Two The Witcher Books Climbed The New York Times Best-Seller List Following Netflix Show Debut
Netflix?s The Witcher has caused an explosion in the series? popularity, driving many to return to the video games, the card and board games, and create covers of the show?s ?Toss a Coin to Your Witcher? song. The series? books, from which the show and games are derived, have also enjoyed a spike in sales, so much so that two entries have become best-sellers since the show?s debut. Written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski (who has penned all books in the series), The Last Wish and Blood of Elves have climbed The New York Times best-seller list, sitting at numbers 4 and 12, respectively.
The Last Wish released in 1993, while Blood of Elves made its debut in 1994. This makes their inclusion on the NYT best-seller list noteworthy, considering their age, and it?s all thanks to the release of The Witcher Netflix show. The Last Wish is a collection of six short stories on which most of The Witcher Netflix series is based. It features tales of how Geralt came to be known as the Butcher of Blaviken, his hunt of the Striga, and of course, the infamous ?last wish? that linked him and Yennefer. Blood of Elves is the first official book of the main series storyline, from which the Ciri portions of the Netflix show were pulled.
