'Last Wish' is the first book published featuring The Witcher BUT it is a collection of short stories, as was the second book published 'Sword of Destiny'. The first book in "The Witcher Saga" is Blood of Elves.
Man, this is some Narnia level ranking confusion, I had no idea until you asked me LOL. Goodreads lists them as "Witcher 0.5" LOL
Most of the short stories in 'Last Wish' were adapted for Season 1 of the Netflix series for Geralt's episodes. Yennefer and Ciri don't appear until the other books I think (though Geralt mentions Yen in passing during one of the short stories which I thought was odd since she had not been introduced).
So, yeah, if you want the first NOVEL, then it is Blood of Elves. If you want the first published work, it's Last Wish. **shrug** I have heard you can go either way
