But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. įor over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But it's the story that counts!) Either way, you might as well read the first three books just in case.Andrzej Sapkowski created an international phenomenon with his New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series about Geralt of Rivia, which has gone on to inspire the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games. Now, for the first time in a single boxed set, and featuring stunning new cover designs, the five novels that comprise the Witcher Blood of Elves, The Time of Contempt, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of Swallows, and Lady of the Lake. Or perhaps it will skip ahead to the first novel, Blood of Elves. That might mean the first season is based on The Last Wish, the chronologically-first book in the series (though, it is in fact a short story collection).
(And hopefully only cover what's covered in the books though, some fear the series is already straying from its slavic literary roots.) It's not yet clear how much of the book series season 1 will cover, but if it's following the coal mine three-eyed raven of it's predecessor Game of Thrones, it's likely to spend one season on each book. And the Witcher series, helmed by Lauren Hissrich, will apparently follow these books faithfully (Hissrich has also promised an unsanitized adaptation it's "very adult" Hissrich told Entertainment Weekly). Written by Polish author Andrzej Zapkowski, The Witcher series includes eight works, two of which are short story collections. Or, you could just enjoy the show and knick the inevitable disappointment of a television series failing to adopt a book the way fans demand. Eight books, 3,441 pages, and, at the time of our writing, 43 days until the debut of Netflix's adaptation, starring Henry Cavill.
