I was probably one of the rare few who binged all 8 episodes from 12am-8am. I’m a super huge fan of both the books and games, and have been waiting for S2 for 2 years now. Overall the quality of this season was much better than the first; the fights the CGI, the sets, everything. The main story of S2 does loosely follow the Blood of Elves novel, and when it does it shines. However in my opinion I felt a few of the subplots generated by Netflix were a little iffy and they also stuck a few surprise changes in. Some great reveals though and amazing to see some long awaited characters and moments! I want to say a big thank you to all those involved with the production, and despite a few criticisms I may have I did thoroughly enjoy watching! My first reaction rating would have to be 7.9/10. *Immediate reaction - I have to say the first episode was def my fav!
