Review
"The universe of Sapkowski's The Witcher is one of the most detailed and best-explored in modern fantasy, offering endless opportunities for fresh ideas ... Complex character relationships enrich this already complex world; this is the sort of series fantasy fans will cherish."―B&N on Tower of Swallows"One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read. Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature ... Sapkowski is a genuine stylist."―Nerds of a Feather on Baptism of Fire"Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humor. Recommended."―Time on Blood of Elves"Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new ... fresh take on genre fantasy."―Foundation on The Last Wish"A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don't miss it!"― p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Calibri; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} Fantasy Book Review on Blood of Elves"Sapkowski has a phenomenal gift for narrative, inventing sensational events, creating a suggestive mood, and building up the suspense along with a dazzling, slightly cynical sense of humor."―Jacek Sieradzki, Polityka on The Last Wish"Sapkowski's The Last Wish is a great collection of short stories centered around a witcher, Geralt - a rare sorcerous breed who hunts down the monstrous but is feared by the innocent. With a wondrous mix of Eastern European folklore and myth, beautiful princesses, mischievous demons and where all is not as it seems, The Last Wish is a great read - perfect for dipping into or just reading cover to cover, as I did."―Waterstones on The Last Wish"It is [his] world-weariness combined with his battle-honed powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. Here's hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures."―Edge on The Last Wish"I really, really enjoyed this book ... None of the characters in Sapkowski's world are black or white; they are all shades of grey, including Geralt and the monsters."―The Deckled Edge on The Last Wish"Sapkowski is very good at creating interesting, imaginative characters with unusual levels of depth to them ... The Last Wish is an enjoyable book full of stories both melancholy and comic."―The Wertzone on The Last Wish

This stand-alone novel has a fair bit of positive elements to combat the negatives. Jumping back into the world of The Witcher is always a pleasure. The world is rich with environments and characters that allows full immersion for the reader. Geralt is back at the forefront of focus with more character development. Considering this is a 'prequel' to the saga proper, it's good to see this enhance Geralt's presence in the full story.The novel itself does take a bit of time to pick up but comes into its pace. It reads like an extended short story. This is not a detriment. It is simply an observation based on the two collections of short stories available. The intrigue is thick, the action is present (not overbearing), the characters are interesting, and the combination of all works well.One of the main issues with this stand-alone is that it is a prequel. We know there is more to come. Any peril that befalls Geralt, while very interesting, becomes moot considering the saga proper has not even yet begun. The reader, unless this is the first book they read, will know that Geralt will be okay. This should be one thing that every reader should just accept before going into the read. This may make the read dull for some readers who cannot accept this, but others will have no issue.Overall, the novel is a fine addition to the full story. The people, events, and environment make the read well worth the effort. There is some fanfare for the long-time fans as some characters come back for brief periods to add to what the reader should already know. For new readers, they get a chance to acquaint themswlves with how the world of The Witcher works. It's not an essential read, but it is an excellent read.
I enjoyed this book a great deal.It occurs time-wise after the Witcher meets Yennefer, but before the events in the Circi stories.Without giving too much way (spoilers below), this book feels closer to the original Polish versions of the stories than previous English versions. The stories have an "adult" feel to them and are less "politically correct." The characters and their stories feel more natural and less focused and filtered through a current political filter.In the first town that Gerault comes to, he almost passes out in room inhabited by extreme farting, loud mouthed women guards. Some bathroom humor ensues, and eventually there is a scuffle with the amazons.There are at least two love interests in the book (not including remembrances of Yennefer).We get to explore a bit more of the world, which is fun, and the Witcher and his dwarven companion give us a bit more philosophy in a good natured, enjoyable way.We also find out a good bit about the mages and where some of the terrors in the countryside *actually* come from.All in all, a good book for a mature reader.** Spoilers Follow **The Witcher has his swords stolen, and then he is framed by the mages and physically exploited by a female mage (he doesn't seem to mind much).Dandelion actually has a pivotal role in this book and saves Gerault's bacon on several occasions.The story takes us from some simple monster hunting to the Witcher's framing to some shady criminals to some even shadier mages who need the Witcher to "eliminate" one of their own gone rogue.The Witcher barely escapes with his life after learning that *gasp* most of the creatures that he has been fighting over the years were actually *created* by the mages guild. (Actually that *was* a shocker for this reader.)After a couple of additional complications, including the introduction of a fox-woman, child stealing, shapeshifter, Gerault is reunited with his swords.It is a fun romp, and I enjoyed the snarky banter and anti-hero aspects of the Witcher even more in this book than previous ones.My take is that this collection is closer to the mother tongue than the previous versions and thus has a better, more natural flow to it. I've mentioned it a couple of times because it becomes obvious as you read the stories.**PC warning** One caveat, if you are easily offended, or you have very specific views about who is *allowed* to be portrayed as a villain then you might not like this book. **PC warning off**
It was ok. Brought some characters we had only heard of prior to this book in, but I do wish Andrzej Sapkowski would write in a more linear fashion. Sometimes it can get tough to keep up back and forth past, present, future. This is the past compared to the last book, with the epilogue being in the future beyond the last book.
It is like one of the stories from the first book "the last wish", just longer. I really like it because the monsters and characters you get to know about are interesting. After "blood of elves" the main story gets too political and is less about the world/monsters/creatures/ and their lore and more about Ciri/Politics/Battles. It is really nice to go back to monsters and adventures with geralt, really nice story about the witcher's proffession.I recommend it for any "the witcher" fan.
I will take any opportunity to jump back into the world of the Witcher. Read all the books, played all the games, and I have some cool Witcher collectables. As much as it pains me to say it, this is the weakest Witcher book I have read. Jumps around a lot, the story is weak, and it feels very rushed. It is worth the read if you are a diehard fan who has read and done everything else Witcher themed. I worry that this book might discourage new Witcher fans from reading the wonderful Witcher Saga.
Season of Storms is essentially a stand-alone work, though you might find it less interesting if you haven't read the other books in the Witcher series (The Last Witch through The Lady of the Lake).To me, Season of Storms was a bit of a let-down. It didn't enrich my appreciation for the series, nor did it give me a significantly deeper understanding of Sapkowski's main characters. We're offered a few interesting glimpses of Dandelion--specifically his less-than-flattering opinion of Geralt--but I wish there were more moments like that.That said, Season of Storms is just as well-written and engaging as the rest of the series, so if you've read the first seven novels and find yourself hankering for more, this should prove satisfying.
