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.

Narrator is hard to hear

His normal voice is hard to hear. So I turn the volume up. And then when he acts out different and particularly higher pitched voices it’s way too loud. Very frustrating because the book itself is great!

Great Listen

Enchanting listen. I did find the hop around around towards the second half of the story a bit hard to keep up with. I'm not usually the type of person that struggles with multi stories, plot breaks, or even twists or time line fast forwards or flash backs but I had to rewind and re-listen twice to figure out where things fit. Other than that it was quite an action packed, plot twisting, heart wrenching -- must read.

6 stars

absolutely amazing and enjoyable from beginning to end Peter Kenny does an amazing job with his delivery

Played the Witcher 3 video game first.

Played the Witcher 3 video game first and thought I would give this audible book a try. I was not disappointed! The book was great and I thought there was great consistency between the platforms. Plus, several of the background stories were explained and now so many more things make sense. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you enjoyed playing Witcher 3, there's a great chance you may also like this book.

Great Intro to the Witcher

The narrator gave a wonderful performance. His accents and voice choices for the various characters brought them to life.
The story itself was great for a introduction to the Witcher series. However, if you prefer a linear story this is not it.

Nice

Well I did not thought it would be enjoyable but the books is quite nice and after watching witcher series And playing the game it's quite a journey to listen to it.

Amazing!

Credit is due to so many sources for this masterpiece. I must first say that the narrator's performance was the best performance I have yet listened to from Audible. Stunning. So much character, and so well timed. The translation of the book was flawless. It feels to me as if it were written in English by someone who has been published many times. of course, the source material from the books author was very good and enlightening. I love this audio book. I adore it's presentation.

Great book.

I very much enjoyed this book. It made me appreciate the video games even more. Now I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books and getting a better understanding of the characters in the game The Withcher 3 Wild Hunt.

Great collection of short stories

Great introduction to Witcher franchise. If you enjoyed the games, you will enjoy this audiobook.

Fantastic!

No better way to be introduced to the witcher of Rivia. Would read again and again
