  • Game of Thrones has ended and the Witcher may be the next Game of Thrones. The Witcher series on Netflix will be based on The Witcher books! When the Witcher Trailer came out everyone was shook because it looks like it will be awesome! Many people already know Geralt , Yennefer and Ciri from the video games, But in this video series I will be breaking down all of the witcher books. The first book in the Witcher series is the Last Wish, and the Last Wish has 7 short stories in it! I will go thru each short story and in this video I will explain the first short story in the Last Wish titled The Witcher! We will meet King Foltest, Adda and many more! Thanks for Watching!

    Shylock Wesker Yep, that bugged me too… It’s almost “Vitch-zhee-ma” run together, really quickly; so you almost hear,
    “Vit-cheema”.
    The Polish based names can be difficult for an American ear.
    Peter Kenny, who reads the English language translation of The Witcher Audible audiobook series, has a really great pronunciation of Names, towns, monsters etc…
    If you’re interested in listening to someone pronounce the words as they were meant to be spoken. (No shade meant - just advice, and good vibes, Gray 🤗).

    The last wish is separated in past present and then future, in the present we start with Geralt taking the contract for the Striga then he goes to the temple of Melitele gets roasted by Neneka and he tells her some of his adventures like the grain of truth over some beers 🍺 , afterwards they get a visit from those two guys of the white rose telling Geralt to leave... He then tells the a lesser evil story to Yola or Neneka but I am not sure but I think it was to Yola because his conversation with her he talks about Blavikan and also mentions Cintra and his regret on what he did, which takes us to the next Chapter where they explained what happened in Cintra. That's how far I got until now and that's how I interpreted the story (The Last whish isn't just random short stories without a fixed timeline to me the timeline is actually pretty clear specially because I kinda new what was going on because I played the games)

I'm really needing something to fill the void of GoT. I did just finish watching S1&2 of Mindhunter, on Netflix, which is extremely good. The writing is great and the subject is fascinating. Imo. Fyi for anyone looking for something to binge watch.😊

      I think it will be a hit series and I believe there a few people starting to do vblog beside Daniel Greene and Naeb'lis.
