This introduces Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher with powers and training that enable him to kill monsters (for money). I can understand how this made a good TV series as it's very episodic in nature, which fits the TV format perfectly, but there are no continuing consequences. It’s first-this-happens-and-then-that-happens, but it’s not first-this-happens-and-because-this-happens-that-happens. In other words, this is a series of novellas, unrelated except for the main character. It's not a novel with a single storyline, and characterisation remains at a surface level throughout. Peter Kenny does a good job on the narration, but I won’t be reading any more of these. Watching the TV series is better
