I saw this in Blackwell's while I was in Oxford and HAD to buy it. It's just absolutely adorable and I love the disaster father that is Geralt of Rivia. Just super cute both in art style and story, 10/10, this is canon in my books

========Krótki opis znajdujący się z tyłu komiksu

"Świat zna go jako wiedźmina, słynnego Białego Wilka. Dla małej Ciri jest jednak po prostu… tatą. Jak każdy rodzic Geralt z Rivii staje na głowie by połączyć życie rodzinne z zawodowym. Różnica jest taka, że jego praca to polowanie na potwory."
================================
"Wiedźmineczka" ma dziś swoją premierę, tym samym jest to najnowszy z wiedźmińskich komiksów na ten moment. Różni się on jednak w znacznym stopniu od pozostałych, głównie tematyką.

Mamy tutaj do czynienia z wieloma krótkimi historiami związanymi z wychowywaniem małej Ciri. Ich długość wacha się od jednej do kilku stron. Cały komiks stron ma 80, a długość tych opowiadań wpływa na ich ilość w całym komiksie. Znajdziemy ich tam ponad 25!
==================================
Historie te są wypełnione ciepłem i codziennymi zmaganiami w wychowywaniu dzieci. Ukazują one sytuacje, które znajdą odbicie w prawdziwym świecie i pokazują dobrze to, z czym wiąże się wychowywanie. Geraltowi towarzyszy tam zaniepokojenie o bezpieczeństwo Ciri, zwykłe ludzkie zmęczenie, zabawy z małą wiedźminką i miłość do niej. Tym samym pokazuje to, z czym każdy rodzic ma do czynienia podczas opieki nad swoim dzieckiem. Różnica jest taka, że wszystko umieszczone zostaje właśnie w świecie Wiedźmina. Zobaczymy tam nie tylko Ciri i Geralta, ale również Yennefer, Eskela, Lamberta, Vesemira, Jaskra oraz Coena.
===================================
Historie te one świat z zupełnie innej perspektywy, co wydaje się logiczne, bo grupą docelową tego komiksu nie są tylko dorośli fani tego uniwersum. Mamy tu do czynienia z łagodnymi i przekolorowanymi wydaniami znanych nam postaci. W końcu treści mają być zrozumiałe nie tylko dla dorosłych. Założę się, że niejeden rodzic spędzi wieczór razem z dzieckiem przy tym komiksie. Ja dzieci nie mam, ale moje wewnętrzne dziecko było zadowolone i towarzyszyło mi cały czas podczas lektury.

Rysunki są wykonane w przyjemny dla oka sposób. Dominują pastelowe barwy, które nadają łagodny charakter całemu komiksowi. Kreska jest również dopasowana do treści, nie znajdziemy tam ostrych kształtów (co tylko powiela spokojny charakter całej tej pozycji).

Fani tego świata znajdą tam wiele szczegółów, które wywołają uśmiech na twarzy. Jednym z nich będzie widok Ciri grającej z Vesemirem w Gwinta lub zobaczenie jednego z pluszaków, który jest Trollem Sklepem z wcześniej wspomnianego Gwinta.
================================
Swoją drogą, muszę kiedyś zdobyć tego pluszaka...

Komiks wypadł w moich oczach naprawdę dobrze. Miło czasem zobaczyć odskocznię od tego brutalnego świata w postaci takiej pozycji!

Seguo Giada - l’illustratrice - da ormai tempo immemore su Instagram, e quando ho visto che ha illustrato questa meraviglia non ho potuto che comprarla.
Che dire? Ho amato ogni singola pagina, ogni singola battuta, ogni singola linea dei suoi disegni.
Ho visto ora che uscirà a breve anche tradotto in italiano e mi sono ricordata che avevo promesso a Giada di recensire questo libro bellissimo in tutti i luoghi e in tutti i laghi tanto l’ho amato, ma life happens quindi lo sto facendo solo ora.
Compratelo, leggetelo, amatelo, è sul mio scaffale dei libri preferiti dal 20 agosto.

Very cute collection of short stories. Obviously simplified for kids but still a very fun read as an adult Witcher fan. It's nice to see these characters having a nice time without terror and death together haha

[Figurra · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m a big fan of Witcher games & books, so I pretty much pick up every release.

I’ll admit when I first saw this, I wasn’t sure how Witcherverse would work for younger readers, but ohh my, I totally underestimated this lovely book!

The illustrations are fantastic, with a good mix of beloved characters, witcher lore & humor. It shows how much Geralt loves, protects & cares for the ever-mischievous little Ciri. This book reminded me of the start of Witcher 3 when they trained Ciri at Kaer Morhen.

My personal favorites: Little Witcher Bestiary, The Most Powerful Sign, Boys’ Night Out, School of the…, Ashenlock & the Three Bears, & Bedtime Quiz.

The Little Witcher is a delightful read for me & it goes well for Witcher fans of any age!

This was super cute!

[Lainy122 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute! A series of short comics, some funnier than others. Probably won't mean much to people who haven't seen the show/read the books/played the game, but a fun read for those who have.

przesłodka książeczka

[Arizona Harvey · Rating 5 out of 5]

HOLY F*CK THIS WAS SO ADORABLE AND FUNNY!! The whole time I was going "awwww" and "HAHA OMG". It's so ridiculous. Oh my god. It's so funny to see Geralt, a monster hunter and certified cold-hearted badass from both the games and show become this soft father over the daughter he adopted. And Ciri still kept that gremlin energy she had. It feels so uncanon to their characters, but also canon at the same time if possible.

This healed my inner child.

I love the Witcher. It is my favorite fantasy series across all forms of media- books, games, and television. Though I am yet to complete reading the series (I am on the Tower of the Swallow right now), when I saw this book, I had to grab it. I am not a child, nor do I have one, or ever plan on having one, but I am so glad I purchased the Little Witcher. My expectations were not super high, seeing as it is a children's book, but I was blown away.

I didn't expect it to be as long as it was, with as many short stories as it had. It melted my heart to see Ciri having the childhood in Kaer Morhen that she deserved. All the characters remained true to themselves, and the stories felt right at home in the Witcher universe. I adore Ciri's relationship with Geralt and the rest of the witchers with Dandelion and Yennefer.

The world of the Witcher is often so dark and gritty, and this book is a little beam of sunlight. It's a great introduction to the characters and I highly recommend it for any Witcher fan

[Joey · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a huge Witcher fan of both the books and the games...I still feel really upset that Yennefer's role in Ciri's life always feel really sidelined, when she should have been as important as Geralt. While the comics in this little book was adorable and satisfying, I still feel that they kept Yennefer too much as a side character. The comics are lighthearted and adorable, and fun to read. I especially loved the more heartwarming ones, such as Ashenlocks and the Three Bears. I would have loved more interaction between Ciri and the wolf school witchers too, like Eskel, Lambert and Coen...but I guess that is slightly too much to ask for.

All in all an enjoyable book! Though I think my expectations are always too high when I see Yennefer included on the covers. Sigh.

Forcing children follow a fandom, cult or sporting team is reprehensible. One could argue that making kids read is also bad (one could argue it, you will lose, but you could argue it). However, this graphic style, and the light-hearted way it uses the setting of the Witcher would be one way to go about it. The work in no way contributes anything to the Witcher myth, in fact it is very much non-canon it the way it mucks up chronology and character personalities; to the point of missing the raison d'être of the relationship between the two primary protagonists (Geralt & Ciri). Never-the-less, it was a quite jolly little piece and is recommended for any dead set fans.

ocena: 2,7 /5 🌻
forma: 📖

takie o… rozumiem pomysł, ale większość “opowiadań” bazowała na bardzo prostych schematach i nie opowiadała nic ciekawe a całość bardzo gryzła mi się z naturalnymi charakterami postaci, aczkolwiek takie o bajeczki do poczytania dla dziecka, nie żałuję, nie polecam, szybko zapomnę

Very cute. This isn't really a children's book, though I guess kids could probably have a good time reading it. The target audience is, of course, Witcher fans, or at least young at heart Witcher fans. The art is really cute while keeping the characters recognizable, and the writing is sweet without being syrupy. The focus is on the relationship between Geralt and Ciri, with Yennefer, Vesemir, and Dandelion making apperances.

[Lizzy · Rating 2 out of 5]

These would be maybe cute stumbling across one on Reddit. A whole book was boring. Cute art but the joke is the same over and over and it just seemed made to appeal to people who grew up with the game and are now parents or something. Boring stereotypical gender roles and Yennifer sidelined and just not super interesting character dynamics. Like a goofy fanfic with good art.

This thing is friggin' adorable.
