“He turned again, in the opposite direction, deflected the blade flying toward his temple, made a swift feint and attacked.”
I can understand
why this series morphed into a computer game. Reading it was just like playing
a great fantasy RPG with plenty of skirmishes to keep things fresh. The short
stories are a constant source of action and feature all manner of scary
beasties from vampires to djinns, to anything and everything in between.
Geralt of Rivia is a witcher, prepared to take on any
monstrous foe. Killing is not his only comfort, sometimes he even gets the
girl. If you want some escapism that is easy to digest, grab yourself a copy of
The Last Wish.
There will be
blood, there will be violence, there will be magic – you have been warned.
Things escalate at an alarming pace in Geralt’s world, where whole towns can
come crashing down as a result of a strange fishing incident. You might even
encounter an elf.
5 out of 5
fantastical foes fight fair.
