Some of the stories were adapted into several episodes of the Netflix series, though with a few differences. It’s a prequel of the whole series, and I do recommend reading this first as it’s a lovely way to be introduced to the world and to Geralt. The Last Wish is a collection of short stories of Geralt the Witcher. I think this is one of the rare times where watching the TV shows / playing the games help you immerse yourself in the books better. I usually prefer reading books before seeing their movie/TV adaptations, but I actually picked up The Last Wish (and the entire set of Witcher Books!) after finishing the Netflix adaption and buying the video game adaption, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I was a bit intimidated to start this book, but from the first page alone I could tell that I was going to love Sapkowski’s writing (well, the English translated version anyway.)
