While there is the occasional nod to traditional European fairy tales (Snow White, among others), much of the application of supertext and tropes are from a new point of view.- THE SPECUSPHERE, "This beautifully written character-based story from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. Sapkowski is a genuine stylist."- Nerds of a Feather, This beautifully written character-based story from Polish author Adrezej Sapkowski is a refreshing champion in a genre that's starting to get a little homogenic. Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature. Here's hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures."- Edge, "One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read. There's a fairy-tale quality to much of THE LAST WISH.- Jonathan Wright, SFX, " The Witcher delivers one of the most intense and rewarding role-playing experiences this year."- GT Reviews on The Witcher video game, "It is world-weariness combined with his battle-boned powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. None of the characters in Sapkowski's world are black or white they are all shades of grey, including Geralt and the monsters."- The Deckled Edge, It's refreshing to see another take on familiar elements.
The Last Wish is an enjoyable book full of stories both melancholy and comic."- The Wertzone, "I really, really enjoyed this book. Here's hoping THE LAST WISH is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures.- EDGE magazine, "Sapkowski is very good at creating interesting, imaginative characters with unusual levels of depth to them. Recommended."- Time, It is world-weariness, combined with his battle-boned powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. Here's hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures."- Edge, "Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humor.
I have never read a fantasy series like this, and suspect I never will again."- Nerds of a Feather on The Lady of the Lake, "It is world-weariness combined with his battle-honed powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. It is hard to put down, yet also a challenging and deeply rewarding book. The Lady of the Lake is, without any doubt, the best and most profound fantasy novel I have ever read.
