The Last Wish

A huge nostalgia trip. I used to read the Wither books when I was in high school and I absolutely loved them. After many years I decided to give the English version a try. And I didn't like it at all.

So I left the rest of the series and didn't continue. Recently I found the fan translation in English and since the book isn't very long I decided to give it another go. What a difference! Everything I remembered was there and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It's incredible how big of a difference the translation makes. The fan translation is definitely closer to the original material and I was surprised to find no glaring mistakes or editing errors. It was great and I plan on reading the rest of the series again. I will try switching between the official and fan translations and see how it goes.

Now if only they released a hard-cover collectors edition of the entire saga... oh one can dream!
