Andrzej Sapkowski is the internationally bestselling author of The Witcher series and The Hussite Trilogy, known for his multi-layered plots, rich worldbuilding, and morally complex characters. The Witcher series, which has been translated into over 40 languages and has sold over 30 million copies, also inspired a hit Netflix series and landmark video games from CD Projekt Red. Recognized as one of the most influential voices in modern fantasy, he received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement (2016). In 2024, Forbes named The Witcher one of the 30 greatest book series of all time.
Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge
of fantasy, intellectual discouse and dry humour. Recommended
*Time Magazine*
Character interplay is complex, unsentimental and anchored in
brutal shared history
*SFX*
Delightfully dry humour, mythology brimming with radical creatures
and a group of interesting characters, The Last Wish is a great
introduction to this universe
*Fantasy Book Review*
Sapkowski has a confident and rich voice which permeates the prose
and remains post-translation. I'd recommend this to any fan of
Heroic or Dark fiction
*SF Book*
One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever
read
*Nerds of a Feather*
Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it
new . . . [a] fresh take on genre fantasy
*Foundation*
There's lots of imagination on show, the writing has a strong
voice, and the Witcher is an entertaining character
*Mark Lawrence*
Refreshing and a lot of fun to read
*Grimdark Magazine*
Captivating, often nerve-wracking, and truthfully . . . rip-roaring
fun
*Fantasy Hive*
