Book description
If you've ever rolled your eyes at "heroic quests" but secretly crave a hero who'd rather sip schnapps than save the damsel, The Last Wish is your new obsession. And yes, the audiobook version? Pure magic. Imagine Geralt of Rivia-witcher, monster-hunter, and master of deadpan one-liners-spilling his secrets into your ear while a gravelly-voiced narrator nails his weary, sarcastic charm. It's like getting the inside scoop from a friend who's seen way too many goblins and still has time for a drink.
Sapkowski's genius? He's got monsters who steal your dignity (looking at you, gnomes), heroes who'd rather be anywhere else, and a world where "evil" often wears a pretty face. The audiobook leans into that perfectly-every snarky line about "monsters who eat your dignity" lands like a punchline, and the narrator's dry pauses make you snort-laugh into your coffee. Seriously, the scene where Geralt debates whether a haunted forest is "cozy" or "a death trap"? Chef's kiss.
You don't just read Geralt's world-you live it. The audiobook's pacing is spot-on, weaving in the book's signature wit ("Not all monsters are hideous, and not all heroes are brave") without slowing down. You'll find yourself nodding along to his moral gray zones: "Yeah, I kill things, but hey, they tried to eat my lunch." It's not just fantasy-it's a love letter to stories where the "good" guy's probably just tired and wants a quiet night.
And that ending? Chef's kiss. You'll be hitting "repeat" for the next chapter before you even realize you've finished. No wonder it's the reason Netflix's Witcher exists. (Though, fair warning: after this, all other fantasy will feel like a boring fairy tale. Sorry, Lord of the Rings.)
Bottom line: If you want a story that's sharp, funny, and makes you question everything you thought you knew about heroes? The Last Wish is the audiobook you didn't know you needed. Just... maybe don't listen while eating. You'll laugh so hard, you'll choke on your snack. (And yes, the narrator does say "gnomes" like they're the worst thing since bad cheese. You're welcome.)
