I had such hopes for this latter volume, seeing as the story got somewhat more faithful to the source prior this episode (though a lot of weird additions and changes remained), which I hadn't expected, but vaguely appreciated.
The arc this episode went through could have been so amazing. I remember the books sort of breezed through it a bit, but the plot points contained within made sense and were pretty epic, I have to admit.
But this one, while preserving some plot points, went into weird directions with others, and I can't help but feel annoyed that such minute things as the surroundings for certain scenes were needlessly changed to something that didn't really feel like a necessary or warranted change.
I mean, the episode ticked many of the boxes in terms of plot points, but the delivery was very much disappointing. Mixed with some weird additions and changes, it just fell flat for me.
And the two heavy-hitter plots, Dijkstra and Geralt, neither hit as heavy as they should've in my opinion.
I don't really have much hope for the remaining two episodes, but we'll see...
