Quotes
Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humor. Recommended. – Time “The universe of Sapkowski’s The Witcher is one of the most detailed and best-explored in modern fantasy, offering endless opportunities for fresh ideas … Complex character relationships enrich this already complex world; this is the sort of series fantasy fans will cherish. – Barnes&Noble.com “A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don’t miss it! – Fantasy Book Review One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I’ve ever read. Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature … Sapkowski is a genuine stylist. – Nerds of a Feather It is [his] world-weariness combined with his battle-honed powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. Here’s hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures. – Edge Sapkowski revitalizes the genre with energetic and compelling writing. A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Dont miss it! – Dreamwatch, praise for the series
