I believe someone is impersonating you in your comment section.

[@jthai124]

Yes they are selecting "winners".

[@BookishTrina]

So glad you guys posted this message, now I won't follow the link. I was wondering because I never win anything LOL, I got really excited... bummer LOL

[@RavielsBlackRose]

Yeah, I was wondering about the different channel as well when I got the message from KZbin. Glad someone else commented on this, thanks.

[@karollorak7490]

the matter is probably thicker, when I replied to this message under my comment, my answer was deleted, when I replied to my comment the same sentence, the information about the prize disappeared as well as my answer, but the information about the prize is still under other comments. When I tried to report to YT that someone is impersonating, YT gives me information that @ebnovels channel does not exist and I can't report it

[@SaberRexZealot]

Finally, they gave the books their own distinct art covers instead of just relying on the games and netflix art. Makes it feel like its own thing

[@Scotty393]

There already was by Orion and Gollancz.

[@morvran9074]

The best covers are those OG by SuperNowa

[@whitemoses7913]

I appreciate that there's no 'Netflix' logo anywhere on the books.

[@mayaamis]

Finally! A beautiful english hard covers with original art, without annoying netflix logo or pictures. Getting them all! There have been so many gorgeous editions and covers in other languages in the past but english has been lacking so happy to see these! :)

[@FadiAntwan]

I love the entire series, but my favorites are definitely the short story collections, especially Sword of Destiny since it introduced Ciri, and its final story completely melted my heart. It was everything I wanted from the Witcher books after playing the game.

[@dlasis]

You’re my most favorite booktuber to date. I love the attention to detail and really evident OCD which satisfies my critical eyes. Keep rocking.

[@ellenonoda]

I like the short stories! Thank you for always being kind to your subscribers and giving back whether it be books or glasses. Thank you 🙏

[@NaynaSL]

Blood of elves is my favorite but batism of fire... That cover! and green (I love green) Thank you Elle and Orbit! That is so incredibly kind and generous! Perfect for holiday season coming up❤️ 🤞🤞🤞

[@PetrikLeo]

My OCD is so satisfied with this video, Elle. So happy to see the spines all aligned like that. I haven't finished the series yet, so my favorite so far is still The Last Wish collection of stories! So kind of you and Orbit to host such a huge international giveaway! :)

[@flywithty1]

Yess! Finally I can purchase all but the last book, and they will look amazing!

[@lisr1634]

These hardcover editions are so gorgeous!! I can't wait to go through and look at all the pictures in the short story collections. Thanks to you and Orbit for this amazing opportunity!! In preparation, I decided to start listening to the audiobooks, starting with The Last Wish.

[@eddydoo4221]

The Last wish is my favorite! It's probably just nostalgia glasses since it's my first introduction to the series but still. It's beautiful!

[@Fenchelty]

I have to admit that I haven't read all the books in the series yet, I'm only halfway through it. However, I absolutely love The Last Wish as it made me fall in love with reading and especially, fantasy again (I've been struggling with being a consistent reader for the last couple of years and after picking up The Last Wish, I read the next three ones in less than a month). So it holds a very dear place in my heart. But as I said, I haven't finished it yet, so I might have to edit this comment once I'm done with it :D And thank you Elliot for hosting this giveaway ❤️ Edit: still not done with the series yet, however, I've finished Baptism of Fire a while ago and absolutely understand why most people love it the most. I enjoyed every second of reading it, but due to the reasons mentioned above I think TLW continues to be my favourite book of the series :)

[@cliffordduhh45]

I completely agree. I’m in the same spot! I’ve been reading a lot of heavy nonfiction and philosophy lately and it’s just burnt me out. Even some heavy fantasy like Tolkien was a bit of a slog to get through even though I’ve read a lot of his works before. I think I just needed a break from heavy reading, wanted to just enjoy some easy reading. I just flew through The Last Wish and am ready for more!

[@Fenchelty]

@@cliffordduhh45 I'm happy that you've had the same experience with the Last Wish/ The Witcher series as me ☺️ I finally feel much more comfortable and less intimidated reading fantasy books in general, but so far nothing has been as enjoyable and easy to get through as the Witcher novels. Hopefully you'll continue to love reading the series just as much as I do :)

[@renasiel2708]

Oh my heavens are they GORGEOUS! My favorite in the series would have to be Season of Storms or Sword of Destiny. It's really difficult for me to chose from those two.

[@tomaszmankowski9103]

I still like the short stories the most - both volumes. Not because they are the best but because how the journey and the world building started. I also want to thank you for this short review, I really like how beautiful and how different the covers are and how it still all manages to stay in similar 'mood'. Finally - I have to add that I don't want the books, someone else who cannot read them in the original Polish would surely need them more than me. I just wanted to comment because I want to support this video. Take care!

[@lisagna7234]

My favorite in the series is Lady of the Lake. I just loved all the threads coming together and I always love an unconventional ending. I'm not usually a fan of battle scenes but the one in this book was so brilliantly done. These new editions are beautiful!

[@mariahjhnsn]

Wow!! The colors and illustrations for each of these hardbacks is just stunning! I love the color of Lady of the Lake you don’t come across many purple covers. Orbit knocked it out of the park on this Witcher set ❤ My favorite book of the series is Baptism of Fire because we get more interaction with Geralt and Dandelion which I love to read… and the ending!

[@KillerQueen1791]

Hi should all copies of Sword of Destiny have the quote under the dust jacket? I just got mine from amazon and it doesn't have the quote

[@ZuzannaPieniak]

UK editions don't have it, only US editions have quotes under dust jacket ❤

[@lucyann8933]

I love these, the last wish and the baptism of fire were always my fav 🤍 Have you managed to see if the books have been edited from the original translation? I remember there being a couple of translation hiccups before, just wondered if they’ve been ironed out for these editions? ☺️

[@astridastrand3438]

Love that finally we have hardback editions! My favorite of the Witcher books is "The Lady of the Lake". The whole book is a rollercoaster of emotions which had me both laughing and crying, and THAT ENDING totally loved it. I really enjoyed that Andrzej Sapkowski introduced more layers of the world in the book. Overall I feel that the book is totally unappreciated and needs more love.

[@Orenjiku]

I love the 2 short story books, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. I loved how each story had a moral lesson.

[@CedTheThird]

baptism of fire is my favorite. THOSE COVERS the art is actually so incredible i love that they have different artist for each one

[@druidrunes483]

I've only read the first book, The Last Wish, and I loved it, the lore is amazing and all the fairylike stories elements are amazing. My favorite short story was A grain of truth. And I love the way Andrzej Sapkowski uses slavic lore in his world building. This illustrated edition is amazing.

[@Marykins3]

Oh man! Now I GOT to get my hands on these editions! They’re so beautiful 😍 my favorite book of the series is The Time of Contempt! Love you so much!!

[@Donatello-go5sn]

The short story collections. These editions are extremely beautiful. I love that publishers are realizing the value of book art (covers, endpapers, and illustrations) and artists. I love reading and carrying around beautiful books (I also have a handbag obsession, but I digress :).

[@lucamariekortylewski7754]

Time of Contempt is my favourite one, mainly because of that awesome banquet scene where we meet so many great characters and have awesome conversations and deeply moving ones like the ones between Geralt and Yennefer.

[@BlinkFly]

Agreed!!!

[@lauravojtekova4352]

My favourite book in Witcher series is definitely Blood of Elves. I just love the beginning of the story that sets out this incredible journey. The way that Ciri is more of the focus in this book, especially her training and time at Kaer Morten. And I absolutely adore the scenes with all the witchers together and Vesemir on top of them all ❤️

[@iuliamonicacostea]

The art on the new covers is phenomenal 🧡 Baptism of Fire is one of my favourite books in the series.

[@racheladkins6060]

I’ve asked my sister to get the illustrated two books for my 53rd birthday. Not looking forward to being 53. Thanks for the brilliant video.

[@tick369]

Baptism of Fire has to be my favorite. I love the journey the characters take and the ending kicker with “Geralt of Rivia” is my favorite moment in the entire series.

[@rnjohn45]

The Last Wish is still my favorite for its introduction to the world and Geralt outside of the video games. I’m so thankful they’ve given us these to pick instead of the Netflix sticker paperbacks

[@marcuslikespizza]

The Last Wish! Probably because it's what introduced me into the Witcher.

[@ashutoshkakad7086]

My favorite is Time of Contempt. I know, I am in the minority but it is what I feel. The book opens with a messenger and then we get back to Ciri and Yeneffer going into a city where Ciri has a small, almost cute adventure while exploring the market in that city. A huge massive event happens in the middle of the book. And then there is the desert sequence that many people find kind of sloggish, but I dont I felt so much connected to Ciri, I had a bottle full of water by my side but I still felt the thirst and the hunger she went through and it's really rare that a book has made me feel such amount of empathy for a character. And of course the Rats show up towards the end and their intro is just awesome. The UK paperback and the special edition in this video both have this purple theme going on which resonates so well with the content in this book (the conflict and then the all out magical brawl between the mages) and I love it.

[@Travioli95]

still working on the series but loved last wish the most so far. I'm just glad there's a series of hardbacks and no netflix sticker!

[@kczagrodney4007]

So far my favorites are still the short story collections but I haven't finished the series yet. Would love to do so reading these editions.

[@ScottPulling]

Thr Last Wish is my favourite, love the whole series but I just fell in love with the world and characters straight away when I started TLW

[@Dmitry___S.]

Thanks a lot for the overview! I will grab one, mostly for the map. 'Tower of Swallows'' cover and colours are my favourites.

[@larissa3540]

So far Sword of Destiny has been my favorite. The short stories were the ones that got me hooked on Geralt’s story. Such an interesting character.😊

[@iman5313]

I love how vibrant the colors are!!! My favorite installment is Time of Contempt.

[@mc2091]

My favorite is the first book because it introduced me to this world and the characters, and I FELL IN LOVE!!!

[@ElysiaLloydJonesArt]

I'd have to say my favourite is The Last Wish, the first in any series always has a special place in my heart. These editions look absolutely stunning.

[@underwateroasis]

I thought I'd end up replacing my hodgepodge of this series with the new paperback versions at some point as I usually prefer paperback plus they're cheaper. After watching this video though, I've been convinced to go with the hardbacks as they are beautiful. Tower of Swallows is probably my favorite.

[@Asian_Import]

They look so good!! I picked up all of them but Sword of Destiny, which doesn't come out in the US until Dec 6th.

[@OpheliaLove1]

I havent finished the series yet, but if I had to pick a favorite I think I'd go with The Last Wish, because I like circling back to the short stories every now and then when I don't have the time or mental space for starting up a new novel.

[@vafurtomli9166]

Sword of Destiny is my favorite just for the scenes of Geralt and Ciri in the Brokilon Forest. Its just a sweet and heartbreaking moment.

[@dewtts]

Haven’t actually read any of the other ones so I guess the first collection of short stories are my favourite!

[@amada4170]

They all look amazing. Even though they used different artists it's still cohesive enough that it doesn't bother me at all. Definitely picking this up soon

[@drwhaleprince6452]

Idk why but something about the last wish and the nostalgia I have with it just makes it my fav. I love the series so much tho. It's hard to pick a fav.

[@shannont.1758]

These are beautiful. I don’t have a favorite because haven’t read the series yet but it is on my TBR. I’ve heard good things.

[@thousanduniverses]

Stunning 😍 My favorite would be the second short story collection. So far the short stories are all I have read.

[@lsdeann_3293]

In the UK these aren't out until 2023.. E: My favourite book was the Last Wish.

[@peacefulsleep6474]

The last wish has always been my favorite. The short stories were the best!

[@crystalhadley392]

Those editions are amazing, appreciate you providing a first look. If I had to choose one as my favorite it would be baptism of fire.

[@Belladonna_Q]

I love all of the books, because of nostalgia mostly - I've read them for the first time 17, maybe 18 years ago, when I was a teenager. But if i had to, I'd choose Baptism of Fire - Chrzest Ognia.

[@Belladonna_Q]

And you made me want to re-read them again! :-) I haven't done that for several years. Those covers are gorgeous, I wonder if they will be available in Poland.

[@psychologicalfrost2116]

This is the first time I’ve actually really looked at the special editions so thank you Elliot for doing this video! My favorite would probably be baptism of fire and I love the green of the cover❤️

[@Atchame]

Frankly, it is impossible to choose. All of them are my favorites. 🧐 I will need to refresh the series once more. Those are beautiful editions.

[@theprimealpha4639]

My favorite in the series would have to on the short stories side. Has to be Sword of Destiny. Damn those covers really do amaze me.

[@brightwatcher3757]

My heart is happy with the richness of the colors! My favorite book is either Baptism of Fire (for the fish soup) or Sword of Destiny which features one of my favorite short stories ever outside of just the Witcher.💛

[@andyburke84]

Time of contempt hooked me and forced a speed read on holiday last year. Although last wish had some pretty awesome stories...

[@curlsnoutx1]

I have to go with Lady of the Lake - the way this story comes together at the end and then IMHO is left to a bit of interpretation at the very end is really fascinating, Cant wait to read these again some day

[@lifi9299]

My favourite book was the Baptism of Fire, I just loved that one. And I might give the series a reread soon.

[@maureliuswolf]

The Last Wish. I read it while recovering from a concussion and had to avoid screens for a month. All I wanted to do was play the game and so I got the physical version of the book instead. It was such a joy to escape to a fantasy realm while being laid out in bed unable to really do much else.

[@brittanycrews1453]

Baptism of Fire! Thank you for showing these! They are absolutely stunning. And thank you also for displaying them in such a thorough and organized way.

[@shahzadiqbal1976]

Wow. These hardbacks are beautiful. My favorite is the sword of destiny.

[@Pix3lB]

Ordered the first one hopefully will be able to complete the collection before they go out of print.

[@alfozz8498]

I agree! Baptism of Fire is my favorite, as well.

[@TheCloser424]

I have a hard time picking favorites but I think my favorite might be Baptism of Fire. I love how these editions look.

[@telegrammeondgas4406]

Thanks for watching and commenting,Congratulations Lucky winner🎁 Message me Above ☝🏾☝🏾 I have something for you🎉🎁

[@NightCoffeeX]

Do you think it's worthy to go for this edition over the normal, paperback ones despite being much more expensive? I'm still deciding which book set to purchase, this or a more classic-paperback one(doesn't matter if it has Netflix logo or not), this hardback edition with illustrations would've been the choice 100% if it had illustrations in all books and not just the first 2 books only/ the short stories.

[@wingcastlereads5657]

A bit basic maybe, but my favourite has to be either the last wish or sword of destiny. I just really like the short stories 😁

[@bnm7990]

I’ve only made my way a bit in the series, but Blood of Elves is an absolutely wonderful introduction to the world of The Witcher, and I can’t wait to read on

[@EotuaDawnwalker]

I want to enter the contest, but I haven’t read the Witcher yet. So I’ll give you my favorite cover. I really like how different Tower of Swallows is, both in color and design. The person riding the horse is so much smaller than the people on the other covers, and that allows it to show off the big tower.

[@telegrammeondgas4406]

Thanks for watching and commenting,Congratulations Lucky winner🎁 Message me Above ☝🏾☝🏾 I have something for you🎉🎁

[@nocrackedspines]

The Last Wish is my favorite in the series! These editions are absolutely stunning! Orbit really did an amazing job with them! Thank you for sharing images of the books and artwork!

[@Quirrel]

will there be illustrated edition for other witcher books or just for first 2?

[@tyo101]

I hope so. It's 50-50 based on my impression from the UK publisher's social media replies, however.

[@apebblemaster4570]

Wow, those are beautiful books! So neat that they got different artists to do the artwork for each book. My favorite is probably The Time of Contempt; that purple is gorgeous!

[@lfo904]

Thanks for this amazing showcase ! I've finished the Witcher series a few days ago so it's still fresh in my memory. My favorite book is The Lady of the Lake , a good conclusion but oh god it was hard to read some parts

[@gryzeldabrdak]

wow!! I love the new covers

[@lorlacs611]

I haven't started on the series, would love to read the short stories and continue on from their😊 Thank you for the video

[@redman4669]

I haven't read the series yet ngl but I've only heard good thing about it. Especially the introduction of the characters and the world in the first book

[@lizr451]

My favorite book would have to be baptism of fire. These editions have really blown me away!

[@Alliebara]

The Last Wish is my favorite. Getting to experience the world and meet the characters for the first time was memorable.

[@TwilightBizarre]

My favorite book in the series is The Tower of the Swallow. I know it's usually among less favorite ones for most people but really that scene near the end (don't want to spoil) and the entire introspect we get with Ciri just won me over. Although I will say that among these covers, Lady of the Lake is both my favorite color scheme and art.

[@AyelenGelmi]

My favorite is The Last wish, collection of stories. Such wonderful editions!

[@gamingsfinest3356]

I have the two illustrated editions, but will prob build out the rest of the series. Also the witcher 3 soundtrack slaps so hard.

[@chrisalba]

I also love the last wish, those twisted fairy tales short stories! Poor girl Renfri

[@hibbahel-damanhoury4618]

The Last Wish is my favourite, and I'm thrilled with how these editions look!

[@MekareP]

These are gorgeous!! Added them to my Christmas amazon list.

[@tay_lee25]

The Sword of Destiny is probably my favorite, but Time of Contempt is a close second for me. I have to say that’s my favorite cover art as well.

[@helenawalther1332]

These new editions are so beautiful 😵 My favourite is probably Baptism of Fire

[@deniahmetaj]

My favorite book in the series is The Sword of Destiny, for sure, and Yennefer on it’s cover looks amazing and a lot like Yen from The Witcher 3 game. All the covers look gorgeous, props to all the artists, but the Lady of the Lake cover portrays Ciri so differently from what I imagined and saw in the games and Netflix show, that it just doesn’t seem right for me.

[@bonniestevens4329]

These look amazing! I can't give you a favorite as I have not read them yet! I have them on my TBR I just haven't gotten to them yet.

[@rachelhartmann2332]

I loved Blood of Elves. Ironically, I had bought the book on a whim years ago and couldn't get into it. I didn't know anything about the Witcher, just liked the cover. Years later, I've watched the show and read the books, and absolutely love the world of the Witcher!

[@LennyV95]

These editions look so nice! I have only read the Last Wish so far, so I guess that would be my favorite at this moment :D

[@BecxReadz]

That's so awesome of you. I haven't read this series yet although I've been wanting to. Those editions are stunning.

[@Syrilian]

It's interesting that the illustrations of Geralt looks pretty similiar to Cavill. I wonder if the show influenced the illustrations or he was just that good of a casting. Time of Contempt is my favorite Witcher book.

[@Hey_Elizabeth88]

Time of Contempt has to be my favorite! Loved this video and the inclusion of all the details of these beautiful editions.

[@jonathankennedy7291]

My favorite book is the Last Wish. I love introductions to characters and this one does not disappoint!

[@mellies.8822]

My favourite Witcher book is The Last Wish, I really love the short stories, they are like side quests in Witcher 3

[@DnVTubers]

I actually really enjoyed The Last Wish which I feel is a little underrated since the first two books are short stories and not larger epics but I really love them!

[@samanthaeasterly4158]

These editions are so beautiful 😍 My favorite of the novels is Baptism of Fire too! And I also love the short story collections because of the fairy tale references and elements.

[@thesilly292]

Baptism of fire is easily my favorite, couldn’t put it down and it was probably the fastest I’ve ever read a book

[@slowburn2948]

Thank you so much!!! Was thinking which one to buy first
