The Last Wish

I'm totally out of order reading the Witcher series. Having read Books 3, 4, and 5, I've now read the first book. It was the first to be published in Poland as well as here. Fortunately, the first book is a collection of stories about the Witcher that act as a prequel, or at least sets up the background for the Saga that begins in Book 3. It introduces Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher, taking a break to recover from injuries in the Temple of Melitere. As he heals, he tells several stories of his monster fighting career. It's the sort of swashbuckling fun that this series is known for, and which inspired the immensely popular video games based on the books.
