Geralt of Revia returns in Paul Tobin’s The Witcher series by Dark Horse!

(Slight spoilers from The Witcher #1 appear.)

When we last left Jakob and Geralt they were standing in front of a large house in the middle of the Black Forest.  The foreboding house’s front door was open, inviting them in, tempting them.  The appearance of Marta, Jakob’s long-dead wife, on a balcony piqued the pair’s curiosity while certainly causing them to exercise caution.  As the pair entered the house, it became apparent that the house held many secrets, some seductive and others deadly.

Tobin’s second entry into The Witcher started off slowly enough.  There was a little bit of exposition but not really any satisfying explanations.  I didn’t know what to expect going in, but by the time I had arrived  at the “To be continued” panel I was intrigued .  Saying this is not intended to be a slight since the second book plays the important role of laying an intriguing foundation for the third entry to the series.  I just wish that there had been a little more revelation… or that The Witcher #3 would hurry up and release.

By Kenney Newville

Kenney Newville was born in California but raised in Missouri. This left him very confused: he spoke much quicker than everyone else around him, but he was comfortable with the lower Midwest prices. Kenney spent his first year of college living in a Benedictine monastery, something that every young man in the 21st century did. After realizing the monastery wasn’t hard-core enough for him, he decided to move back to his home town of St. Joseph, MO to finish school. During his quest for a history diploma, he became indebted to GameStop and worked there in indentured servitude for one and a half years. Eventually, after getting married, Kenney escaped and travelled to the Far East to find himself. He taught English as a Second Language in South Korea for 16 months and, after the whole Korean peninsula learned to speak fluent American, he was forced to return home and find a real job. When he's not working, you can find him gaming, writing about games, or discussing them on the Gaming @ 30 podcast.
