Who Will Like It: fans of the show and short story anthologies
Preface: I’ve not watched the Netflix show or played the game
Book Review: I buddy read this with someone who loves the show and the games so I wasn’t sure if she’d overhyped it or not. Turns out she didn’t. I really liked it.
There was some very dude things that were in the story that drove me crazy. I’ll give you one example: When Geralt fights this monster and it turns out to be a young teenage girl…at one point she is naked and even though Geralt has no sexual thoughts about her he does clock her cone shaped boobs…like why? There is no point and it ads nothing to the story.
Minimally this went through 4 people to get published into English = writer, editor, translator, English editor. All 4 of these people worked on those words and still through it was cool to publish. No idea why.
I still really liked it though.

It’s a fun foundation for a fantasy world but it does a good job of establishing likable characters and utilizing narrative tools to build complications in the relationships that speak to larger human existential struggles.
