Reading witcher in english is fascinating. Even though its translated directly from Polish, English sometimes flattens the raw, gritty Slavic wit, but the dark atmosphere still punches through. I love how this book tears down pretty fairy tales. It shows a magical world ruined by ugly human realities such as injustice, racism, and violence. It proves that no matter the universe, human nature always brings the same disgusting problems. Since I’ve played all the games, I didn't have to build this world from scratch. I felt like I was returning home, totally immersed from page one. Plus, every character is so distinct you instantly adopt them. Dandelion, especially, is brilliant, his dramatic bard energy perfectly balances the grim reality. The core of the book for me is Geralt. He acts like a heartless mutant who only kills for coin, forcing himself to believe he has no feelings because society expects him to be cold. But underneath, he is incredibly soft hearted. I related to him deeply. People often call me emotionless too. But I know how much I actually care. When it matters, sometimes I act way more thoughtful and genuinely considerate than the people who constantly brag about how sensitive they are. Like Geralt, being guarded doesn't mean you don't feel. Some dislike that this is just a collection of scattered short stories, but I think it’s the perfect, low pressure gateway into the universe. It’s a fun, easy read that makes you feel both the darkness of the world and the hidden warmth of its hero.
I like the caste system in the book to the head of the characters
Those who come are above the psychology of losing
It was nice to read the effect it created.
The author ended us in such a beautiful place and left us curious
Congratulations should be said. I can't wait to read more.
The only thing I don't like is that I've been coming across it often lately
Incest relationships. Falling in love with her stepbrother, sexuality
It was disgusting that they lived.

“You have no idea what it takes to stand by anyone. You certainly don’t know what it takes to stand by a child. Mom did that. And when Mom couldn’t, I tried to finish the job. No, scratch that. I didn’t try to finish the job. I did finish the job. Because look at them. They are all talented and smart and good—and, sure, we’re not perfect. But we have integrity. We know something about loyalty. We are there for each other. And all of that is because Mom and I did a great job. You… you have done nothing despite how capable you probably could have been if you gave half a shit. But because you weren’t here, we learned how to go on without you.”
I have to say, I love Taylor Jenkins Reid! This story is told from different perspectives. I really enjoyed this because I felt every moment and emotion, and everything else that was important. This made me feel everything. I guess I love all the characters because they seem real. Nina is the strongest woman in the book. Honestly, I loved every moment of this book because I connected with it so much that I cried a lot. Actually, I don’t know what to think because this story is really heartbreaking. I’m really sorry for June because she didn’t deserve this. Mick is a really disgusting person, and I hated him. Did I start believing in impossible heroes? June and Nina, of course. In the book, Nina raises her siblings and grows up with them. Even though Mick is a terrible father, his children are great people. Honestly, my favorite characters in the book were June and all the children, including Casey. No child deserves a bad parent like that. No one deserves such a terrible person. The world is an unfair place because of people like that. No one's heart is your playground. Please be nice to your own children and family. This is more
Kafka had a lot of grief and issues in his personal life which reflected in his writings. In reality he felt trapped, unable to live as he pleased. And so, many of his stories are about people who are trapped, are desperate and hopeless.
His most famous work "The Metamorphosis" is about a man who wakes up to find himself metamorphosed into something disgusting. And suddenly he's unwanted, unattractive, his own family shuns him. In his book "The Castle" his protagonist is trapped in a vast labyrinth of bureaucracy whereas in "the Trial", his protagonist is charged for a crime he isn't even told
The world is a crazy, unjust place where people are blind to everything that's going wrong around them: about people being controlled and suppressed by family, friends and the society, about injustice and about apathy driven by selfishness. Kafka stories depict this craziness. There's pain in his stories, he manages to send his readers into utter gloom, probably a little bit of how he himself felt about his own life. Kafka used this beautiful literary technique to depict how people are indifferent to things that are wrong in this world. In his stories, he used surrealism, which are often unpleasant and disturbing. But his characters accept it as normal. For example in Metamorphosis, his protagonist wakes up one morning to discover he's not a human anymore but something else. But no one including the protagonist, wonders how did it happen. They behave as if it's completely normal for human beings to change permanently into something else. They even adjust their lives accordingly. And all this while, the reader keeps wondering "How can they act normally?”
5/5 Stars (%96/100)
The beginning of the end...As a great man once said: May your name be forever forgotten Griffith. The author really makes you fall in love with Griffith and we feel admiration for him like Guts, Casca and many many others. And then boom rock bottom. I don't think I feel a strong hate against any kind of villain except for Griffith. This was so intense and disgusting. Miura does an amazing job portraying despair and I realized I was holding my breath during all these. I also really like Skull Knight and I'm wondering was he wasn't included in the 1997 anime. From this point on, everything will be new to me as I've only watched the old anime. Great volume, infuriating but great.

Gad SAAD. I could have written you something nice. Really. If you hadn't used the phrase "Performative revolution by pampered and lobotomized fools." Remember? I'm not against thinking and producing; I'm with you. But oops! I'm a Muslim too. What does THAT mean to you? Isn't it a bad thing? Exactly. I don't know if anyone has said it before, but all you do is victim literature, Dr. Sir. The West is down, the East is up. Where is a human being? Forget about that. You don't have the capacity to understand that the disgusting things you say about Islam are human-made. Islam is not a sick culture; it is the last religion revealed and perfected. What's sick are the ideas of people like you. I respect people; not ridiculous ideas. Someone who calls Islam "Suicidal Empathy." What a waste of words.
Gad SAAD, baş bulaşıcı fikirperest sensin; sağduyu desen sıfırın altında eksi derece, etiketleyebilsem etiketlerdim; yukarıdaki fikirlerimi bizzat iletirdim.
Hani hem yazmaya değer bulmadığınız hem de ondan dolayı ille de içinizden atmak istediğiniz duygular vardır. İŞTE kitap bunu yaşattı bana. Yani ırkçı değil insanca yaklaşacağım, en basit meselede bile ırkçılığını ya da en azından nefret ettiği ırkın karşı tarafında gördüğü, yakın bulduğu olayı , kişiyi empoze etmeye çalışıyor örneğin;
"Sevgili anne babalar, müsterih olun. Doğru şartları sağladığınız sürece çocuğunuz bir sonraki Lionel Messi (muhtemelen gelmiş geçmiş en iyi futbolcu) ya da Albert Einstein olabilir. Biyolojinin (ve aklıselimin) reddinde vücut bulan, ciddi anlamda ümit verici bir mesaj bu."
Messi iyi bir futbolcu. Peki gerçekten en iyisi mi? Ya da bu taahhüt edilebilir mi? Kaká'nın %52'e çıktığı zamanlar var. Futbolu sevmeyebilirim ama gerizekalı da değilim. Ya da Messi'den iyi forvet değilimdir ama iyi
