adventurous dark fast-paced

As a Witcher 3 videogame fan, I needed to read this book.

I also watched the show. Netflix season 2 was a decent adaptation to the novel. However the inner monologues and expositions were taken out. The anthology style writing made the show feel disjointed.

The books after all, are better.

I do have thoughts about the Witcher's world. Its magic and monsters cause social injustices that even Geralt isn't immune from. He makes mistakes. Its a grimdark world full of evils, yet we still feel certain joy because Geralt tries to be a better man.

I suppose that itself is an answer to a terrible world. To try to do better without being stupidly chivalrous.

He promised me a whole new universe, but in truth, he has given me much more.
I'm very picky and a true book critique when it comes to combat scenes. In The Last Wish, the way combat was described is what captivated me. The scenes are fluid, almost as if they were dancing.
I love Geralt's sarcasm and cynic view on everything. Absolutely everything. I could listen to him talk all day, if I had the possibility.
Also, I need more of her.
