The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Im enjoying it because its beautiful written and the world is more original than most fantasy i have read in long time. He does good things to with his dark fairy tale world, the slavic mythology is interesting too. Although its not easy if you dont know what some of the monsters are.
If there is someone that are good with that mythology or knows a good site who have info on Rusalka and all the other beings,creatures it would help.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoy different kind of epic fantasy. Im glad i randomly tried this book and author. I love the short story format too that are connected. It reminds me somehow about Vance's Dying Earth. The quality writing, the world being almost like another world. Which is good, im alittle sick most fantasy of that kind copiying badly medevil europe almost always....
