New to reading, the only books I've ever really read in my life are harry potter, Percy Jackson, and the hobbit. Figured I'd ease my way into the real adult stuff by starting out with a mature fantasy.

Just read Heaney's translation of Beowulf if you want an entry level fantasy. Its short, action filled, and easy to comprehend whilst the Witcher novels are overly long and plagued with somewhat boring political intrigue.

Witcher books are only good if you are slav, other translations kinda ruins it.

yeah, translations are bad, but the history itself is quite good. read the books, then play the games. You will have a nice experience

Because translating Slavrunes to English doesn't work that well; and the books are heavy with Slavic folklore.
