Not going to lie, picked this up with all Netflix hype of The witcher. Ended up enjoying a lot but would have appreciated to bundle up the entire 'Fox Children' story in a single book. I ended up returning one and getting a new one in 5-10 minutes from kindle unlimited.
For the rating, I am going to rate all Fox Children 3 except for the #1. In my opinion, the entire series deserves 3.5 or 4 stars really.
Gotta learn to pick your fights. It's like love -- sometimes you need to let 'em go.

This one is taking time to build up for me, however, it is still an interesting read. I'll see how it plays out...and nearly done. 5 chapters, or comics in one (making it a graphic novel). I like the graphics, and reading it on my computer/phone/laptop.
Illusion, all is illusion (end quote from the reading); and therefore, it was difficult to see what was real and fantasy. The last chapter of the book was really good, and grateful for a happy ending.

I’m new to this genre. Not sure it’s for me? The first bit involves making fun of a fat dwarf, so that was a turnoff, the way they punched down, instead of up.
Also pretty male-dominated, which is... fine, I guess, if you’re into that kind of thing? The female nudity is gratuitous unfortunately.
I do, however, like a good story of foolish men, and this one has plenty. Also, I like stories where there’s not a clear villain. So... mixed. I don’t think I’ll read more in this series.

A Nice Little Witcher Story
I remember reading this story in one of The Witcher Books. It's a nice little story but what I love the most is how sensible Geralt was. He's a warrior with unique abilities and yet he's not arrogant and always know his limits. Recommended.

Great comic
Love the story and illustrations. I have really enjoyed reading these comics. This one is actually a retelling of one of the stories from the Witcher books.

I’d actually rate this 2.5. I liked the dwarf. The rest of the plot and characters were banal.

Very interesting
Has some good characters and an interesting storyline. Illustrations are great too. It has ended leaving me wanting to read more

I'd forgotten how
good
the Witcher comics tend to be. Mature, well written, and very clever.
Witcher stories always have nice little twists and secrets to them, and this one was no exception. It was interesting, dark, and funny all at the same time. I didn't realize how much I had missed Geralt of Rivia and his hipster ponytail until picking up another of his adventures. The "monster" for this one sounds VERY interesting. A nice mix of kitsune lore with a more western take on it. One of the Witcher's shining points has always been how unique and diverse the monsters and beasts are, taking elements from all over the world. Monsters that are well known like werewolves and ghosts, and mixing them with ones that aren't as well known like Leshen and Striga. This time seems to be no exception, and it's always refreshing to see how Geralt will handle all the crap that gets thrown at him.
The first volume in a series of five. I look forward to reading the rest later on!

Amazing story completely based on Sapowski ' Storm's Season last installment about our beloved Witcher. The story here presented is a visual interpretation (since the dialogs are an exact copy to the T )of those in the book. Very well done. And maybe is because this close to creator inspiration that this one is much better than the House of glass which was closer to the video game tune and farther from the books. One thing bothers me though, the way Paul Robin explain the fact Geralt is without swords in the crucial moment, and that is the story Storms Season is following. Good job, but next time would be better to say it's a visual interpretation of one of Sapowski 's works and not a mere "inspiration", just saying.

Another real good installment in the series.This one containing a dwarf and a elf along with Geralt The Witcher.Most of the story takes place at sea and as in the first volume the suspense begins to grow with each page turned.Geralts character is so well written that he could carry a book all by his lonesome.Plenty of action,interesting monsters,and hilarious moments,all add up to make a really enjoyable story.
