Wars, political corruption, racism, and finding enough to eat are as overwhelming in Sapkowski’s “The Last Wish,” as they are in ours.
Our hero, Geralt of Rivia, was once a man, but now is a Witcher, a mutant monster slayer for hire. He roams the darkened corners of his world hunting down the next target and trying to do good. The Last Wish is a collection of Geralt's earlier adventures, which sets him against, beasts both monstrous and human, evil genies, and seven killers lead by a vengeful bandit princess.
This is an absolute favorite of mine, and whether you have had a chance to check out the new Netflix series or not, I think any fan of fantasy or adventure should check this out.
