Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
This show finally came back with a season 2 almost 2 years after the first and I'm truly heartbroken over how short these 8 episodes felt! I love this world and the lore and the characters so much that I just want it to never end! Season 1 was all about introducing us to our main cast and having them slowly come together and apart and while season 2 had similar moments, the end brought us closer to seeing our cast finally find their places in this world. I spent so much of this season studying the politics of this world and wondering which side to root for cause to me rather than there being a clear good or bad guy, it felt like everyone was just a different shade of terrible. Like Nilfgaard is out here trying to rule the world no matter who dies, the Brotherhood despise elves and anyone who isn't human, the Northern kingdoms care only about saving their behinds and the elves hate humans so much that they will kill innocents to send a message. Like Geralt said last season, "Evil is evil. Greater, lesser, middling. It makes no difference" and because of that I have a feeling that rather than watching our heroes pick a side, they'll end up razing the world to the ground and building a new one. I do have to say that I was totally shocked to find out that Ciri's dad is the Emhyr and though I can totally understand why he would turn away from Calanthe who was truly the worst person despite how much she and Ciri loved one another, the reason for him trying to kill his own daughter and taking over the continent is a different beast entirely. I do wonder if this means that Cahir will join our side cause tbh I kinda liked him working with Yennefer earlier in the season despite how evil he was season 1. Speaking of Yennefer, I knew that she wouldn't actually harm Ciri cause then she would really be the antagonist but it also breaks my heart that Geralt and her are so fractured. I'd like to hope that they will find a way to heal in the end cause they are my ship! All in all this was a fantastic second season and I can't wait for the next even if we'll probs have to wait another year for it!
