and foes alike, she has taken on the guise of a petty bandit and lives free for the first time in her life.

But the net around her is closing. Geralt, the Witcher, has assembled a group of allies including Dandelion, Milva, Regis, and Cahir, to rescue her. Both sides of the war have sent brutal mercenaries to hunt her down. Her crimes have made her famous.

There is only one place left to run. The tower of the swallow is waiting. . .

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This is a series you can sink your teeth into."—BuzzFeed News
"The universe of Sapkowski's The Witcher is one of the most detailed and best-explored in modern fantasy, offering endless opportunities for fresh ideas ... Complex character relationships enrich this already complex world; this is the sort of series fantasy fans will cherish."—B&N
"Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling....you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place....In a word, The Witcher delivers."—Hypable
"One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read. Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature ... Sapkowski is a genuine stylist."—Nerds of a Feather
"Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humor. Recommended."—Time
"Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new ... fresh take on genre fantasy."—Foundation on The Last Wish
"A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don't miss it!"—Dreamwatch
"Sapkowski has a phenomenal gift for narrative, inventing sensational events, creating a suggestive mood, and building up the suspense along with a dazzling, slightly cynical sense of humor."—Jacek Sieradzki, Polityka on The Last Wish
"Sapkowski's The Last Wish is a great collection of short stories centered around a witcher, Geralt - a rare sorcerous breed who hunts down the monstrous but is feared by the innocent. With a wondrous mix of Eastern European folklore and myth, beautiful princesses, mischievous demons and where all is not as it seems, The Last Wish is a great read - perfect for dipping into or just reading cover to cover, as I did."—Waterstones
"It is [his] world-weariness combined with his battle-honed powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. Here's hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures."—Edge
"I really, really enjoyed this book ... None of the characters in Sapkowski's world are black or white; they are all shades of grey, including Geralt and the monsters."—The Deckled Edge
"Sapkowski is very good at creating interesting, imaginative characters with unusual levels of depth to them ... The Last Wish is an enjoyable book full of stories both melancholy and comic."—The Wertzone
"This beautifully written character-based story from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski ... a refreshing champion."—The Specusphere

#Audible1 If you haven't heard of the Witcher Saga then you are missing out. This series follows the main character Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher, in his travels across the Continent in search of employment in his trade; that of hunting and slaying dangerous monsters that prey upon humans. This polish masterpiece was written by Andrzej Sapkowski and is the inspiration behind the three internationally acclaimed Witcher Games and the impending Netflix series. The books are heavily steeped in Slavic lore and are offer a startling insight into the human condition making us ask who the true monsters are and who are the ones who need saving. The world doesn't need a hero. It needs a professional. WORTH THE LISTEN/READ

Peter Kenny is a master narrator. I love this series but Book 4 for me, is the best one yet! I’m jumping right into Book 5!

Book 4 is the best so far!

Great!

The Good
This book focuses on Ciri. At first, I worried that the book was going to focus on Geralt and his motley crew some more as early scenes in the book did focus on them and seemed to be revising old themes and storylines. The change to Ciri’s story was refreshing. Her storyline was fast paced and exiting.

The ending of the book was a wild ride, I didn’t expect what happened and it was thrilling to listen to. It does end on a cliff hanger, but the scene prior to the ending will vividly live in my memory for a long time.
In this book, Bonhart is a villain that could inspire terror and he was an example of great character work.

As usual Peter Kenny was fantastic.

The Bad
In this book I didn’t enjoy when the story focused on Geralt and company, as I found it a little boring. Furthermore, whenever the story focused on Yennifer I was very bored.

Sapkowski experimented with multiple perspectives in this book. Sometimes we learn about Ciri’s story from her perspective, sometimes from people following her. He did the same with Geralt’s story, including putting some of Dandelion’s perspective in first person. At times it worked, and other times I felt it fell flat.

Bonhart may have been a great villain, but Rience was the opposite. I couldn’t stand him and felt that he was more cartoonish than a real threat.

This next complaint could be chalked up to poor translation, but since David French’s translations have felt so accurate and true to Sapkowski’s intention, I’m not sure. There was a line that referenced “The Final Solution to the Witcher Problem,” and it felt too close to the famous Nazi euphemism; it took me right out of the story. I feel that line was in bad taste.

There was one thing that bothered me about Peter Kenny’s narrations, in the first two or three books he pronounced Dandelion’s name like the yellow weed found throughout southwestern Ontario: dandelion. Then he switched his pronunciation of his name in later books. However, in this book he went back to using his original pronunciation.

It Drags at Times, but overall it’s still Great
