A quick note on the reading order: definitely follow the recommendations. 1. The Last Wish (4 stars). 2. Sword of Destiny (4 stars). 3. Blood of Elves (3 stars). 4. Time of Contempt (3 stars). 5. Baptism of Fire (3 stars). 6. The Tower of the Swallow (3 stars). 7. Lady of the Lake (1 star). 8. Season of Storms (2 stars). Also for those wondering, these books take place before the video games, so probably read them before playing the games if you're interested in that.
