MegaToxic : I hope this is an okay place for this.

Now I have played the Witcher games before reading the books (started with Witcher 2 on Xbox). After I finished Witcher 3 I had to start reading the books. I started Last Wish about a week ago and just finished it today. What a great read it was, I love the backstory you get. I love how it goes from present time (in the book perspective) to past events.

Now my first time playing Witcher 3 I was looking forward to finally seeing Yen. However the more interaction I had with her in the game the more annoyed with her I got. First Ii felt she treated Geralt like a dog, and Geralt in the book even says this although he is cut off at the end by Nenneke. And I feel like she doesn't care about the consequences of her actions. I was hoping by reading the books (although I have only read Last Wish so far) that I would understand an like her. However the last wish story has kind of ruined that so far. She clearly knows she has power and uses it the wrong way to get what she wants and doesn't really care, that is a characteristic that bothers me with characters. Towards the end of The Last Wish I felt a little better but still have an annoyance with her. I am also not sure why Geralt wants to be with her after what she did to him and made him do. I am hoping by reading more of the books I can come to like Yen but from the games I always go with Triss because she just seems to treat Geralt better and seems somewhat the opposite of Yen.

This isn't meant to be a Yen or Triss rant, I just wanted to express my views on the book which without a doubt is a very great read.
