Pretty much the title, I have re-read them recently, and it's just as good as ever. On the flip side, it makes me even more depressed about the abysmal Netflix show overshadowing Andrzej Sapkowski's absolute masterpieces. If anyone else has read his series and has different/similar opinions on the series I would love to hear them, otherwise, here are my thoughts.
The Witcher series starts with two collections of short stories that all have as much depth and intrigue as most fully-fledged fantasy novels. The only real complaint I have with the first two books would be that the start of the first book might give you the wrong idea as to the quality of the novels as well as some repeat descriptions that can be attributed to it being Sapkowsi's FIRST BOOK. I REPEAT THIS WAS HIS FIRST WRITTEN NOVEL EVER. Which is truly astounding in my opinion.
From the first two books onward it only gets better, with the characters being intriguing and the locations and settings stunning. Andrez is an amazingly gifted narrative weaver with each story leaving you with a great lesson or in many cases, an overwhelming feeling of Sadness, Hope, or even Contempt at times.
This is essentially my feelings on the books in a nutshell, once again I would love to hear what this community thinks of them. Including whether or not they are underrated. Edit: A little clarification. I believe the books are underrated due to the fact that the games and show have wayyy more viewers in comparison. Despite the books being brilliant.
