Condemned yourself to me.'" It's not quite the same in the show. But if there is, then you’ve condemned yourself. I don’t know whether there’s such a Force in Nature that could fulfil such a wish. 'I don’t know whether such a wish can ever be fulfilled. Here's Yennefer's reaction in the book: "'Wait,' she whispered. In the show, neither she nor the audience hears it. In the short story, Yennefer hears what Geralt's wish is, and is moved by it. Great character foundation through multiple short stories, I give The Last Wish 3.5 stars out of 5.Play This plays out largely the same way in the Netflix series, with one key difference. I almost wish more series would take this route, as it helps establish the lore before diving into the first “official” book's main plot. While additional characters like Yennefer or Ciri help to round out the series, focusing on the series’ namesake is important for building a foundation for world-building. The only character that matters is Geralt and how he reacts to the people around him and the jobs he takes to pay the bills.
There’s no huge overarching and complex series of events here. Part of why I like this method of storytelling is how simple it is. That being said, not every story is as enthralling as trying to save a noble’s daughter from a curse (which was one of the best in the set). While this technique is rarely used, I can appreciate how each story has a purpose in advancing the main character's overall story. Actions in one story may influence the characters in another, so there is something deeper here than just a collection of short stories. Told in a somewhat chronological manner, these bite-size stories often carry over and blend into each other in a way that feels natural. Still, these stories are solid and help flesh out the world where humans and creatures live together, rarely in harmony. It’s no wonder the TV series felt a little disjointed, as it had a series of short stories that were loosely connected via Geralt to work with. The first book in the series, The Last Wish introduces the titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, as he goes about his job ridding the world of dangerous supernatural creatures.
Those of us who have seen Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher will find this collection of short stories quite familiar.
