About this ebook
The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, holds the fate of the world in his hands in the New York Times bestselling first novel in the Witcher series that inspired the Netflix show and video games.
NAMED ONE OF FORBES' GREATEST BOOK SERIES OF ALL TIME 2024
For more than a hundred years, humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races are fighting once again - killing their own kind and each other.
Into this tumultuous time is born a child of prophecy, Ciri, surviving heiress of a bloody revolution, whose strange abilities can change the world - for good, or for evil...
As the threat of war hangs over the land, Geralt the Witcher must protect Ciri from those who are hunting the child for her destructive power.
But this time, Geralt may have met his match.
Translated by Danusia Stok.

I often could not completely follow and understand what was going on. To me it seemed like important parts where left out, which you had to understand are happening without them being mentioned.

An engaging read, with compelling characters with fascinating interactions. But the book does simply end without a climax, which leaves one feeling as though it's only half of a book. But both this one and the next one together were the price of one book for me, so I guess it doesn't bother me that much.

Mostly excellent, well written and good character interaction, only drawback for me is that it mostly centres on Ciri's backstory which, for those new to the Witcher, is still left a little vague
