The Last Wish

Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge of fantasy, intellectual discouse and dry humour. Recommended * Time Magazine *Character interplay is complex, unsentimental and anchored in brutal shared history * SFX *Delightfully dry humour, mythology brimming with radical creatures and a group of interesting characters, The Last Wish is a great introduction to this universe * Fantasy Book Review *Sapkowski has a confident and rich voice which permeates the prose and remains post-translation. I’d recommend this to any fan of Heroic or Dark fiction * SF Book *One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I’ve ever read * Nerds of a Feather *Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new … [a] fresh take on genre fantasy * Foundation *There’s lots of imagination on show, the writing has a strong voice, and the Witcher is an entertaining character * Mark Lawrence *Refreshing and a lot of fun to read * Grimdark Magazine *Captivating, often nerve-wracking, and truthfully … rip-roaring fun * Fantasy Hive *
