The Last Wish [The Last Wish]

"The Voice of Reason 6 & 7" & "The Last Wish"

The first Witcher book goes out with a bang! Sapkowski's dark, thoughtful fantasy world expands hugely with a short story about magic and love and a magical love that leaves us full of questions. Cam's got a theory about Yennifer that suggests she's more powerful than anyone we ever met in Middle-earth. (There are some worrying comparisons to Sauron, Gandalf, and Shelob) Maggie's got a whole bunch of concerns about the power of the djinn and the titanic ramifications of Geralt's mysterious "last wish". We also wrap up our coverage of the "Voice of Reason" framing device and consider the bookends and ideas that connected the short stories we've read so far. Join us next Friday for the first short story in the next collection, Sword of Destiny!

Cam also shares a very dumb idea about an easter bunny for adults.
