Whether you’re already a fan or are looking for your next fantasy obsession, The Last Wish is a perfect place to start. Rich with details and vivid world-building, the audio edition is made even more exciting by the rich, deep tones of narrator Peter Kenny.
Inhaltsangabe
Introducing Geralt the Witcher - revered and hated - who holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in the best-selling series that inspired the Witcher video games and a major Netflix show.
Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin.
Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.
But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.
Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series. The Last Wish is the perfect introduction to this one-of-a-kind fantasy world.

Geschichte
Geralt the Witcher has fought monsters and demons across the land, but even he may not be prepared for what is happening to his world. The kings and armies are manoeuvring for position, each fearing invasion from across the river, each fearing their neighbours more. Intrigue, dissent and rebellion are on all sides. The Elves and other non-humans are still suffering under decades of repression, and growing numbers join the commando units hidden deep in the forest, striking at will and then dissolving into the trees.

"Was soll man von dir halten - ein Hexer, der jeden zweiten Tag ein einträgliches Angebot ausschlägt? Die Hirikka tötest du nicht, weil die am Aussterben sind, den Streitling nicht, weil er unschädlich ist, die Nächtin nicht, weil sie nett ist, den Drachen nicht, weil's der Kodex verbietet..." Der Hexer Geralt von Riva verdient seinen Lebensunterhalt recht und schlecht mit dem Beseitigen von allerlei Ungeheuern. Nicht selten begegnen ihm die Leute, die ihn anheuern, mit tiefem Argwohn.

Great stories - horrible narrator
The short stories are well constructed and rich in detail - also, the translation to English seems excellent.
However, the narrator P. Kenny comes close to completely ruining this.
It's my mistake that I didn't recognize him before buying the audio-book - I encountered his horrible narration in another audio-book several years ago and had since forgotten is name.
- staccato-style narration of sentences with (long) pauses in-between.
-> Kenny seems to always pause to read ahead and then PRESSES OUT partial or whole sentences in an incredibly fast staccato style.
-> This staccato style also seems the only explanation to me how he can so completely mispronounce the name Dandelion - his speaks it as "dan-dilllion" which allows him to speak it very fast ("dillion" spoken twice as fast as "dan") - while the correct "dan-de-li-on" would have to be spoken much slower,
- major variations in volume.
-> Kenny speaks some parts very softly while other parts are pronounced very strongly and loudly.
-> This makes for hard to understand listening any any but the most quiet environments - listening while traveling (car, train, etc.) is close to impossible.
It has to be said that Kenny is a skilled narrator - there are no mistakes and he is quite skilled in imitating different persons
-> But this can be said about most narrators of professionally recorded audio-books - his general skills of narration DO NOT negate the above deficits!
I'm actively noting down Peter Kenny as narrator to avoid!

Liked the story
But the narrator gets many pronunciations wrong, it's really confusing. For example Dandelion... I even checked the pronunciation in a dictionary and he is either using some dialect or pronounces it wrong.

Strange Performance, Decent Book
I truly enjoyed this collection of short stories, my main gripe is about the narration. The performance was uttered so rapidly throughout the book that I had to listen to the entire story at 0.75x playback speed. The different voices and accents were decent, and the characters were well portrayed. However, I cannot forgive the pronunciation of “Dandelion”, a common English word, as “Dan-dillion”.
This won’t stop me from listening to more of Kinney’s performances, because despite those errors it was enjoyable. However, for those more sensitive to these issues, perhaps reading the book would be preferable.

Very badly narrated
I love the Witcher series books, but the narrator is horrible, and I find this title virutally impossible to listen to, and therefore not an audiobook I could recommend. I'm ESL but have a high proficiency and experience in reading and listening in English in a wide range of genres I listened to English audiobooks already. This is the first time that I'm really struggling with understanding, due to the speech pattern and pronunciation of the narrator, and his very odd pronunciation particularly of names and book-specific items - and I've read the book before so I'm already familiar with these. I've given up three chapters in and am switching to the German version of the audiobooks.

This a number of short stories about Geralt roughly in chronological order except for a few flash backs. The stories are not really connected though, and form no greater plot. Some of the stories are very good, but most are a bit bland.

I enjoyed this program (for the most part)
I preferred this audiobook over the netflix series. The book feels a lot slower paced, but more fleshed out and lets you ease your way into the Witcher kosmos, whereas the tv series - while I enjoyed that as well, being a massive fan of all Witcher content - seems somewhat rushed, uncoordinated and clumsy at times. I can recommend the books to anyone who likes the show or the games.
There were two things I didn‘t much enjoy about the audiobook:
- I had to put the book to a 0.8x speed (thank you so much, Audible, for that function) to make the narration feel natural.
- Geralt‘s Rivian accent wasn‘t to my liking. I know this is a subjective point, but I just couldn‘t really feel my way into the character, because of the way he was portrayed.
All the other voices were done splendidly for the most part, especially the monsters, and the narration voice was very nice, apart from the speed, which was already mentioned.
In conclusion: This is a good, but not a perfect audiobook version of The Last Wish. Thank you for reading this. (4/5).
