Critics Review
An incredibly nuanced, well-articulated novel, imbued with a self-assured command of description and brimming with Eastern European folklore
Sapkowski revitalizes the genre with energetic and compelling writing. A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don’t miss it! - DREAMWATCH
The character interplay is complex, unsentimental and anchored in brutal shared history. All bodes well for twisty plotting to come - SFXLike Mieville and Gaiman, Sapkowski takes the old and makes it new - FOUNDATIONAn incredibly nuanced, well-articulated novel, imbued with a self-assured command of description and brimming with Eastern European folklore - Starburst on Time of ContemptLike a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge of fantasy, intellectual discourse and dry humour. Recommended - Time MagazineDelightfully dry humour, mythology brimming with radical creatures and a group of interesting characters - Fantasy Book ReviewOne of the best and most interesting fantasy series I’ve ever read - Nerds of a FeatherThere’s lots of imagination on show, the writing has a strong voice, and the Witcher is an entertaining character - Mark LawrenceAbout The Author
