Fantastical monster hunting and moral complexities

The Last Wish would be a great read for fans of dark fantasy and morally complex characters. The unique feature of this book is the way it weaves together classical fairytales and mythic creatures in a world that is both mystical and grim. Readers will be taken on a journey with Geralt, a skilled monster hunter, who faces new challenges with every turn of the page. The Last Wish explores themes of morality, responsibility, and the struggle to find one's place in a world that often has different expectations. Overall, this book is a great recommendation for readers who enjoy high-stakes adventures and layered characters.

Description

Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. He roams the country seeking assignments, but gradually comes to realise that while some of his quarry are unremittingly vile, vicious grotesques, others are the victims of sin, evil or simple naivety.
