Sapkowski was born in 1948 in Poland. He studied economy and business, but the success of his fantasy cycle about the sorcerer Geralt de Rivia turned him into a bestselling writer and he is now one of Poland's most famous and successful authors, selling more in his own country than Stephen King or Michael Crichton.
Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge
of fantasy, intellectual discouse and dry humour. Recommended
*Time Magazine*
Character interplay is complex, unsentimental and anchored in
brutal shared history
*SFX*
Delightfully dry humour, mythology brimming with radical creatures
and a group of interesting characters, The Last Wish is a great
introduction to this universe
*Fantasy Book Review*
Sapkowski has a confident and rich voice which permeates the prose
and remains post-translation. I'd recommend this to any fan of
Heroic or Dark fiction
*SF Book*
One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever
read
*Nerds of a Feather*
Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it
new . . . [a] fresh take on genre fantasy
*Foundation*
There's lots of imagination on show, the writing has a strong
voice, and the Witcher is an entertaining character
*Mark Lawrence*
Refreshing and a lot of fun to read
*Grimdark Magazine*
Captivating, often nerve-wracking, and truthfully . . . rip-roaring
fun
*Fantasy Hive*
