    Is it worth reading? I’ve played Witcher 3 and saw the first (sometimes good, sometimes shit) series of the show, but never read any…

      All of the books are worth reading! Start with the short stories then move onto the longform books. There’s also a collection of Audible rips floating around the high seas too that are quite high quality. Also for how much of a reputation the brand has for salaciousness, the books are actually quite tame most of the time, and some of the stories are clearly inspired by the same source material as many of the classic Disney princess movies.

      Honestly I also thoroughly enjoyed all of the Netflix media for The Witcher too. Blood origin was a fun prequel, and the animes do a good job of giving kind an alternate approach to the series that’s equally good.
