Excellent news for anybody who will not be watching the Hemsworth-helmed Witcher Netflix present: Creator Andrzej Sapkowski has confirmed that he is engaged on a brand new guide within the authentic sequence, and he thinks it’s going to be prepared quickly. No phrase but on whether or not it is going to be appropriate for Individuals and younger individuals.
In an interview with the fantasy writers over at Ukrainian YouTube channel Incredible Talks (translated by Witcher fansite Redanian Intelligence), Sapkowski revealed that he’s “fairly diligently” engaged on a brand new guide within the Witcher sequence and that it “could take a 12 months, however not”. As somebody who continues to attend stoically for the arrival of The Winds of Winter, I don’t know how one can course of this type of accelerated timeframe, however I am glad a minimum of one fantasy viewers out there’s consuming nicely.
Type of nicely, anyway. It is solely been 5 years since Sapkowski’s final Witcher guide—Season of Storms—bought printed in English, however that was 5 years after its authentic Polish publication. That is nonetheless a fairly very long time to attend when you’ve been champing on the bit for extra of Sapkowski’s Geralt, however a minimum of we will assume the English translation of the subsequent one shall be a bit faster given how completely large The Witcher is as a model now.
Sapkowski gave no trace as to what the subsequent guide shall be about, however Redanian Intelligence adroitly famous an interview the writer gave in 2018 the place he mentioned that—each time he bought round to writing a brand new guide—it could very doubtless be a “prequel or sidequel,” reasonably than a follow-on to The Woman of the Lake, the ultimate Witcher story within the sequence’ timeline (not counting the video games, which Sapkowski would not think about correct canon).
I have not truly seen any of Netflix’s Witcher past the very first episode, which implies I am mercifully aloof from quite a lot of the furore that appears to encompass actually each dialogue of it on-line. I have lately began studying the novels after a website referred to as PC Gamer dot com advised me the most effective studying order for the Witcher books, although, and I am glad so as to add one other one to my to-read pile.
