Volume two of the story picks up amidst the thrilling chaos of the Thanedd coup at Aretuza. In the sixth episode, a pivotal moment in volume two, Vilgefortz, Nilfgaardians, Dijkstra, Philippa, and the Redanians all vie for control of the magical school simultaneously. Geralt, Yennefer, Jaskier, and Ciri find themselves caught in the tumultuous crossfire.
As the battle rages on, the mages clandestinely align themselves with different factions, leaving Geralt once again refusing to take sides. Instead, his unwavering focus lies in protecting Ciri and steering her away from those who seek to exploit her incredible powers.
This episode is a marvelously tense and action-packed spectacle, a masterful explosion of tension that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. It’s a moment of high stakes and emotional intensity that captivates the audience throughout.
And though this climactic episode would have made a perfect season finale, the subsequent two episodes unfortunately drag on, leading to an underwhelming and, dare I say, dull conclusion to Henry Cavill’s remarkable portrayal of Geralt.
