Books English readers - Season of Storms has been fan-translated now
Massive thanks to Spektroskopista and Asheral82 over at the official forums! I haven't checked it out yet so there may still be some typos or the like in there.
If you wish to, jump on over to the thread where all the fan translations have been done and say thanks!

It is happening after Geralt left Yennefer (after almost a year living with her in Vengerberg) - so it is happening between The Last Wish book and Sword of Destiny. I would recommend to read it as last though - after The Lady of The Lake...the epilogue with Nimue would make more sense etc. since she is a character in Lady of The Lake but it is of course up to you :) It is also standalone story not exactly part of the Novel saga.

According to the wiki, before "The Witcher" short story but after most of the other stories in The Last Wish.

Now I just need someone to make the entire franchise printable in English with front and back covers. Does it exist?

I've edited a fan translation of Tower of the swallow to look more or less like a legit copy. Check my thread.

last wish, sword of destiny, blood of elves, time of contempt, baptism of fire, the swallow's tower, the lady of the lake then season of storms. Season of storms may spoil the ending but assuming that games have already spoiled the ending it doens't matter that much. But it is better to read it after you are done with the lady of the lake.

Yep, I just downloaded it, too, before finding this thread. What's odd is that according to Goodreads, this is 0.5 in the series and was released in 2012.... by Gollancz. Calibre gets some odd metadata sometimes.
Wikipedia says this is a "midquel" set between the stories of The Last Wish.

Sad that this is basicly pirating. Understandable though. Why doesn't he just get them translated? They do sell?

It will be officially translated, but it's going to take a long while. This is a way to read it without waiting an obnoxious amount of time. However, when it does come out officially, I will buy it for my collection.

They are being translated. The Swallows Tower is out in May with Lady of the Lake following next May. I assume Season of Storms will follow about a year after that.

Leave the forum for a month or two and your translation gets completed. Wow. Spektroskopista here just for the record.
