A review by maudsmeets
The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

3.5

I have always loved fairy tales. when I was young, I loved the princess and the magical happily ever after. But whilst I still love those, fairy tales have gotten a new meaning to me. They’re fascinating. Most of them are dark stories without a happily ever after. 
If you love those, this is a book that will probably interest you.

We follow Geralt, a witcher, who kills monsters on several adventures. This brought up a lot of interesting discussing on what a monster truly is, what does it mean to be evil? That was one of my favourite things about this book. It explored the subject of morality in a new and exciting way.

But with that being said, this book got a little boring for me sometimes. It is a short story collection and some of the time (especially during the middle) it felt disjointed. The story wasn’t building up to something so there was nothing that kept you on the edge of your seat. It was missing a climax. (That’s what she said hehe) 

I feel myself beginning to ramble so I’m going to try and wrap this up quickly. So, if you’re interested in a whole new fantasy world this is a good book to read. Read it if you’re craving something original that will take the fairy tales you already know and love and will turn them into something new. 

I had a lot of fun whilst reading this and I am excited to see where the rest of the story will take me.
