A review by cloneknight
The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

On second read it became a bit more obvious that "The Voice of Reason" was added later on to give some connective tissue to an otherwise pretty episodic bundle of short stories, but it all leads to a conclusion that ties a neat bow around said bundle. I stand with my original point: The Last Wish is the ideal introduction to the Witcher-universe.
