What happens when the Snow White story goes wrong? You get the short story Lesser Evil! The characters in this story are awesome! I love how it's not clear who's the villain in here, because everyone is kinda evil, it's just a matter of choosing the lesser evil. I'm kinda sad that this story wasn't adapted in the TV show, but maybe it will in the future. That was a very unexpected ending and I liked that. Nivellen is a tragic twist of the Beauty & Beast fairytale, where none of the beauties really love him and the one who finally breaks the curse is another beast. This story is very mysterious and fairytale-like, which I loved. Overall it's one of the most memorable chapters of the entire series for me.
In general this chapter felt like a side-quest in a video-game (I've never played the Witcher games btw) and I loved that. The story about the striga is interesting and the fight is very cool. We can see his personality and even his professional side. The very first time we see Geralt of Rivia and in my opinion it's one of the best character introductions I've ever read. Now I'm going to go over each of the individual stories and I'll give you some of my opinions on them. Another thing I loved was the parallels with the classic fairytales, like Beauty & Beast, Snow White etc. These books also do a phenomenal job of introducing the reader to the world and the characters of the Witcher series. Because it's a short story, the author is basically forced to do everything in a fast pace, so there is almost no filler. The short story approach works very well with this series, because it's able to tell a story with some interesting character development. At the moment I'm halfway through Lady of the Lake, so please don't spoil that book for me.įirst of all, let me say that this book is absolutely my favourite of the entire series, I don't think the novels are quite as good as the short stories. In this post, I'm going to talk about what I thought of the first short story collection, The Last Wish.
It seems like you guys like reading about book opinions, so I've decided to give you mine.
