I can't believe what I'm seeing...Ciri, having something interesting about her? A conflict that is more than running away from things chasing her all the damn time? A...cliche prophecy thing being hinted at...okay that wasn't very interesting, but everything else was!

Better late than never I suppose, but unfortunately, Yennefer has the short end of the stick in this episode. It hints at something interesting towards the end, but everything leading up to it feels rather a lot like it's running in place.

And as for Geralt, well...it's not exactly riveting, but he does definitely have something pretty interesting in terms of lore going on in this episode. It's...not bad.

But really, I'm astounded by this more than any other episode in this whole series, because never did I think I'd be saying that Ciri is genuinely the standout character of the episode. But, well...she is.

And while I still can't say I'm absolutely in love with this series, bloody hell did Ciri being interesting really come out of left field for me.
