The Witcher Library Edition Volume 2

Was a gift for my bf for Christmas. He’s pretty obsessed with The Witcher so of course he loved it!! ❤️

But if this is close to it, I’ll be happy!

First, I would like to say amazon shipping failed as the box was too big for the book and the book's corners were all dinged up upon arrival, I assume from sliding around during shipping.Second, the stories themselves I felt were not great and the endings did not make me feel Geralt had accomplished anything for himself or for those he did tasks for except for maybe one. And finally, the illustrations were meh.

I may not be a really big fan of the cover art again, but the volume itself is amazing inside. I really like this series of art better than the first and that brings it closer to my heart. I'd love to see this trend continue and making my library edition collection grow. Great weight to the book, great page gloss, great size. Big fan of these and it's easy to recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first library edition of Witcher comics written by Paul Tobin, and was really looking forward to the second volume. I preordered it as soon as it was announced and waited in anticipation for months.Then I got the thing.First thing: Paul Tobin is no longer the writer, and the writers who replace him are not up to the task. None of these stories works as well as Tobin's in the first volume.Then we have the art. The art in the first book was uneven but largely suited the tales, and the flow of the visual storytelling worked well with the writing. The art in this book ranges from serviceable to terrible, and the narrative flow of story and art are likewise not great.This was a deep disappointment, unworthy of the library format and, especially, the price. It's like Dark Horse approached The Witcher franchise with care early on, crafting stories that meshed well with the Witcher tales in other media, and then abruptly abandoned it to people unable to maintain the quality.Cannot recommend.

Lots of cool Witcher moments. Plenty dark and twisty. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of the books or games.

I have reviewed each of the comics that this collects already and the reviews can be seen with those books. What's new here is a 10 page short story that I'd rate 2/5. But as a whole, the comics are well worth reading and nicely collected here.Once Upon a Time in Woods short story: The story is a short little interlude thrown into the omnibus after the collected comics. I almost liked this quite a bit - the art is bright and clear and the story feels more comedic and filled with levity than most Witcher stories. However, the 'twist' feels wrong and unsatisfying. The beginning is a bit fun but forgettable. Even as an additional throw-away story at the end of a collection this feels unnecessary. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

If you’re a Witcher fan in any way, this is a great item to have! It’s a hardback book has great page thickness and the quality of stories and art are wonderful!

This is a massive volume. I made the mistake of ordering the library edition hardback instead of the smaller paperback that's due out later this year. This dosent match my first volume now, oh well. If you like the Witcher you can't go wrong, just wish I waited for the cheaper edition.

Arrived with a big dent on the spine but decided to keep it as the rest of the book was fine.

Como siempre con estas ediciones, todo lo mejor y más cuidado va en ellas. Tamaño GRANDE Absolute, la mejor calidad de impresión y gramaje alto en un buen número de páginas con la mejor encuadernación.

It's a huge and really heavy book that could really use some extra protection instead of "letter" type of cardboard packaging. Book had too much room inside the package to move freely. Id rather break the corners my self than let poor package do the job for me.
