- 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.
