Bookseller recommendation
“The incredibly popular Witcher video game series is actually based off of this series of stories and novels from a Polish writer. The game designers wanted to make a game in tribute to their favorite author, and ended up reviving the books, and getting them translated into English. Which I'm really glad for. This is the first book, a collection of the short stories the character first appeared in, before embarking on his main epic adventure. It pulls thoughtfully from fairy tales, creates a wonderful, full world, with multidimensional characters. Most of all though, I am continually surprised - in a good way - by the prescient relevance to our current world, in terms of this series examination of politics, gender, bigotry, war, and discrimination. All wrapped in magical, action-packed adventure, and with a sense of humor. Many pick up these books for the games (myself included) but they deserve to be read by all who appreciate well-constructed fantasy with a purpose.”
