4.5
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.
