Sinossi
Geralt è uno strigo, un individuo più forte e resistente di qualsiasi essere umano, che si guadagna da vivere uccidendo quelle creature che sgomentano anche i più audaci: demoni, orchi, elfi malvagi... Strappato alla sua famiglia quand'era soltanto un bambino, Geralt è stato sottoposto a un durissimo addestramento, durante il quale gli sono state somministrate erbe e pozioni che lo hanno mutato profondamente. Non esiste guerriero capace di batterlo e le stesse persone che lo assoldano hanno paura di lui. Lo considerano un male necessario, un mercenario da pagare per i suoi servigi e di cui sbarazzarsi il più in fretta possibile. Anche Geralt, però, ha imparato a non fidarsi degli uomini: molti di loro nascondono decisioni spietate sotto la menzogna del bene comune o diffondono ignobili superstizioni per giustificare i loro misfatti. Spesso si rivelano peggiori dei mostri ai quali lui dà la caccia. Proprio come i cavalieri che adesso sono sulle sue tracce: hanno scoperto che Geralt è gravemente ferito e non vogliono perdere l'occasione di eliminarlo una volta per tutte. Per questo lui ha chiesto asilo a Nenneke, sacerdotessa del tempio della dea Melitele e guaritrice eccezionale, nonché l'unica persona che può aiutarlo a ritrovare Yennefer, la bellissima e misteriosa maga che gli ha rubato il cuore…

“People” - Geralt turned his head - “like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves.” I have loved this series for many years now. When I read it, it was arguably the least famous one among my favourite fantasy series. The Witcher Saga by Polish author Andrzej Leggi tutto
This is exactly the kind of fantasy book I have no more interest in reading. We like to say that some books you can tell they’ve been written by a man, well this is one of them. (DNFed at p.165). I’m tired of ignoring misogyny in popular books or excusing them because they're "old" (1993). This book i Leggi tutto
Think about a fantasy book. Think about your favorite fantasy book. Chances are, it included elves or maybe dwarves. It probably had knights or something like them. It was, most likely, heavily influenced by Tolkien, or his successors, and it was probably based, at least in part, on a certain Anglo- Leggi tutto
So, this is a collection of short stories loosely threaded around a stay by our point-of-view character, the eponymous witcher, at a temple while recuperating from his latest fight. The stories are mostly (all?) retellings of / inspired by well known fairy stories, like Beauty and the Beast. They sha Leggi tutto
Last summer I became completely obsessed with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , where I took screenshots like this: (Add me on Steam !) And once I was finished with the DLC I knew I had to finally read the books to fill the void I now carry in my heart. This book was translated from Polish to English. It contai Leggi tutto
i accidentally watched the entire first season of ‘the witcher’ on netflix friday night and now i have a new obsession??? i wish i had decided to wait to watch the show until after i read this, because i think i would have gotten so much more out of it, but im in that early obsessive stage where i do Leggi tutto
See this? 🌊🌊🌊 This is the whole wave created by this series. And there is me, riding the wave with all of you: 🏄♀️ Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 In The Last Wish there are six stories, all knotted together by The Voice of Reason chapters. Those chapters were, in fact, happening in t Leggi tutto
I have to give you a secret! My admiration for the Witcher based on video games! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not video game fan! If I would have been, I could have never written a word or read any books! But my ugly singer neighbor’s kid (can you imagine to listen the worst covers of least likable boy b Leggi tutto
