It's something I missed in the books and it felt great seeing her uglyPoint of Eel scenes are showing nature of sorceress and whole mage convent. She acts like it’s some curse placed upon her, but she knew the sacrifice. motherless.
The chair and the removal of a uterus (or several) are included in the novels; it’s part of the main plot and revealed late in the series.It’s a line in the sand that firmly separates the scheming parties from the actual antagonists, revealing that there are boundaries most people won’t cross, things that are seen as evil even in this world.
In previous posts, I’ve discussed the adaptation of I’m not the type of fan who rages when things are cut or added. Unfortunately, their way doesn’t live up to the standard of either the books nor the game franchise.

This is lost in the Netflix adaptation. It gets better in the last few episodes but the made up backstory is awful and didn’t seem to fit at all.Yeah, my husband and I aren't really fans either. I love the layered plot, the political intrigue, and the fact that you never really know who is backstabbing whom. I’m 6 episodes in and I groan wherever she’s involved.
Secondly, in the books most—not all— sorceresses are sterile; it’s a side-effect of their magical abilities and treatments, but they don’t have their uterus and ovaries removed; not even Yennefer.
And I’ve read a lot of things.
I agree that they should cast someone less known than Cavill, though. In the books they meet before the attack on Cintra, they’ve already established a relationship.
But, in an attempt to keep this post a little shorter, if you want a more in-depth look at what I mean, these two YouTube videos touch on a few good examples without being overtly negative, ranting, or unfair.It’s a shame they tried to adapt so many of the short stories in one season when they didn’t have the run-time to do any of them justice.All the short-stories are great.
When I (temporarily) let go of my Nordic neutrality, all I see is one of my favorite book series reduced to generic fantasy, replacing layered characters and a complex story with blood and boobs.
There's a reason you don't need to know her backstory. Very confusing. I love the grayness of the world, the historical references, and the long, philosophical dialogue. Fantasy lover. Pleasantly surprised. And just like their real-life historical counterparts—the Romans, the Persians, the Chinese—they are expansionist and culturally elitist.
It also does an incredible disservice to characters connected with Nilfgaard, like Cahir is one of my favorite characters. 26. Just doesn't feel like it fits and she and Geralt make no sense.
It’s so vain and petty. I decided to give it a chance. I could give plenty of other examples. More than 30 years after her Ascension, she met Geralt of Rivia, whom she had mixed feelings for due to the circumstances of how they met. That’s great!If you’ve found your way to this blog because of the adaptation, (Don’t mind the grumpy woman behind the keyboard, she really wanted them to castWither you agree or disagree, feel free to leave a comment or your take on NetflixHowever, I’ve tried really hard to keep this text respectful and open to other people’s point-of-view, please return the favor.Scandinavian. She acts like it’s some curse placed upon her, but she knew the sacrifice.
I’m not a big fan of the actress and her scenes are just...meh.It’s not just you.
So far I find Ciri's pretty bland, perhaps because she doesn't have much to do, apart from running and hiding.Ciri is great as a character in the show, but they dropped the ball with the Brokilon/Doppler plot. BUT FIRST, A FEW CLARIFICATIONS . It’s not a text where I quote obscure lore from the books to tell you why I’m right, and everyone else is wrong.
Yennefer (b.
Closer to forty than thirty-five.
Using people for power and stuff.
Both sides scheme, torture, spy, murder, rape, and commit what we would label as war-crimes.
When it comes to stories, I tend to gravitate to ones where things are not cut and dry.
If you don't like her as Yennefer just say you aren't sold and say its fine if other people do like her. The Witcher books have layers upon layers of moral grayscale, nothing is simple, and no one easily divided into good or bad. Posted by.
Because of that, I want to explain why I don’t like the Netflix adaptation, and why you’ll (probably) never hear me mentioning it in future witcher related posts. It also oversimplifies Nilfgaard as a political faction and, more importantly, It’s set up in one of the first short stories and then spins into a major plot twist revealed at the end of the last book. Yennefer’s appearance before her transformation and how that happened is barely mentioned. I really want to like her and I'm sure I'd like the character if I read the books but so far in the show she's our least favorite and we haven't connected with her at all.I do not understand her storyline at all.
Taking out that part and replacing it with vague talk about destiny completely destroyed the climax when Geralt finds her after she escapes the war.
