After I figured out the timeline crap, it got better. I am looking forward to the next season to see what else they do with it. The order of the books is also confusing as hell. The book number doesn't necessarily match the correct order; some of the same books have different numbers. Some aren't numbered at all. I didn't know what the hell to read first (I haven't started them yet), but I did find out which order to read them according to the author if anyone's interested: Here is a full recommended reading order: The Last Wish Sword of Destiny Blood of Elves Time of Contempt Baptism of Fire The Swallow’s Tower Lady of the Lake Season of Storms
I didn’t even realize they were books for the longest time. I played the games before & that’s why I was looking forward to the show. Have you read all of em?
I haven't read any of them yet. It was somewhat recently that I found out what order they go in, and I haven't even bought them yet. I hoping to get to them this summer.
I might give em a shot too. The concept has always been pretty interesting. Been a while since I got into a good book series.
Most of the ratings are positive, so that's a good sign. Let me know what you think if you read them.
The timeline jumping around doesn’t bother me. It’s not hard to see what they’re trying to do and it’s cool. It’s. Just. So. Goofy at times. And, I hate Leolis ... er ... uh ... I meant the bard. Too silly. The song is nice, but it’s too modern sounding and it doesn’t fit the tone of the production. I think it may be just me. I’m just not a fan of that kind of humor for this show. It just doesn’t “fit” to me. Hopefully the writing will save it as I get deeper into the episodes.
Thank you. So, I’m not the only one. The show would be so much better if were more serious. Are the books or game that humorous?
Try "The Last Kingdom" when you're done with "The Witcher". You won't be disappointed. I'm not personally willing to go out on limb & say TLK is as good as GoT (Although I'm sure there are people on other forums & Reddit who will), but TLK is definitely way better than "The Witcher" or "Vikings".
