Waiting on Wednesday 10/25/17
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Season of Storms by Andrzej Sapkowski (April 17, 2018 by Orbit Books)
Geralt of Rivia AKA The Witcher is one of my favorite fantasy characters ever, so it’s good to know we’ll be joining him once again next spring in a new novel finally being translated into English by David French. Originally published in Polish in 2013, Season of Storms is not a sequel continuing the main saga, but rather a standalone prequelin which readers will learn the origin story of our iconic protagonist.
“The New York Times bestselling series that inspired the Witcher video games.
Geralt of Riveria. A witcher whose mission is to protect ordinary people from the monsters created with magic. A mutant who has the task of killing unnatural beings. He uses a magical sign, potions and the pride of every witcher — two swords, steel and silver. But what would happen if Geralt lost his weapons?
In this standalone novel, Geralt fights, travels and loves again, Dandelion sings and flies from trouble to trouble, sorcerers are scheming … and across the whole world clouds are gathering – the season of storms is coming…”

OH – this is a standalone??? It sounds awesome and I love the cover. So cool that a video game was inspired by the author’s books. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it, Mogsy!
Have a great week. =)

Yeah, usually it’s books and tie-ins based on games, but in this case it’s the opposite. Just goes to show how awesome his books are 😀

I remember hearing a few things about this series and to be honest, I forgot all about it. I may see if my library has one so I can give it a try. I have to admit the concept sounds like something I’d like. The cover of this one is stunning!

I think I added book one in the series to wishlist as part of my ‘lets try fantasy’ plan for next year!

This is a series that’s just never been on my radar, but if you love the character then it must be amazing! Plus this looks like a good place for newbies to start.

I have yet to give Sapkowski a read. His books sound great, but I’m cautious of video game adaptions.

The games are adapted from his work and not the other way around, so you don’t have to be worried about that 🙂

A standalone prequel sounds like the perfect way to sample Sapkowski’s writing without committing to a series: I’ve always wanted to add his works to my reading queue, and this seems exactly what I need. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

And it’s the origin story for Geralt! It’s going to be good, I think 🙂

I still haven’t read this author but I’m pretty sure I have a book (or two) on my wishlist. I like the idea of a prequel.
