Blood of Elves | Andrzej Sapkowski

A bit slow and perhaps not well-paced, but overall still a good read. I have heard that this is supposed to be the first full book he wrote? And I would believe that. The politics in particular were boring, and the training sections do sort of run together without much to break them up, but characters are developed, and the middle section of this book is genuinely very engaging, and illuminates Geralt's morality and themes of the series very well.

ssleif I'm recommending it, but with the caveat that it's not a good entry into the series, the short stories are better, and that I would not have been motivated to get to the good parts if I wasn't just motivated to consume it all because I like the characters and want to learn about the world. 2y
ssleif Also, even though the show seems to have skipped through the majority of the events of this book, I hope that they slow down in the next season and do choose to adapt that middle section I was talking about from this book. Which they seem to have skipped. #witcher 2y

Wooden Bookmarks I got recently from www.inthereads.com - there are codes out there to save ten percent. The one I used is BOOKISH10 and there is free shipping on her site.
I got all of these from the misprints section. I really love her bookmarks.

Another fun comic adaptation. The story is entertaining, and the art is lovely. Geralt face-palming when he realized why he was hired for a certain job is an excellent moment in this volume. #comic #witcher #bookadaptation #adaptation #fantasy

An excellent read, especially for fans of this series. This graphic novel reads just like the game plays, and has all of the sardonic humor of the game and what I've read of the first book so far. The art is beautiful, and it's quite satisfying to see Ciri kicking the asses of the assuming men that need it. #witcher #fantasy #transmedia

This was good, but it was just as slow as the first one and ugh. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this fourth installment, but the previous two were better! Here's hoping that my #Witcher break will let me enjoy the next one more!

Pruzy Any advice on where to start with The Witcher series? 7y
Bookworm54 @Pruzy This is my first time reading them, and there is some conflicting advice, especially about where Sword of Destiny comes into it. Most people seem to advise starting with The Last Wish which is an anthology introducing Geralt. Then it seems that half the people read the next anthology Sword of Destiny and the other half read the first of the novels Blood of Elves. :) 7y
Pruzy @Bookworm54 Nice! The Last Wish is where I'll begin! 7y
