Time of Contempt: Witcher 2 – Now a major Netflix show (The Witcher)

The way women are portrayed in this book is simply delightful. Thank you so much, Mr Sapkowski, for offering us such a sharp, acute, splendid, expert, flawless depiction of the gentler sex. I wonder why it is that this magnificent opus hasn't yet become the official feminist bible. I mean, all you need to know about women is beautifully summed up here: they are either evil sluts or treacherous bitches. Or evil bitchy sluts. Or treacherous slutty bitches. They are also quite remarkably frivolous. And one-dimensional. And superficial. This is all so extraordinarily accurate and so fabulously point on I might faint any second now. I mean, we all know that all women care about is bitching about each other. And bitching about men. And discussing men. And fighting over men. And shamelessly trying to seduce men while wearing barely-there, virtually nonexistent, see-through clothes. And hooking up with men. And bitching about other women who spend their time either discussing men or fighting about them or trying to seduce them while wearing barely-there, virtually nonexistent, see-through clothes, either before or after hooking up with them.

At the reception, Geralt meets quite a few interesting individuals, but in particular he meets Vilgefortz for the first time. The mage is considered very young (which of course is anything less than 100 years to mages, but he looks more like 35), he is also considered to be particularly talented, but as Geralt finds out, his road to becoming a mage was not exactly the usual route. The wizard was abandoned as a baby and taken in and raised by druids. It was only as an adult that he became a mage. A point he underlines with some emphasis to the witcher. He even goes so far as to try to encourage Geralt to become a mage himself, but the witcher refuses.

Ciri escapes via a portal in Tor Lara, also known as the Gulls' Tower, during Geralt's fight with Vilgefortz. She awakens in Korath desert known to many as the 'frying pan' and barely manages to stay alive, thanks to the help of a unicorn, whom she names "Little Horse". When pushed for survival, she relies on her magical abilities involving fire, which invokes more nightmares and hallucinations that forcefully entices her to take revenge on those who abandoned her, which leaves her scarred and promising herself to avoid fire as a source of power.

With a such a large cast, all this plotting and conniving leaves Cavill, Allan, and Chalortra – the trinity that holds the entire production together – just as lost in the shuffle as they've been in prior seasons. And, somehow, there are even more characters with secret ambitions than I just mentioned; most of them want to claim Ciri for at-times sinister reasons, so at least Ciri remains a topic of interest. But we haven't even gotten around to mentioning Jaskier (Joey Batey), once a series highlight, who now wears the most hideous wig and is yanked sourly from one predicament to the next so often that it's easy to forget that this mopey bard used to be fun to watch – especially whenever he flexed that beautiful voice of his.Allerdings muss ich bei diesem Buch einen Stern abziehen, da mich das Buch in der Mitte mal kurz ein wenig verloren hatte. Zu viele Namen, zu viele Orte/Regionen und zu viele Erzählperspektiven. Da war ich dann kurz mal raus.
