I absolutely loved the short stories but somehow never got past that, I could not get into the novels. Are you saying I should stick to it and I'm missing out? Does it build up essentially? I felt it was very different from the short stories but your enthusiasm now makes me feel I judged it too quickly!

I've read all of the novels and short stories. Apparently they are better in Polish?
If you read them, go in with low expectations and you might enjoy them? I found them scattered and not very compelling.
On the other hand, the Witcher 3 game is a masterpiece.

I loved the short stories and The Witcher games (all three), so I might just need to go in with low expectations indeed and give a chance for the novels to sweep me away 😊

Everyone has different tastes! There's a YouTuber that I like who is obsessed with them and does some interesting analysis of them as well. The Proper Bird has a great voice and a nice take on things.

I would most definitely give it another go. I know this is a super hot take but I think it may top LOTR for me, and that's coming from a massive Tolkien nerd.

It's very hard not to be sold after such a statement! I'll give it another go 😊.

Do enjoy my friend! I would say to go in with a detective mindset early on. Try and get invested in the mystery he builds in the first novel as you get some pretty great "Aha!" moments later on.
