About this audiobook

The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, holds the fate of the world in his hands in the New York Times bestselling first novel in the Witcher series that inspired the Netflix show and video games.
NAMED ONE OF FORBES' GREATEST BOOK SERIES OF ALL TIME 2024
For more than a hundred years, humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races are fighting once again - killing their own kind and each other.

Into this tumultuous time is born a child of prophecy, Ciri, surviving heiress of a bloody revolution, whose strange abilities can change the world - for good, or for evil...

As the threat of war hangs over the land, Geralt the Witcher must protect Ciri from those who are hunting the child for her destructive power.

But this time, Geralt may have met his match.

Translated by Danusia Stok.

Listening to this audiobook was a good way to get into reading the series. However I have only given it 3 stars because the narrator unnecessarily does different "voices" for each character, and they are awful, especially when you reach a part where there are many characters talking to each other. Completely unnecessary and badly done I'm afraid. I have switched to reading the books after the first 2 chapters of this audiobook, which is a shame because when the narrator reads normally it is good
