I’m not saying the books can’t achieve that from my experience, books (original material) are often superior to their adaptations. As someone who loves the game a LOT, and considering that this is a different medium of storytelling compared to the books, I honestly don’t expect the books (this time) would be able to live up to the satisfaction and escapism I got from playing the games. It’s not until The Last Wish Illustrated Edition published by Orbit Books and Gollancz came out a few months ago that I finally took the plunge to start reading the series. More than six years have passed since I first finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and I’ve wanted to know more about the characters, magic, and world I felt invested in. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains one of the best open-world role-playing games I’ve played, and even though it has been years since I finished the game, I still think about my 100+ hours of adventure with the game. Similar to millions of gamers-now readers-around the world, I heard about The Witcher book series through the video games adaptation. The Last Wish made me feel like I was reading Geralt doing his side quests in the game. Published: 7th December 2021 by Orbit (US) and Gollancz (UK) Genre: Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, High Fantasy Review copy was provided by Gollancz in exchange for an honest review.
