Review

When it comes to fantasy audiobooks that truly come alive in your ears, few can rival the immersive power of “The Last Wish” – and much of that magic is thanks to Peter Kenny’s outstanding narration. From the first whispered word to the last climactic scene, Kenny effortlessly embodies Geralt of Rivia’s stoic gravitas while giving distinct voices and personalities to every supporting character and monster alike. His emotional range captures both the gritty darkness and wry humor at Sapkowski’s core – a performance as rich as any spell cast in The Witcher’s storied universe.

But even beyond vocal artistry, what sets “The Last Wish” apart is its structure: not merely one tale but six interconnected stories framed by Geralt’s recuperation after battle. This design invites listeners into vignettes teeming with unexpected twists – moral quandaries where monsters aren’t always monstrous, humans aren’t always heroes, and fairy tales unravel into something darker yet deeply human. Sapkowski draws heavily from Slavic folklore while subverting Western fantasy tropes; each story brims with originality, cleverness, and sly commentary on fate versus choice.

For fans coming from video games or Netflix adaptations – or anyone brand new – the collection offers an ideal entry point into The Witcher saga. You’ll discover why Geralt isn’t just another sword-swinging antihero; he’s conflicted yet compassionate in ways rarely seen in epic fantasy. Side characters are no less compelling: sorceresses with ambiguous motives, talkative bards (hello Dandelion!), villagers hiding secrets – and creatures whose motivations mirror our own flawed humanity.

Sapkowski’s prose transitions beautifully into audio format here: dialogue crackles with wit; world-building feels lived-in without bogging down pace; action scenes thrum with energy but never lose clarity. And throughout it all is that rare sense that anything might happen next – a testament not only to Sapkowski’s imagination but also Kenny’s ability to keep tension taut across shifting tones.

It should be noted for some listeners that these are short stories rather than a single continuous narrative – but for many (myself included), that’s part of their charm: each chapter offers a fresh adventure while contributing layers to Geralt’s enigmatic character.

Whether you’re revisiting old favorites or meeting The White Wolf for the first time, “The Last Wish” promises – and delivers – a uniquely memorable listen.
