The Last Wish (Polish: Ostatnie życzenie) is the first (in its fictional chronology; published second in original Polish) of the two collections of short stories (the other being Sword of Destiny) preceding the main Witcher Saga, written by Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Polish edition was published in 1993 and the first English edition was first published in 2007. The book has also been translated into several other languages. The collection contains seven short stories interspersed with a continuing frame story: Geralt of Rivia, after having been injured in battle, rests in a temple. During that time he has flashbacks to recent events in his life, with each flashback forming a short story.

It's fine

The character writing at times felt very clunky; it felt a lot like they were over-explaining and giving more exposition than would make sense for the characters described. The narrative surrounding the short stories felt quite weak, to the point where I think I would have enjoyed another short story in its place, and have all the stories be unconnected from one another. I might edit/update this once I read the first book of the Witcher series, and say if I think it's worth reading before it.
