In comparison, the Witcher books are a lot harder to follow with a lot of switching perspectives, long chapters, and an oftentimes difficult to discern overarching storyline. For example, one story draws inspiration from ‘Snow White’, while another is like a grotesque version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. What also makes the stories seem familiar while introducing an entirely new world is the fact that they are loosely based on fairytales. It is then interspersed with multiple different stories that help paint a picture of Geralt of Rivia. The story is structured around one single story which acts as the present timeline. In addition to following just one character, Last Wish is also easy to read. The Stories Are Easier to Read than the Novels Last Wish is great because we get to see how Geralt interacts with his buddies, falls in love with Yennefer, and get an insight into his resourcefulness and inherent power as a Witcher. And while there are a cast of very appealing supporter characters – Dandelion, Yennefer, Regus and so on – the story is at its best whenever Garalt is taking up the “screen time”. To me, Garalt is by far the most interesting character in the Witcher universe.

Unlike the TV show and the books, Last Wish solely follows our favorite Witcher from Rivia.
The Stories Solely Follow Garalt of Rivia However, not only is The Last Wish the best entry point into the story for those new to the Witcher universe, it’s also the best book of the series.
Essentially a collection of short stories, Last Wish establishes the Witcher universe and introduces the key characters and plot. Where do you start?Īs it turns out, The Last Wish is the book to start with. However, upon initial discovery, you realize that chronology of the Witcher books is somewhat confusing. If you are a fan of the Witcher Netflix original show, or of the acclaimed video game, then you might be excited to dive into the books.
