    As a grumpy old man I identify with Geralt, "the anachronistic and stupid Witcher", more and more. This is the kind of protagonist I can relate to.

    I love the Witcher's universe and enjoy this audiobook version very much, especially the impression of Dandelion. Many thanks for sharing it here!
    P.S. What Netflix did to the original story is absolutely criminal.

      The writers, director, and show runner all admitted either to hating the books or never having read them. Only Henry ever like the Witcher.

      ​​ @realistic_delinquent what an astounding lack of class consciousness. Yeah, condemn all the writers on strike because the ones who wrote on this specific show suck ass and show contempt for the fan base. _Makes_ _perfect_ _sense_ for a working class person to think like that...

      @@gwynbleidd1917while I agree with the basis of your point- I think we can agree that Hollywood has been crashing and burning badly. And let’s be honest, there are about 5 shows that are still going that are worth watching. The golden age of Hollywood making non-shit movies and shows has long passed. Let’s count the current tv shows with good writing: The Bear, The last of us……………. Yeah that’s about it.

      @shades1159 i mean, I don't disagree with that either, but it still sounds like politically illiterate chud shit to condemn a whole large group of working class people because you don't like their work. It shows the absolute lack of class consciousness in average americans. And I'll go further. Is it the writers fault for certain when a show is bad? Or the producer? Or the showrunner? The actors? Or is it a case by case type deal? Or maybe it's actually systemic and actually rooted to our socioeconomic system??

      Not just American Indians. A bunch of native European and poles and pretty much every other group and sub group on the earth at one time or another. If anything the American Indians are the least similar in many ways. American Indians aren’t the only humans that have been on the losing side of battles and civilization.

    I must say: poor translation. The very first example: "she was wicked" doesnt match at all. It should be simply "wasnt a good witch". Much more delicate, to say the least.
    The rest isnt better. But it was interesting to hear a bit of the book in english.
