7/10
The hardest episode to review
27 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The Good: Fight with Vilgefortz was amazing, and is hard seeing as it was reading the books how much of a beating Geralt takes. Vilgefortz is super OP and he finally showed it.

Tissaia lightning I don't remember from the books, but it was great. Francesca finally using magic too.

Ciri people tend to forget: She was trained by witchers and they above human physically and great sword fight. She had a really tough training with swords and magic that netflix failed hard to show, she is actually a monster fighting and has the potential to be the most powerful being in the witcher lore;

Bad: Radovid plot is a bad joke. I don't know that character, he can't be the Radovid we know, because LITERALLY the only thing they have in common is the name.

Killing Fillavrandrel in 1 sec was weird. He might be one of the most important elves from the lore and was killed like it was nothing, no drama, but they sure did a bit of drama with that old character that doesn't even exist in the books. See what netflix does? That does not make any sense.

Stregobor casting fire was very nice but WHO knows FALKA, only who read the books. And that is a very interesting plot.

What summons this episode is: could have been awesome but things don't have the weight they should. Some phrases from the books are said without meaning to someone who only sees the show. So it really suffers from the sins of what happened before. Sad.
