Geralt is a Witcher: guardian of the innocent; protector of those in need; a defender in dark times against some of the most frightening creatures of myth and legend.

His task now is to protect Ciri. A child of prophecy, she will have the power to change the world for good or for ill—but only if she lives to use it.

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!"—Fantasy Book Review
"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

excellent sequel to the gripping first novel in the series. the narrator deserves awards and if I had one wish, it would be for the very same man to do the entire wheel of time series as the current one available is incredibly dry and boring. I love the series but cringed even at the sample strip from any of the Audio books.

incredible.

Environ 2/5 des traductions des personnages n’étaient pas propice a la compréhension. Soit un accent trop fort, soit ils crient.
Bien en général, mais au moins 1/5 de ce qu’il disait que je ne comprennais pas super. Toutefois, les personnages principaux ont été joués avec brio

High pic in traduction

This book was fantastic. The pacing was amazing, the character development was wonderful, the twists were excellent. This is my favourite book in the series so far. One reason I believe this was such an improvement on the previous books is that the character of Ciri really shone. I grew attached to her and was worried about her at different points in the book. This, too me, is the sign of a great writer.

This novel was so exciting to listen to, and I’m really looking forward to starting the next book.

I can think of only one criticism of this book. There is a chapter where woman after woman throw themselves at Geralt, it was very over the top and not that funny. However, the rest of the book was so excellent that this chapter didn’t diminish my overall rating of the book.

As usual Peter Kenny was fantastic.

Thrilling

#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

the era of the sword and axe is nigh....

So in my opinion this is definitely better than Blood of Elves. it's kind of more so like a rollercoaster worldwide like it's low Peaks and then high peaks. I definitely loved the continuous world-building the situations are the characters got in and the ever considering plot and the different strategies that are going on that we are also witnessing along with Geralt. The narrator does a great job and keeps the audiobook very entertaining and doesn't make it seem as if its just droning on.

Builds up.

Great continuation of the story. Revolves more around ciri but starts with Geralt. I recommend this book if you liked the previous entry

Contempt at it's best.
