Nope. I read books before games and now re-read them again to remember what was there, and I will not change my #TT.
From the Lodge meeting in the books we know that Triss and Keira are both too old to marry Prince Tancred and produce children, which is why the Lodge needs Ciri to carry out their plans for a northern empire.
Thanks, I guess I'll do it after playing TW2. I like reading into fantasy worlds so much that I know almost everything about them, I did it with Tolkien's Middle Earth and the Inheritance Cycle (which I need to re-read), it's fun.
Though it's a shame I don't understand polish, I don't think the books are fully translated into English yet?
I have no info about English translation. I read in Russian.
I read in Russian, so I don't know about English.

Really don't hesitate and buy the books - unfortunately only 5 of them are translated officially into English (last two will be released soon) but you can find online fan translations of the last two books online)
The order how to read the saga is:
Short stories collection:
1. The Last Wish
2. The Sword of Destiny
Novels:
3. Blood of Elves
4. Time of Contempt
5. Baptism of Fire
6. The Swallow's Tower
7. Lady of the Lake
When you will read all these books you will have better understandings of the game lore and stories (especially The Witcher 3, which is heavily inspired by books)...
Hope it helps.
Ah, thank you very much. Do you have an idea when the English translations of the last 2 will be released? Soon as in later this year, or maybe in 1 or 2 years?
there is one more : Season of Storms, a stand-alone novel
Yeah I know but there isn't even fan translation in English yet so I didn't mention it...

I think book 6 is planned for later this year or early 2016 - the last book Lady of the Lake (the best in my opinion) will be released in 2017 unfortunately - this is really long time
The fan translations are very good (not perfect) but it is ok.
There is no dialogue in the game showing whether gerelad got TRISS or shenifer. In docorrer of history, or a fight, I ended up not taking the TRISS, but in the end said he loved her, but I was with Jenifer, and at the end said he wanted to live with her. And I knew nothing of TRISS, what happened to her.
Sooo..I with you guys(read in Russian)I read in Russian, so I don't know about English.
