Unfortunately not. I wish I liked them as much as everyone else does.

I would still give them a go. Just for me there is a lot of potential, but poorly done. Not sure if it's the translation for me but the dialogue is tedious, and the characters aren't at the level of many other fantasy series.

It very well just might be me ... I think the two short story collections are much stronger!

Oh my... that's not great, I didn't really liked Sword of Destiny tbh. There was too much romance in that for me. I still hope this will be better, but I am sorry you didn't like it. Will you finish the series?

Uh oh! Still, you may really enjoy the series, I hope you do. I'll definitely finish it so I can know what happens at the end, 4 books in, I don't really want to give up now!

Michael A shame that you're not enjoying these as much as others seem to. I have too many other books at home to want to give these a try at the moment.

I agree! Wish I loved them like many others. The first two collections of short stories are good fun.


Emily Ah, I was the same. Came away so disappointed after reading them😞 I finished the series anyway and glad I did, but you are definitely not alone friend. I think my expectations were too high... think I expected something like ASOIAF...

There's so many people who love the series it definitely made me expect a lot more! Glad I'm not the only one😊

Yuri I literally forgot almost everything that happened in this series within 6 months. I did love the world and Geralt & co. But that's about it.


Bogdan Loved the games, meh-ed the books (except the short stories - those were ok-to-good).
