Not having played any of the games (although I have read some of the earlier books) one of the key problem's with Netflix first season of 'The Witcher', I found, was the way it jumped around timelines with no real clear 'this is set in <period>' shown.


That aspect, thankfully, is almost entirely done away with in the second season which, as a result, means it is far easier to follow just what is going on!

Set in the aftermath of the Battle of Floden field, with Geralt and Ciri now reunited and with Geralt also believing Yennefer to be dead, this season also introduces more members of the group to which he belongs; that is to say, more Witchers.

I found the season overall to be a bit hit and miss: when the episodes were good, they were very good, but when they were bad ... they were bad.

None the less, still interestied to see where this goes!

This is one of those books that I neither loved nor loathed ... I liken it to one of those films that's not brilliant but you have to watch it to see how it ends but you soon forget about it.

In summary, it's a story about lies and secrets and one woman's quest to find out the truth and the consequences of her doing so. It starts off well, drops in the middle and gets going again towards the end. There are twists but I found them quite predictable. The characters are an interesting bunch and not particularly likeable and I have to admit that I wasn't particularly upset when one of them met an untimely end!

The narrator did a good job but I just found this book not particularly memorable or 'thrilling' but many have so give it a go.

Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

"I am not afraid. I was born to do this."

This was a powerful and emotional story that I found myself being drawn into but only the historical sections; the more recent sections I didn't particularly think added that much to the story as a whole.

I listened to the audio book and whilst I think the narrator did a good job, I did find her interpretation of some of the French characters' voices was a bit jarring. I also found it odd that the main character of Laurence, who is French, spoke to other characters in a French accent however, her inner-dialogue was American.

Having said all that, I was captivated by Laurence's story and loved the way books played a pivotal and vital role in this book; this was unique for me and I really enjoyed it.

I feel a little ambivalent about this movie. I think I like it, but then, it has aspects that are goofy and annoying. Chris Pratt was fairly funny, but then I found some of the other characters ridiculous. Poor Lee Pace, I wish he were cast in a different role in the MCU, that didn't involve him biting the dust. The soundtrack is amazing, as well. Other than that, it was meh.

I love this franchise so I'm a little bit bias. The main story might be lacking, but there's so much to do, you'll end up losing days in the game world. The base building aspect I found really fun and enjoyed modding all my best weapons. Us the DLC was really enjoyable I loved the world they created with Far Harbor.

I can NOT say enough great things about Netflix original content. My boyfriend and I have found a lot of shows we can enjoy together. Netflix makes a night at home easy and fun.

I'm a total binger and love the chance to watch a full season in one sitting. It is a bummer that some movies and shows leave Netflix but they are always adding new content as well.
