About this ebook

Geralt the Witcher—revered and hated—holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in this collection of adventures, the first chapter in Andrzej Sapkowski’s groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games.

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.

I watched the Netflix series first. I had also played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before that. It was great to understand some of the backstory. So many things make more sense now. I can't wait to read the next book. The only issue I had with it was the jumping back and forth in the timelines. It made it a little trickier to follow at first, but eventually worked out well.

The Author has been going after the company that made his stories into highly successful video games that in turn sold more book as well for a long long time after he agreed to a deal, then later only after the game did better than he expected wanted more like the elitist you-know-what that he is. The stories themselves are fine, the lore in all forms is pretty good stuff but the person who created it is a dispicable scumbag that i'd never support with my hard earned money.

How can I get the original book cover back? I mean the Netflix show was good, but I personally prefer the ebook without the Netflix Promo Bookcover. I'm still in the midst of reading the first book of the series and it is very intriguing. It helped knowing some background learning from playing the video game. Worth the read.
