Currently reading The Last Wish, which is a bunch of short stories following Geralt from the Witcher. Really enjoying it so far and if anyone here is a fan of the games or watched the show you'll like it. The short stories will also be recognizable if you watched the show as well.
I read the first two books of the Witcher and had a lot of trouble getting into them. I’ve loved other fantasy books but never enjoyed the Witcher when I read it
What about A Song of Ice and Fire?
I’ve read the whole series (besides Fire and Blood) and really enjoyed it
I hate Fire and Blood.
I've heard its awful but haven't read it yet. Why do you hate it?
Because of the smut.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
The excerpts I've read make GRRM look like the characature that people say he is.
I didn't like that part of the whole series and I have a hard time looking past it in what I read of his. (I would absolutely pay for a censored version of the works if that was ever made available)
Same.
I would quite honestly pay for a lot of books to have a version with inappropriate content removed. It would make a lot of them so much better
It would make them more readable.
Yeah I heard people with similar opinions, that's why I think I'll finish this book and then read the other short story book (Swords of Destiny I think it's called) and then just stop there.
I mean if you like the first two, there isn’t a harm in trying it to see if you do but I just personally didn’t
NOICE
I'm still on my re-read of A Song of Ice and Fire.
