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

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.

Decent prequel

Love the naration as usual. PK does a great job with every voice. The story is pretty good.

An excellent prequel

Peter Kenny once again does an amazing performance of Sapkowski’s clever storytelling. I love how this story starts with a briefly mentioned moment from the earlier books that clearly was a defining moment for Geralt. There’s a lot of explaining why Geralt is how he is, wrapped in exciting plots and artful, subtle world building.
A real treat for fans of the series.

sapkowskis writing style

I love this world of the witcher and the way he writes the adventures within it! Id buy a new witcher book a week if it was possible.
