Description

The world is at war and the prophesied savior is nowhere to be found. The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, races to find her in the fourth novel of Andrzej Sapkowski's groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games. 
The world has fallen into war. Ciri, the child of prophecy, has vanished. Hunted by friends and foes alike, she has taken on the guise of a petty bandit and lives free for the first time in her life.
But the net around her is closing. Geralt, the Witcher, has assembled a group of allies including Dandelion, Milva, Regis, and Cahir, to rescue her. Both sides of the war have sent brutal mercenaries to hunt her down. Her crimes have made her famous.
There is only one place left to run. The tower of the swallow is waiting. . .

reviews
      • premium: False
      • source: Nerds of a Feather
      • content: One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read. Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature ... Sapkowski is a genuine stylist.
      • premium: False
      • source: Foundation on The Last Wish
      • content: Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new ... fresh take on genre fantasy.
      • premium: False
      • source: Jacek Sieradzki, Polityka on The Last Wish
      • content: Sapkowski has a phenomenal gift for narrative, inventing sensational events, creating a suggestive mood, and building up the suspense along with a dazzling, slightly cynical sense of humor.
      • premium: False
      • source: Waterstones
      • content: Sapkowski's The Last Wish is a great collection of short stories centered around a witcher, Geralt - a rare sorcerous breed who hunts down the monstrous but is feared by the innocent. With a wondrous mix of Eastern European folklore and myth, beautiful princesses, mischievous demons and where all is not as it seems, The Last Wish is a great read - perfect for dipping into or just reading cover to cover, as I did.
      • premium: False
      • source: The Deckled Edge
      • content: I really, really enjoyed this book ... None of the characters in Sapkowski's world are black or white; they are all shades of grey, including Geralt and the monsters.
      • premium: False
      • source: The Wertzone
      • content: Sapkowski is very good at creating interesting, imaginative characters with unusual levels of depth to them ... The Last Wish is an enjoyable book full of stories both melancholy and comic.
      • premium: False
      • source: The Specusphere
      • content: This beautifully written character-based story from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski ... a refreshing champion.
      • premium: False
      • source: Gamespot.com on The Witcher video game
      • content: New battle mechanics, a fantastic storyline, and a gritty setting make The Witcher one of the most engrossing, mature RPGs to arrive on the PC in years.
      • premium: False
      • source: GT Reviews on The Witcher video game
      • content: The Witcher delivers one of the most intense and rewarding role-playing experiences this year.
