The Witcher

The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia: Geralt is known also as Gwynbleidd (Elder Speech meaning "The White Wolf", a name which was given to him by the dryads), as well as the Butcher of Blaviken.

  

The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski and translated by Danusia Stok is a story about a monster slayer who travels to different realms(kingdoms) in search of work.
If I suggested this to a friend, I would summarize the plot as follows:

• Geralt of Rivia is the protagonist. He is a mutant who underwent rigorous training as a child and eventually graduated form the Wolf School of the Witchers at the fortress of Kaer Morhen, in the realm of Kaedwen.
• A witcher is a mutant that slays monsters such as strigas, nekkers, drowners, nercophages, bullvores, trolls, arachas, endregas, wraiths, bruxas, and specters. Witchers do not slay dragons, but will if they must.
• There are four known schools of witchers: The Cat School, The Wolf School, The Viper School, and the Griffin(or Gryphon) School.
• The world is made up of many realms such as Temeria, Redania, Aedirn, Kaedwen, and the empire of Nilfgaard.
• The chapters in the novel consist of themes that Geralt will learn and grow to understand their meaning. The Lesser Evil and the Voice of Reason are the prominent themes.
• It is a very mature read, but the read is well worth it.

The book thus far is amazing, it shows Geralt Roger Eric de Haute Bellegarde, I mean Geralt of Rivia, in all of his glory. Transitioning from the game to the book was not complicated at all, the game portrays Geralt much like he was in the book, and that is what is great about the series.
