The New York Times bestselling series that inspired the international hit video game: The Witcher. For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf.

Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil.

As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is hunted for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all - and the Witcher never accepts defeat.

The Witcher returns in this sequel to The Last Wish, as the inhabitants of his world become embroiled in a state of total war.

3 stars

Glad I stuck with it, the last chapter is better than the rest. I now see what everyone is excited about & am keen to read more/play all the games/lose myself in compilations of Henry Cavill bathtub scenes.

Edit: I thought this was the first book so was pretty confused with the complete lack of character introduction & world exposition from something touted as “book 1”. There are short stories somewhere, I suppose.
