My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Geralt of Rivia is a witcher,
someone who is a monster hunter for hire. This massive volume contains several comic
series: House of Glass, Fox Children, Curse of Crows, and Killing Monsters.
Plus the usual goodies at the end, like a sketchbook and such.
The Witcher series showed
up on my radar when my teenager asked for the books. I think he discovered the
books after seeing the video game. Then he heard there was going to be a series
and now he’s witcher obsessed. I want to read the books, but haven't gotten
around to them yet. When I saw there were graphic novels out I jumped at the
chance to dive into the witcher world with them first. I can fit a graphic
novel (or two or three) into my schedule much more easily than some hefty
books. I have to admit, I’m hooked.
The monsters are
plentiful in the witcher world as this graphic novel will show. There’s not
much background on how Geralt becomes a witcher or who his traveling companions
are to him, but the stories are self-contained and entertaining. Geralt has
principals that chafe him when they go up against witcher code, but I like his
unique ways of resolving the situations. Also, Geralt is hot. Nom nom! My son
has asked me to stop saying that. LOL I consider this an excellent volume to
get started in the world of Geralt and if you have already been through the
books then I imagine it would be a wonderful addition. Finally, the artwork is
gorgeous. I may have suggested this purchase to the library (and they bought
it-I love my library!), but we’ll be adding it to our own home library soon.
