Tissaia told Yen never to cry, something that Yen then taught Ciri - never cry, there is nothing more pathetic than a crying sorceress, and lets just break that line of thought in first couple minutes of the new season... seems like "game of thrones" style writing is being employed - lets tell one story, and then contradict right after, because why not...
The decision of including Ciri in Nivellens story would be fine, but the way it was done felt quite forceful, the whole - "different people" narrative especially, it doesn't need to be hammered home, it could have been subtle, and we would understand it - we, viewers, aren't so dumb... also Nivellens character arc was poorly thought out, it didn't need all those changes, he didn't have be an old buddy that doesn't realize who has come into his house and nearly kills or more likely would get killed right away, Nivellen cheating in the dagger throwing game that let to the witcher explaining few things that happened in S1 to viewers who might have not seen it - that was a nice touch, a bit crude, but ok, the only problem with it is that Codringher had a similar scene in the book, a quite funny one, but sadly that won't make it on to the tv it seems - too similar
I wish I could forget the book to enjoy this tv series a bit more, but I can't :(
