My Boyfriend is a huge Witcher fan, and so we read this together aloud as a sort of bed-time story. so, i had a general idea about the characters and lore going into this.
I really enjoyed the dynamic of Geralt and Dandelion, I did not expect to like the humor as much as I did. The story is told in a series of time-jumping short stories, with a small narrative throughout that connect everything. I think without any prior knowledge of the series, it could be a little confusing to jump in, but Sapkowski is pretty good at creating an immersive world that is easy to get lost in.
my one critique is a bit silly, but we felt like he mentions female characters breasts like A LOT. to the point where every time a female character is introduced, you can expect to hear about them. it honestly became a bit of a meme throughout our reading, but overall i don’t think the female characters are poorly written or one-note. I do hope that he continues to improve as the series goes on though!

The Witcher series was recommended to me by a friend. I had heard of the game but didn't know it was a book series as well. I went into this not knowing what to expect, as epic fantasy is a hit or miss. So I am so glad that The Last Wish was a massive hit for me.

DNF at p. 50.

Yeah, this was just not for me. You can tell it's dated and written for someone who's not me.
Someone who's OK with Geralt sleeping with minor girls.
