The writting was easy on the eyes and full of action and honestly, what else do you need?
But Andrzej Sapkowski should probably frequent some courses on womens writting and take notes, because everytime a character of "the weaker sex" was introduced i broke into a cold sweat.

Sapkowski lainailee elementtejä kansantaruista ja saduista. Tämä tuntuu hieman jopa laiskalta, sillä odotin, että kirjassa olisi enemmän keskitytty hirviöihin ja ylipäätänsäkin toimintaan. Sen sijaan Viimeinen toivomus on erittäin dialogipainotteinen. Voitaisiin jopa sanoa, että kirja on monologipainotteinen. Äänikirjaformaatissa se jollain tasolla toimii, koska mitä muutakaan äänikirja on, kun jonkun tyypin kertoman tarinan kuuntelemista. Yleisesti ottaen pidän silti enemmän siitä, että dialogi, toiminta ja kuvailu on enemmän tasapainossa.

I really enjoyed the dynamic of Geralt and Dandelion, I did not expect to like the humor as much as I did. The story is told in a series of time-jumping short stories, with a small narrative throughout that connect everything. I think without any prior knowledge of the series, it could be a little confusing to jump in, but Sapkowski is pretty good at creating an immersive world that is easy to get lost in.
my one critique is a bit silly, but we felt like he mentions female characters breasts like A LOT. to the point where every time a female character is introduced, you can expect to hear about them. it honestly became a bit of a meme throughout our reading, but overall i don’t think the female characters are poorly written or one-note. I do hope that he continues to improve as the series goes on though!
