The Last Wish is an enjoyable book full of stories both melancholy and comic."― The Wertzone "Sapkowski is very good at creating interesting, imaginative characters with unusual levels of depth to them. None of the characters in Sapkowski's world are black or white they are all shades of grey, including Geralt and the monsters."― The Deckled Edge Here's hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures."― Edge "It is world-weariness combined with his battle-honed powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. 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."― Waterstones "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.
"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."― Jacek Sieradzki, Polityka on The Last Wish "A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre.
fresh take on genre fantasy."― Foundation on The Last Wish "Like Mieville and Gaiman, takes the old and makes it new. "Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humor. Sapkowski is a genuine stylist."― Nerds of a Feather Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature. "One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read. Complex character relationships enrich this already complex world this is the sort of series fantasy fans will cherish."― B&N
"The universe of Sapkowski's The Witcher is one of the most detailed and best-explored in modern fantasy, offering endless opportunities for fresh ideas.
