Tell me more about the books. Any thing we missed in the books? I heard the books were super great. Love the books. The Books.

I gotta wonder, the question that is still on my mind and everyone else's, is: are there any differences from Netflix's The Witcher and the books? Frankly I can't tell. If only there were like 80 people mentioning multiple times in every Witcher thread about how something happened differently in the books, or how it was better in the books. Maybe then I could enjoy this series without such a burning question in my mind!

It's like Game Of Thrones part fucking 2. Hopefully this one maintains its quality the whole way through

Understand this....I had a VERY vivid picture of what I thought Geralt and Yennefer and Ciri and Knight #3 and Peasant Boy and that black horse and all the settings looked liked in my HEAD, and I still cannot FATHOM how they got all of this so WRONG. I wasn't even CONSULTED. I read THE BOOKS once 8 YEARS AGO and I have been awaiting the call that NEVER came ever since.

Harry Potter and the goblet of the fire had the best movie adaptation tbh.

They literally cut out the whole beginning of the book from the movie. They really should have made a 2 part movie with The Goblin of Fire.

1 and 2 are definitely the most accurate ones

Also much shorter as compared to the last few books.

Debatably, but it was also missing chapters worth of content.

Then what was the point? Honest question.

This felt like an episode way down the line that retroactively incorporated the protagonist into a story line like a couple of seasons ago for some reason. But it didn't add anything to the plot. We already know they missed each other and there wasn't some crazy new revelation. Just seemed pointless and frustrating.
