"Geralt the Witcher—revered and hated—is a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good... and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth."

I didn't know anything about this universe before starting this book (I haven't played the games or seen the tv-series) and I was pleasantly surprised. Geralt is an interesting character and I'm curious about the other books in the series. My only problem with this book was how the women characters are written, but that's my usual complain in this genre.

Merry Christmas!

Yay, another new fantasy series for me, thanks slipperbunny!
