"The entire Witcher series is very well written with an engaging story, you will not want to put down."
— Carly Z. (5/5)
First series I’ve continued reading !
"A great sequel to an already amazing first entry in the main entry in the series in “Blood of Elves”. Exploring the consequences of the four kingdoms thinking they are smarter than Nilfgaard as well as the unrest and mistrust in the council of sorcerers, we follow Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer trying to navigate through this world being destroyed by all out war."
— Seb M. (5/5)

"Witcher books generally feel a little disjointed but they are still a great read!"

Nice
"I read these books so fast. I feel like im on a cloud and not quite grasping the whole picture/narrative. I started with the blood of the elves because that was the book that was written first and I wanted to follow the authors journey as I read them but yeah. Feet don't feel like they are touching the ground the books are so moment by moment. Love it anyways fun reading experience looking forward to all the others."
