With multiple new gaming projects on the horizon, a massive wave of fans is turning back to Andrzej Sapkowski’s original book series to fully comprehend the deep lore underpinning the digital world. But where should an aspiring lore-expert actually begin?
Many newcomers make the common mistake of diving straight into the main novels. However, the absolute best and chronologically correct experience begins with the short story collections. It is within “The Last Wish” and “Sword of Destiny” that we first meet Geralt of Rivia, understand his volatile romance with Yennefer of Vengerberg, and witness how the absolute cosmic force of the Law of Surprise bound his life to Princess Ciri.
Here at witchersaga.com, we have structured the complete, definitive reading order from the very first short story to the epic conclusion of “The Lady of the Lake,” ensuring you are fully armed with lore knowledge before the next gaming generation releases.
