For enthusiasts of intricate fantasy worlds and complex protagonists, Amazon`s current Early Prime Day promotions present a particularly compelling offer. Andrzej Sapkowski`s esteemed The Witcher Saga 5-Book Box Set is now available at a remarkably steep discount.
Previously listed at $90, this collection, housed in a slipcased paperback format, can currently be acquired for just $35. This reduction represents one of the most significant price points observed for this specific compilation in recent history. Initially positioned as an exclusive benefit for Prime subscribers, the promotion has since been expanded for general access.
Individuals familiar with Geralt of Rivia`s exploits through CD Projekt Red`s critically lauded video games or Netflix`s popular adaptation will find this deal an excellent gateway to the foundational source material. It offers an opportunity to engage directly with the narratives and characterizations conceived by Sapkowski that inspired these subsequent works.
The contents of this `Saga` set comprise the central five novels that follow the initial short story collections, forming the primary narrative arc:
- Blood of Elves
- The Time of Contempt
- Baptism of Fire
- The Tower of Swallows
- The Lady of the Lake
Securing the set at the $35 price point effectively reduces the cost per volume to a mere $7. Considering the combined page count exceeds 2,200, this constitutes a substantial value proposition for acquiring the core Witcher narrative.
A note for those new to Sapkowski`s literary universe: while the five-book set encapsulates the main `Saga,` the series conventionally begins with two collections of short stories: The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. These stories precede the events detailed in Blood of Elves and are generally recommended as the chronological starting point for readers.
These introductory story collections are also subject to various discounts; however, a peculiar market dynamic currently sees purchasing the individual paperback volumes potentially being more cost-effective than opting for their combined two-book box set, even with its promotional pricing. Navigating the optimal purchase path sometimes requires a moment of calculation.
Adding to the timeliness of this offering, a new prequel novel titled Crossroads of Ravens is scheduled for English release on September 30th. Positioned chronologically even before the initial short stories, this standalone work provides yet another entry point or expansion for the dedicated readership.
Whether the objective is to embark on Geralt`s journeys for the first time or to acquire the foundational novels in physical format at an exceptionally favorable price, this early Amazon deal presents a robust opportunity. While the official Amazon Prime Day event is slated to commence on July 8th, this specific discount is presently active and available.
