Depends how much you're into fantasy. If you're a fantasy reader and especially if you liked the original Witcher (game) then I'd say yes. They're fairly short and entertaining although I do get the feeling something may have been lost in translation though. I'm not quite willing to learn Polish for the series though

The first book reads like a collection of short stories whilst Geralt is recovering in the temple of Melitelle. You can also tell he's taken a range of influences from fairy tales and folk stories and put his own spin on them in his fantasy world. The second reads like a more traditional novel and introduces more characters and delves into the world in a bit more depth. Worth a read imo. 


OK, cheers. I'm not a big Fantasy buff (Terry Pratchett's about my limit), but they do sound interesting so I think I'll pick them up.

That's because second one translated to english is first book of five book long saga. Next book IIRC is slated for release in 2011 in west.

Also first Witcher had a lot of minor references to books : like the part when Geralt talks to Jaskier and tell's something along the lines "Maybe you will tell me I also had a dragon friend".

It's timed-exclusive to PC. It's coming to console, but the date is TBA. The action in this game is basically what Fable should've been like.

Hyperhyped! My backlog will most probably grow even if I'll wait as usual to buy it (and most probably I'll have to, I'll need my next PC update, I guess after Xmas 2011, to enjoy it fully), but I'll eventually buy it.

Now I really need to reinstall Windows on the desktop from scratch and solve the CD-DVD reading issues, as with the notebook I can play and remove from my backlog only the least power-hungry titles...

Thanks for letting me know! Will have to add the next one in my "list of books to read" this year. I take it you've read the whole saga? Would love to know what you think (but no spoilers please!) .

Honestly speaking i read it 4 or 5 times all 7 books ;) Ranks up among my favourites fantasy books.

If i had to find closest match in style it would be brutal dark fantasy like Game of Thrones with more action and less intrigues.

Lol. That's good considerring Song of Ice and Fire is my favourite series of books. I'll look forward to finishing the series, just wish they'd translate them faster!

Really am looking forward to it, though I'm still playing it ( got the super final polish edition not too long ago ), but I like it, a lot. The grey moral choices are definetly a highlight for me.
