Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless hunter. Yet he is no ordinary killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

Critic reviews

"This is a series you can sink your teeth into."—BuzzFeed News

"Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling....you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place....In a word, The Witcher delivers."—Hypable

Interesting concept, but

Since I don't like soap operas, I enjoyed parts of these short stories! However, some were better than others, all most were somewhat confusing!

Then it made more sense after I discovered that the book was written in a different language and was translated. That maybe why it sounded confusing to me!

to the max

it was awesome to the max, and very gewd for my body and ears and stuff

Was expecting one continuous story

Really fun stories, but i wasn't expecting multiple short stories. Overall i really enjoyed it but would have preferred one long story with more character development.

Memorable stories and characters.

If you came here like me to get more background on the great video game series, I implore you to listen to these books. The book is told through the combination of an overarching story along with a few isolated incidents that keep the pacing and content interesting. You'll love all of the voices the narrator uses along with his own interpretation of what the characters manors would be like. It was truly fun to place the characters I though I already knew, into entirely new and mystical experiences.

A bit too immersive

I played the 3rd video game and thought I would get the audio book and start listening to it near the end of the weekend... that was a huge mistake. It was a bit too immersive and I had trouble concentrating at work the next day as I really wanted to finish it :). It is a great book and the voice acting was very entertaining!
