What Members Thought
I thought this was a fun read that is a good reflection of why I join groups like the Sword and Laser. I never would have read it otherwise. I found it to be very readable, and I pictured all the little short stories as game episodes and that made it go very quickly. The monsters from eastern European mythology/folklore made it fun, although most of what I Googled took me to the wiki for The Witcher, so they must be pretty scarce elsewhere in literature.
Maybe it was because I read this in translation, but I didn't find this a stellar or incredible read at all. The story was strongly episodic, which isn't a style I like; there were very clear breaks between chapters (which made it feel almost as if it was jumping around far too much).
