Description In Pursuance Of Books The Last Wish (The Witcher #0.5)

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin. And a cold-blooded 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. A collection of short stories introducing Geralt of Rivia, to be followed by the first novel in the actual series, The Blood of Elves. Note that, while The Last Wish was published after The Sword of Destiny, the stories contained in The Last Wish take place first chronologically, and many of the individual stories were published before The Sword of Destiny.

Evaluation Regarding Books The Last Wish (The Witcher #0.5)

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.Before picking up The Last Wish, I was briefed by my friends on what to expect, prepared to experience a pulp fiction story similar to Robert E. Howards Conan and Michael Moorcocks Elric, so I was not surprised to find this novel a frame tale collecting a series of unrelated short stories. Certainly, I could see that there was an overarching plot right under the surface, but the fascinating thing about this volume was the unique spin on old fairy tales, the

I could not resist starting the series. I need something to do with my time until season 2 of the Witcher comes out.

So, this is a collection of short stories loosely threaded around a stay by our point-of-view character, the eponymous witcher, at a temple while recuperating from his latest fight.The stories are mostly (all?) retellings of / inspired by well known fairy stories, like Beauty and the Beast. They share a slightly fairy tale vibe too. It's a world where destiny is a real force and unlikely promises about first born children etc made to strangers carry their own weight both magically and in popular

I tried to make this short. I really did. I failed. I really did.➽ One thing before we begin this thing: I had never heard of this book/series/author until my Canadian Nemesis (aka Evgeny the Sometimes Wise One) read it/it/him. And given that 1/The Sometimes Wise One's book taste is not entirely despicable (view spoiler)[unlike that of most Little Barnacles of my acquaintance (hide spoiler)] and that 2/ The Sometimes Wise One seemed inclined to think I might not entirely not enjoy this book were

Actual rating: 4.5 🌟'sI don't read a lot of fantasy, but I watched the Netflix show and knew immediately that I had to pick up the books it's based on. I just wanted to learn more about the characters, because I fell in love with all of them. And well, what can I say...I got exactly what I wanted! I'm always a bit cautious when I pick up a Fantasy novel, because I'm worried the writing style and world building will overwhelm me. So I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was for me to just let

I had tried reading this book before, but DNFed it almost immediately, because it opened with this gem:He did not move, did not stir. The girl flitted closer, threw off her mantle and slowly, hesitantly, rested her knee on the edge of the large bed. He observed her through lowered lashes, still not betraying his wakefulness. The girl carefully climbed onto the bedclothes, and onto him, wrapping her thighs around him. Leaning forward on straining arms, she brushed his face with hair which smelled

People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live. It is my personal belief that when it comes to myths nobody
