The Lady of the Lake

A saga of men and monsters, where we soon find men to be worse than monsters. The Witcher series presents a social criticism of the evil deeds humans can commit. Who knew that the bath scene between Geralt and Yennefer would be the biggest foreshadowing in all of the fantasy world. Also, I consistently asked myself if the “Witcher” that gives name to the series is actually Ciri, and not Geralt.

I also find poetic how the saga portrays parenthood as derived from deeds, and not blood. A sterile mutant (Geralt) and a converted sorceress (Yennefer), both biologically sterile, serve the role of parents to Ciri like their family could never had. Also, the role of Fringilla in this series cannot be overstated.

It's at the end of the series that we finally understand why specifically the Witcher 3 game is called The Wild Hunt.
