One common complaint I see is that this season feels like a collection of side-quests that don't feel connected in any way and that the show doesn't really have an over-arching story. I have to agree. And this isn't a fault of the show itself; the show is based on the book The Last Wish which is just a collection of short stories that aren't necessarily connected. It's hard for a show to have an over-arching story when the thing they are adapting doesn't have one. I imagine this problem will be solved in future seasons when they start adapting the actual novels like Blood of Elves. I'm guessing season 2 or 3 might be the start of the novels and I'm excited for it.
