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 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. The Magicians are fighting amongst themselves, some in the pay of the kings, some sympathetic to the elves.
And against this backdrop of fear and contempt Geralt and his lover Yennefer must protect Ciri, orphaned heir and sought by all sides. For the prophecy rests on her, and whether she lives or dies she has the power to save the world - or perhaps end it.

Geschichte
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.

Geschichte
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was 10, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is 17, he meets a dog named Radar and his aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.

Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there were Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve, but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true name (hidden from all he and Dunk encounter) is Aegon Targaryen.

Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.

Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control. As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217, and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?

Characters come alive in the dirty and unfair world of the Witcher with the readers voice.
The reader once again performs marvelously; giving each character not only a speech pattern but fitting accents and dialects to them.
The story is befitting of the Witcher universe but appears somewhat too nice in this part of the series.
The book is very obviously written as a part of a bigger series and could have done with a finish that is not as tv-series like as it is.
Overall all my criticism is on a high level and only existent at all due to my high expectations.
If you like fantasy and characters that are not simply good or evil you will like the Witcher.

Great book bad ending
This is book #4 in the reading order of the Witcher books and boy oh boy do we have a high note in the middle here! This is the best novel so far, and absolutely on par with #1 in the reading order - the collection of short stories in "The last wish".
Absolutely sensational descriptions of conclaves, gatherings, group behaviour, decision making, political intrigue and awesome character development. Also very flowy introduction of new characters and just such a quick entry into new scenes. This book is by far the best world-building in the series so far. As in the other books, it becomes a bit touch-and-go when Ciri gets to discover her powers and the author struggles with not making magical visions too clichee, but it's a good balance I think. There are also good explanations for why certain magical solutions that pop into your head as a reader are not possible right now, so it's fine.
But then... the ending. This book tapers out with a bad aftertaste. A very dull and slow ending, last-minute character introductions that are probably supposed to set up the next book, a cliffhanger that's not really thrilling (empty threats with no real feeling of danger), and worst of all a kind of... sexual assault scene that suddenly isn't one anymore just because the assaultant changes? Very confused writing and no nice bow to tie up the end with all the other characters we've grown to love throughout the book but are missing for the last chapters.
