Geralt de Riv, a witcher, uses his vast sorcerous powers to hunt down the monsters that threaten the world, but he soon discovers that not every monstrous-looking creature is evil, and not everything beautiful is good.
JessiAdams: Both are clever adventure fantasy series with some magic and a main character who goes to great lengths to save the world. Both also have moments of laugh out loud hilarity.
A fix-up novel containing several short stories about a witcher (a hunter of magical monsters) called Geralt de Rivia.
With Eastern-European influences (the author is Polish), many of the tales have a fairy-tale flavor, along with some action and fights. Since I can't read the original, I read it in Spanish, since I have heard good things about the translation to that language.
The Witcher himself is a grim professional. He is experienced and follows his own honor code.

Overall, quite entertaining. I wish we would get to know the main character more deeply, though. ( )
