So for Christmas along with buying the usual gift cards for the family I like to get myself a book series. I also decided to buy my first Manga. With the Manga I decided to see if I can find a cheap copy of Fist of the Notth Star since I saw it a few months ago and love it. If I can’t find it I’ll get Robotech since it’s the first anime I ever was exposed to thanks to my older brother.
I’ve been debating between the Witcher or Elric books. I’ve been told since I like Conan and Ice and Fire books I’d love Elric but since Witcher is being butchered I kinda want to read it (similar reason why I bought Wheel of Times books when the show was announced). I eventually plan on getting the other book series in early spring but which should I buy first?
I liked the first Witcher book a lot, it has interesting takes on various monsters. It is an entertaining read.
Cool! Thanks. What sucks about the show is that I remember Cavill being so passionate about it an instead of utilizing his knowledge they decided to do their own thing
It also doesn't have much in terms of the later overarching plot, as far as I remember, so you can easily not read the rest.
The Last Wish can indeed be treated as just a collection of short stories, but those stories do lay down the foundation of the saga and load up the Chekhov's guns (especially in "The Question of Price").
Absolutely possible as I have read it years ago.
