What a plethora of covers. On Kindle I've got the Netflix cover. My favorites might be the mysterious lizard on a skull and the yellow/blue/green hued old fashioned D&D style cover.

I've played some of all three Witcher video games and watched most of the Netflix series. I have an idea about what to expect and am most interested in Geralt's creation story and some exciting fight scenes.

Translated works can also have trouble conveying the author's meaning and contextualizing regional expressions/ideas. In this case I'm interested in seeing the Witcher's interpersonal relationships and how his attitude towards others is portrayed. Will it match the games and Netflix show?

I have the last cover on the top row. This is one of the cheesier covers based on the Netflix show which I am watching and enjoying. I prefer some of the more traditional or austere covers that remind me of A Song of Fire and Ice books. I'm looking forward to finding out how the book differs from the TV series.

I have the same Netflix cover. I think the simpler cover third from the left on the top row is the best of the bunch, it looks to me like the emblem of the wolf school that I recognize from the Witcher video game. I have only played the most recent Witcher video game, but I enjoyed it immensely.
