Before it was a video game or Netflix series, The Witcher was a book series penned by Andrzej Sapkowski, and if you’ve only played the games or seen the TV show, you’re missing out on some of the most iconic fantasy novels in recent memory. Catching up will require you to flip through thousands of pages of action, but at least you can do it for cheap, as several of the original books, along with spin-off comics and manga, are currently discounted at Amazon.
New readers will want to start with The Complete Witcher Saga 5-novel box set, as it covers the vast majority of Geralt’s journey. It’s also close to its lowest-ever price, at $39.50 (down from $90). The collection includes updated cover designs and a sleeve to store the volumes when you’re not reading them. Despite the collection’s name, it’s not the full series, but you’re still getting five great books. This box set includes:
- Blood of Elves
- The Time of Contempt
- Baptism of Fire
- The Tower of Swallows
- Lady of the Lake
For something smaller, you can check out The Witcher Stories Box Set, which gets you two more books, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. It’s down to $20 (was $35). To round out these collections, you can grab Season of Storms, the eighth book in Geralt’s journey. Consider picking it up now even if you won’t get to it for a while, as it’s discounted to $12.49 (down from $18).
Beyond books, you’ll find a nice collection of comics and manga on sale, including the 440-page Witcher Omnibus Comic Series for $18 (down from $30) and The Witcher: Ronin for $12 (down from $20). Plenty of other great books are on sale, and you’ll even find a hilarious Witcher 3 statuette on sale that depicts Geralt relaxing in a tub with his rubber ducky. Consider picking up your own rubber duck, along with a book, to unwind like the world’s most famous witcher.
