The Witcher is much better than the Wheel of Time, but it has the same flaw found in both adaptations. It's obvious that when media giants like Netflix and Amazon buy the TV rights to a major book series, all they are really interested in is the concept, the major characters, and the fictional world. Everything else they treat like a rough first draft of a script that can be changed, altered, or transformed into something that suits their purposes. The Wheel of Time was changed beyond all recognition while at least The Witcher retains much of the original story, but I will never forgive the showrunner for what she did to Eskil and the laying of the blame for that upon Ciri. Congratulations, you just infuriated the over 30 million people who bought the game containing Eskil and Ciri's story. It's understandable how the Tolkien Estate guards his legacy so fiercely from the attention of big media companies. I'm only continuing with this series because I like the lead characters so much.

To everyone who finds the story difficult to follow and the timeline all over the place, that's exactly how the books were written so at least they've retained that much from them.
