The Witcher audiobooks in order

Kenny's Geralt is the definitive English-language performance, and his Dandelion is worth the price on its own. He reads the newest book, Crossroads of Ravens, too — though that one also exists as a separate full-cast production, so check which version you are buying.

Which order should you listen in?

Not publication order. Start with the two short-story collections — The Last Wish then Sword of Destiny — because the novels assume you already know those stories. The last two entries are both out-of-sequence additions written long after the saga finished: Season of Storms sits chronologically early, and Crossroads of Ravens is earlier still — a prequel to everything, with a young Geralt just out of Kaer Morhen. Both are written for people who already know him, so listen to them last however tempting the timeline looks.
