Geralt is a witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. He roams the country seeking assignments, but gradually comes to realise that while some of his quarry are unremittingly vile, vicious grotesques, others are the victims of sin, evil or simple naivety.
One reviewer on Good Reading said:
'This book is a sheer delight. It is beautifully written,
full of vitality and endlessly inventive: its format, with half a
dozen episodes and intervening rest periods for both the hero and
the reader, allows for a huge range of characters, scenarios and
action. It's thought-provoking without being in the least dogmatic,
witty without descending to farce and packed with sword fights
without being derivative. The dialogue sparkles; characters morph
almost imperceptibly from semi-cliche to completely original;
nothing is as it first seems. Sapkowski succeeds in seamlessly
welding familiar ideas, unique settings and delicious twists of
originality: his Beauty wants to rip the throat out of a sensitive
Beast; his Snow White seeks vengeance on all and sundry, his elves
are embittered and vindictive. It's easily one of the best things
I've read in ages.'
