Fire magic is forbidden? What is this Harry potter? Every Witcher can cast a simple fire spell in the books and games. Not only is it not forbidden, it's incredibly common. This really feels like a random fantasy trope to throw in and it sort of goes against the "shades of grey" narratives that the Witcher is known for.

Nenneke has a totally different personality. I will say that i like this character, but why make her nenneke? Gender swapped Fenn, which is fine, as he is a pretty minor character in the grand scheme of things in the books.

Oh, have you heard of Itheline's prophecy? Because they beat you over the head with it in 4 different plotines. Just in case you haven't yet understood that Ciri has elder blood.

Otherwise this episode has one of the coolest fights in the series thus far, puts out some new seeds of intrigue, makes us not trust a lot of people and wonder what crawled up Cahir's butt.

It's one of the better episodes that isn't a one-off monster hunt and it still isn't very good compared to any of the source material.
