There's probably something out there on the internet about ideal reading order for The Witcher, but I don't think starting with the prequels is ideal. I was also working at a disadvantage because I haven't watched the Netflix adaptation. I certainly plan to give this series the benefit of the doubt and plan to try reading Blood of Elves (which I'm given to believe is the actual book 1 for this series?) and see if I find that more compelling but for me as someone new to the series, The Last Wish didn't really draw me in or engage me beyond a very superficial level.
