A good start to the Witcher series. If you like the Netflix show, you will like this. Most of season 1 came from the stories in this collection. I've only played the game briefly, so I don't know how the storylines stack up there. I knew I would like the "story" and premise, having enjoyed the Netflix series, but was worried about the writing - being translated an all. But it was quite enjoyable and I think I would've liked it even if I hadn't seen the TV show first. A decent amount of world-building without paragraph upon paragraph of the history of things. Highly recommended. I have the next two waiting for me, but might switch it up to something else before starting them.
