The Complete Witcher Series (8 Books Collection Box Set) Paperback – 1 Jan. 2020

All wrapped for son for Christmas, on time n no damage thanks.

A fantastic tale in a fantastic world, very cleverly written. There is humour, pathos and moral ambiguity. It rewards careful reading. There are many lovely oblique references to the real world that are not made obvious, you just need to know. For example: the joke about novice sorcerers being careful to not teaching brooms to carry water, a clear reference to Disney’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice; or the paraphrase of the Duke of Wellington’s (alleged) statement at Waterloo “Give me night or give me Blucher”. I just wonder how many of these I missed. But that is on the lighter side, and is necessary to balance the emotional challenge elsewhere.The first two books are a series of short stories that set the scene, introduces many of the main characters and so creates the world in which the main story is set. And what a story! Spread over five books the story unfolds in great detail, the main characters come alive and the locations described can be visualised almost to the point of being able the smell them.The last book is a prequel and as such is intended to be read last, though after completing the main story I needed some time to reflect before starting on it, such was the power of the story and the ambiguous fate of the main characters.Edit: Having now finished the sequel (Season of Storms) I think in might be best read as the third of the eight, rather than the last.

Really good value for these books I loved this Netflix series so I had to buy them, however I hate the Netflix logo on them but luckily I found someone on Etsy who sells stickers that cover it - they look so much better now 😃 you get an extra for the box too!

Brought for my boyfriend and he is enjoying the series very much. Reasonable price for the item and good quality.

I like collecting book series,and this is a nice looking boxset.

The books arrived, but the books box was torn on all sides. Disappointing

My partner really wanted these books and after spending a decent amount of money, I thought they would come in a nice box set. Only to receive a damaged box, not happy

The box to hold books was taped.
