It was only because of the recent Netflix revival of this series that I came to know about the book series. So I immediately decided I should read the series before watching the series. So far I have only read this first book, but I can say I highly recommend it. 

The first book is a combination of short stories that introduce the reader to the character Geralt, a witcher from Rivia. Although some monsters and legends in the book sound familiar - monsters that are called the Devil or a creature that sounds a lot like a vampire -they are based on Slavic mythology, which is what makes this series stand out from other fantasy series written by authors from Western cultures. 
The writing style was pleasant with just long enough fighting scenes that make it exciting and intense to read, yet not too long making you want to skip ahead. Personally, it took me some time to get into the story as my main genre isn't fantasy and I had to get used to certain 'older' words and descriptions. But as I went along I got addicted to the stories and couldn't put the book down.
The second part of the book introduces two characters important for the rest of the series, as I think, namely Ronunkel and Yennefer. How the stories are set up and ended make you want to read more because you know there is more to it... 

I can't wait to continue with this series and I definitely recommend it to everyone to read! Especially if you are into the fantasy genre, it is a series you cannot miss. But even if you are usually not into fantasy, this is a good series to get you into it.
