Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless hunter. Yet he is no ordinary killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

Far far beyond my expectations

5 stars

This book was awesome. I'm always a little hesitant to start stuff that has a pretty extensive following because mega fans are wearing rose coloured glasses. But this was in fact extremely awesome.

A main character who's cool, badass, but also somehow a bumbling idiot? And to make it all even better, the book avoids being a misogynistic disaster with a very little effort. The fact that this impresses me says a lot about this genre of fantasy writing, but I will be impressed nonetheless.

I've already got the next book out from the library and ready to read.
