The Witcher

Polish fantasy has come to North America and, judging from how awesome it is, here to stay.If you've played the fabulous 'Witcher' video games, you'll have some idea what this series is about. But the video game merely scratches the surface of the large body of excellent stories by Andrzej Sapkowski. The world of the Witcher is a morally ambiguous place -- a landscape infested and haunted with monsters and creatures of the night. And Gerald of Rivera is a Witcher, a monster hunter who's job is to deal with it. While this may sound like yet another sword and sorcery tale about a monster slaying hero with as word, The Witcher is actually a very deep and complex story when you get into it.It's not what you initially think it's about. I can guarantee you that once you start getting into the meat of the story, you won't be able to put it down. Sapkowski takes a lot of the old fary tales and integrates them into The Witcher stories --- with a twist.If you like your fantasy grim, The Witcher beckons.
