The Witcher Boxed Set: The Last Wish, Sword of Destiny, Blood of Elves, Time of Contempt, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of The Swallow, The Lady of the Lake, Season of Storms

I bought this "The Witcher" book set as a present for my partner. He wanted to get a full set of the books as he loved the TV series as well as the Witcher games he has played on PlayStation. I was a bit hesitant to buy it on Amazon as I saw some of these book sets arrived with the red "Netflix" sign on the cover which my partner didn't want. Luckily, the books arrived well-packaged in a box (quite heavy!). In perfect condition, sealed in cellophane. No Netflix sign either! My partner was very happy and so was I to see a big smile on his face. Since then he has read some of the books and enjoyed them very much. He told me the story follows the tv show closely but it's not entirely same. It has more interesting details and is a pleasure to read. Now I'm tempted to read the books myself. I believe this set can make a wonderful present to someone who is a fan of the Witcher. Or just treat yourself to this lovely collection!

Great, arrived after only 2 days and in good condition well protected. Good price

The first two books of the set are short stories which I found gave me a lead in to what the Witcher is about. I haven't seen the tv series so I only had what others had told me to go by but I've found them almost impossible to put down. In fact I'm now going to have to get the DVDs!

I came to the books from the TV show and quite enjoyed the TV show, although the time jumping in the first series was quite confusing. As the series progressed, I found the story more engrossing and decided to give the series a read. Having now finished it, I am glad that I did so. Firstly, the characters themselves are fabulous: deep, individual personalities, well-thought out, great motivations, with mostly excellent story arcs. You won't forget many of them in a hurry and you will miss them when they are gone. The general arcs of the series are also strong, especially in the middle of the series but I do feel that the final book, with Ciri away with the Elves, Geralt floating around doubting himself, and the entire Nimue thread, detract from what could have been a cracking finale. This gives the impressiont that the series struggles to understand what it is and where it is ultimately going. Often there are side branches and seques, sometimes in different styles and paces which give credence to the idea that multiple authors were at work on it. When it's good though, and this is the majority of the series, it is very good. It has some of the best battles, chases, and fight scences I've ever read. Its political machinations are up there with the best. The comedy is excellent. All the relationships are handled with sensitivity and depth when required: as an example, Ciri's time with the Rats. I just wish the weight and direction of the ending was different. Highly Recommended.

Great box set which has all the books from the Witcher saga. I wanted to read them after watching the Netflix show and this set was the best price for all the books. The set came in a proper box and I like the new designed covers. Some people may not like the (relatively small) “NOW ON NETFLIX” red badge which is not removable and is part of the artwork but I don’t mind (I’d rather this than the show cover which I’ve seen in other stores) and ultimately the cover doesn’t change the stories within. Typeface and size of font is easy to read and the stories themselves are fantastic. Will definitely recommend reading them to other people who like me can’t get enough after watching the new show!

Came to the books from the Witcher III - Wind Hunt. Loved the books which have expanded my appreciation for the fantastic world and characters that Sapkowski created and CDPR have expanded upon.

Bought as a birthday present. My Mum loves the story.

Perfect!

Amo el video juego y la lectura está maravillosa, un poco difícil si el inglés no es tu idioma nativo como en mi caso, pero si no te importa utilizar el traductor de vez en cuando son unos libros muy recomendables, vale la pena el precio por el paquete, es mucho más económico que comprar todos por separado

Cool

An absolute thriller from start to end. If you've played the games, then you must buy the books. Or even if you haven't and are just looking for something great to read. The Witcher will not disappoint you. Unforgettable characters with beautiful descriptions, it feels like I'm in the world of The Witcher, riding alongside Geralt, Dandelion, Ciri and many more characters on their journey. Buy it now, you won't regert it.

Çok iyi bir şekilde paketlenmişti. Hatta ilk defa bu kadar korunaklı bir kitap seti geçti elime. Normalde iş bankası ya da ithaki gibi yayınevlerini tercih ederim. Fakat bu seri için Türkçe yerine ingilizce tercih etmek çok mantıklı.

To read, for me, everything is perfect. The box. The books. Great quality for its price (it has gone up by a lot since the time I purchased). If you haven't read a line from any of these books, try a kindle sample first. The English used in these books can be a bit hard for some people. Just keep a dictionary nearby for some words here and there, I'd suggest. I would also recommend to visit the wiki page for the Witcher. You could stumble across a character or creature and, most times, the book wouldn't try to describe or explain them. It is NOT necessary, however. If you are buying as a collectable, you MIGHT want to reconsider it, though. Because of their nature, these books require a extra bit of carefulness as they can easily be bent and damaged. You might see many reviews complaining about the "NOW ON NETFLIX" Sticker, which it NOT a sticker. It is printed in the cape, so you cannot remove it. For me, I couldn't be bothered. I can still read and enjoy this perfect series. Overall, truly worth it. I couldn't be happier!! Totally recommend!
