Diego Thomsen answers “Is is necessary to read "The Last Wish"...”

Alba asked this question about Blood of Elves (The Witcher, #1):

Is is necessary to read "The Last Wish" and "Sword of Destiny" before reading "Blood of Elves"? I can't find "The Last Wish" anywhere but would like to read the saga... Thanks!

In Sword of Destiny there are two important stories as well, Sword of Destiny and Something More (still not gonna spoil them). The other stories just provide a bit of background on some characters (Dandelion, Mother Nenneke, etc.) and provide some cool easter eggs for the games (like how Geralt got the nickname the Butcher of Blaviken or that time Yennefer says they were hunting a dragon).
If you just want the important stuff just read the summaries on the wiki page, but if you want to read everything you can find them on Amazon.
Hope it helps.(less)
