Am I the only one who played all three Witcher games but can't finish the first book?

For context I've beaten the Witcher 3 and both DLC's three times and I've beaten both the Witcher 1 and 2. I have tried reading the Last Wish recently and I have made it to page 207. I really enjoyed the first two chapters but for some reason I really disliked the third chapter "A Grain of Truth" I managed to push on through and I kept reading but I find it really hard to enjoy this book. I really want to enjoy it but the combination of very odd words (which could be translation mistakes), the made up words for monsters and towns which are equally hard to pronounce, and the "old English" (for example ne'er for never or anon) make reading this book a real pain. I really enjoy the characters and setting that Andrzej Sapkowski created and I love watching lore videos about the world of the Witcher. I'm going to try to keep reading the books but have any of you guys experienced this? Are the books and acquired taste?
