About this listen

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin.

And a cold-blooded killer.

His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil, and not everything fair is good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

The international hit that inspired the video game The Witcher.

captivating.

This was my first foray into the tales of Geralt of Rivia, and I do not regret it one bit. The story is well written, suspenseful and engaging. the characters diverse, colorful and relatable. The voice acting in this audiobook captures the tone and emotion of the narrative perfectly, and portrays the characters superbly and believably.

Great Listen

Enchanting listen. I did find the hop around around towards the second half of the story a bit hard to keep up with. I'm not usually the type of person that struggles with multi stories, plot breaks, or even twists or time line fast forwards or flash backs but I had to rewind and re-listen twice to figure out where things fit. Other than that it was quite an action packed, plot twisting, heart wrenching -- must read.

Narrator is hard to hear

His normal voice is hard to hear. So I turn the volume up. And then when he acts out different and particularly higher pitched voices it’s way too loud. Very frustrating because the book itself is great!

Great Intro to the Witcher

The narrator gave a wonderful performance. His accents and voice choices for the various characters brought them to life.
The story itself was great for a introduction to the Witcher series. However, if you prefer a linear story this is not it.

Played the Witcher 3 video game first.

Played the Witcher 3 video game first and thought I would give this audible book a try. I was not disappointed! The book was great and I thought there was great consistency between the platforms. Plus, several of the background stories were explained and now so many more things make sense. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you enjoyed playing Witcher 3, there's a great chance you may also like this book.

Amazing!

Credit is due to so many sources for this masterpiece. I must first say that the narrator's performance was the best performance I have yet listened to from Audible. Stunning. So much character, and so well timed. The translation of the book was flawless. It feels to me as if it were written in English by someone who has been published many times. of course, the source material from the books author was very good and enlightening. I love this audio book. I adore it's presentation.

Great book.

I very much enjoyed this book. It made me appreciate the video games even more. Now I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books and getting a better understanding of the characters in the game The Withcher 3 Wild Hunt.
