I can’t wait to read more of the books in The Witcher series. Even the moral of the stories, that not everything that looks like a monster is evil and everything that looks good isn’t necessarily good, was reminiscent of fairy tale lessons. I loved the references to these classic tales. There were references to Cinderella, Snow White, and Rumpelstiltskin, among others. I was surprised at the fairy tale aspects of the stories. Once I figured out the way the stories were being told, I really enjoyed the stories. I was completely new to the characters and the world, so it took a while to figure everything out. I enjoyed the stories, but it was a little hard to get into them at first. I haven’t read or watched anything in the Witcher series, so this story was completely new to me. Each story in this collection tells a tale of one monster he has tracked and defeated.

Geralt is a Witcher, an assassin who targets monsters. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.īut not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good… and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth. Geralt the Witcher-revered and hated-is a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin.
