Crossroads of Ravens

De: Andrzej Sapkowski

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series is a global phenomenon with over thirty million copies sold and translated into over forty languages worldwide. Crossroads of Ravens is a new standalone novel following fantasy's most beloved monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, on his first steps towards becoming a legend.

“A wonderful insight into the beginnings of one of fantasy's most beloved and iconic characters, Geralt of Rivia. Immersive, exciting, and emotional. Crossroads of Ravens is not to be missed.” – John Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author

Witchers are not born. They are made.

Before he was the White Wolf or the Butcher of Blaviken, Geralt of Rivia was simply a fresh graduate of Kaer Morhen, stepping into a world that neither understands nor welcomes his kind.

And when an act of naïve heroism goes gravely wrong, Geralt is only saved from the noose by Preston Holt, a grizzled witcher with a buried past and an agenda of his own.

Under Holt’s guiding hand, Geralt begins to learn what it truly means to walk the Path – to protect a world that fears him, and to survive in it on his own terms. But as the line between right and wrong begins to blur, Geralt must decide to become the monster everyone expects, or something else entirely.

This is the story of how legends are made – and what they cost.

“Geralt is one of the great characters in all of fantasy. Whether you're coming from the games, TV show, or are simply new to the Witcher universe - these books are absolutely worth the read.” – James Islington, author of The Will of the Many

I was skeptical but wow he did it again

I’m a huge fan of the original book series, specifically the short stories and Season of Storms. I feel like the later books kinda fell off, so I was a bit skeptical at this newest one being a good read but I was pleasantly surprised.

If you are new to The Witcher, don’t start here. Even though it’s chronologically the first installment I would start with The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. This book just hits so much harder when you know what happens later. You want to be hit full force with the doomed narrative.

I devoured this in two days and I’m probably going to re-read it later. No notes. Maybe just the emotional whiplash Peter Kenny’s young Geralt voice had on me. I couldn’t help but think “who is this? where’s Geralt?” at the beginning.

Another Great Addition to The Witcher Series

Enjoyable early exploits of Geralt, with some backstory that helped make him the Witcher he came to be. Great story from Sapkowski, and great audiobook rendition.

great book

worth every second, cant wait to hear how the rest of the story goes

A welcome edition to the Witcher book series, but not as compelling as other entries.

Sapkowski’s gift for compelling narrative fall slightly flat in this volume, likely due to length. Where his stories are usually cleverly circular, self referential and introspective, this work doesn’t quite meet that lofty standard. I very much enjoyed a crossroad of ravens, but wish it was longer and had fewer loose ends.

young Gerelt!

I thought the story was great. enjoyed listening to geralt's beginnings. wish it was a little bit longer though.

The story left me fully satisfied.

Glad to see the gang back together. Great story, beautiful translation, perfect performance. Sapkowski, French, and Kenny are the perfect team!

A wonderful prequel!

Like all the other titles in the Witcher series, this one does not disappoint! This early glimpse into the witchers life is very entertaining and informative.

Early Years Lore

A good addition to the Witcher world. I liked seeing young Geralt and getting more Witcher lore.

The Witcher content I NEED

The extra lore and content this book gives Witcher fans is the main reason I recommend this book to others! Overall, this is just another Witcher masterpiece!!

Loved it!

Just as great as the other Witcher books. Loved every minute. Sapkowski is still at his best and the narrator is incredible.
