The Witcher novel has finally been translated into English.
Don't forget you should read all the short stories first.

1. The Road with No Return
2. A Grain of Truth
3. The Lesser Evil
4. The Edge of the World
5. The Last Wish
6. Season of Storms
7. A Question of Price
8. The Witcher
9. The Voice of Reason
10. The Bounds of Reason
11. A Shard of Ice
12. Eternal Flame
13. A Little Sacrifice
14. Sword of Destiny
15. Something More
16. Saga
17. Something Ends, Something Begins

You have to read them all in one reading if you want to remember the plot. 😀

Oh..., and don't even try to think about watching a tv series (based on few short stories) or movie (based on tv series 😉) before...

Just don't forget it had also been translated to many other languages before. It is best to read it in your native language cause of its rather advanced vocabulary.

I heard that the English translation is unfortunately one of the worst, at least when it comes to the older books.
I only read the original. The text is full of archaisms, unusual dialects, wordplays etc.
This makes it very hard to translate faithfully.

Andrzej Sapkowski said on Comic Con there might be a new Witcher book.

"...The saga has ended..." ,so "...prequel or sidequel, not sequel"

Anybody here been watching the Netflix series?

"Toss a coin to your Witcher, O' Valley of Plenty!"

Got season 1 DVD for xmas, already finished binge watching it. After reading the books it's a little disappointing in that
some of the monsters (strigga) didn't look as expected. Wished somebody else played Ciri but Geralt and Yennefer
seemed "spot on". Hopefully season 2 will wrap up quickly.

Those maps are overly simplified.
They are supposed to illustrate the Hussite Wars, but there's no Bohemia on them? Really?
I would prefer something like this - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/common … ull_of_1356.png - only updated by several decades.
