I was not let down. I hope they remastered/remake the first game of the witcher game on xbox series x. Also, make dlcs or full game based on this first book/ prequel book. Its next.
Andrzej sapkowski’s use of twisting or subverting known fairy tales and tropes gives another dimension to his writing. The translation from the polish original version is excellent. A grain of truth has a little more polish than the original.
Cons
The writing style is really bad. The character is stilted and stolid. There's a lack of coherent narrative and instead tries to have these little vignettes and reminiscences that mostly fall flat.
This is just like a larger mass market paperback. Just seems to be incomplete and unfinished. It's totally not worth the cost if the book arrives warped!
The story telling itself is confusingly nonlinear and unclear. Do yourself a favor and skip this series. Stick with the netflix show, which does an admirable job.
The manic pixie girl does nothing to aid women, it only takes away some idea of personhood. Women are generally only around to have their body parts ogled at.

Geralt is a fascinating character though not an easy one to deal with
