I am reading The Sword of Destiny now and I have SO MANY problems with accepting Yennefer as the main love interest. I get that she is supposed to be flawed, but so far I am only waiting to see her redeeming qualities bc I haven't noticed any.

And after that creating a strong well-written possible love interest only to kill her off young, unfulfilled and dead of her own phobia... Man. that's not just sad, that's tragically wasteful. But, probably, so it needs to feel, because in real life young talented people do die early sometimes and yada yada

The short story with Essi surprised me in a good way, bc before I didn't see that much drama and emotional tension in Witcher, it was all action and hot explosive romance between Yennefer and Geralt, so it makes me pissed that now we are kind of back to where we started.

''QUESTION HERE: Does Yennefer's and Geralt's love get any less dysfunctional as they grow and improve as characters or it's all the same mind-games and disrespect and pride? Because now, knowing that there could be a more fulfilling love interest, but it was taken away from us on purpose, I am pretty mad and want to know that the time I spend reading about those two bickering and running back to each other will be somehow justified in the end and I did not suffer in vain.''
