For many, Geralt de Rivia has become a great hero, even though it is certainly not the goal he wants to accomplish. Marking his goal of keeping a life away from trouble, the well-known white wolf always just wrapped up in terrible situations. Either facing all kinds of monsters by contracts or, simply, because some of his friends, those who mainly do not want to admit he has, have ended up getting into some mess.
But although for many The Witcher It is limited to the world of video games with the adventures created by CD Projekt RED, the reality goes further. And it is that his story began with short stories that, later, ended up becoming 9 great books that, today, serve as inspiration for the series, which has already become a mass success. But it is possible that if you have just joined this fantastic world, some doubts arise that we are willing to answer.
What story goes before? The one of the video games or the one of the books?
This answer is really known among fans but a mystery to those who have started the series. And, unlike what many believe, video games take history as a reference from the books. Sometimes we find references to some of the events set out in the books, with their varied adventures and side missions.
Of course, this leads to moments when we feel a little lost, especially when those references seem to have much more importance of what they indicate. But if you want to follow closely the mentions of the series, then we explain how you can read the books to follow a chronological order that makes you enjoy the adventure from the first second.
Chronological order to enjoy the Geralt de Rivia saga
Although many will say that the order of editing is correct, the reality is that the story has small leaps that will make reading much more enjoyable with another order. One of the best known proposals is this:
Another very popular chronological order among fans of the saga is the following:
The Last Wish (1993)
Storm Season (2013)
The sword of destiny (1992)
The Blood of the Elves (1994)
Hate Time (1995)
Baptism of Fire (1996)
The Swallow Tower (1997)
The Lady of the Lake (1999)
Road without return (2000)
The only change present in both recommended orders is ‘Storm station’Since it is considered one of the prequels and, therefore, many believe that it should be positioned in second place. But what these books undoubtedly demonstrate is that Geralt de Rivia has a great story to tell and all kinds of adventures that we cannot miss.
