Heartwarming

Sword of Destiny is a must read for anyone that is planning on playing Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as it serves as a great introduction for the main characters. Also, a brilliant performance once again by the talented Peter Kenny.

Enthralling, but the characters...

Love the stories, but so many characters are just awful people, even main characters.

Insane

This whole series is one of the best I’ve read or listened too, next to lord of the rings and the song of ice and fire it’s probably my favourite. Amazing story teller.
