For anyone who has read the Geralt of Rivia saga books and also watched the series of The Witcher It will not be a surprise to learn that Netflix has made multiple changes in Andrzej Sapkowski’s story and that this is the main reason for the departure of Henry Cavill and the replacement by Liam Hemsworth, who will play Geralt of Rivia from the fourth season. That is why today we want to talk to you about 5 Changes The Witcher Series Made From The Books That Ended Up Driving Henry Cavill Away of the fiction led by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who still silent on the progress of the British actor after the third season.
The “reunion” of Geralt and Ciri
The first season of The Witcher concluded as The Sword of Destiny, with Geralt and Ciri meeting again in the middle of the war and finally uniting their destinies. However, in the series it was not a reunion, because the moment they met years ago in the Brokilón forest does not exist in Netflix fiction, which makes their first meeting lose emotional charge.
Skele’s death
One of the great surprises of the second season was the appearance and almost instantaneous death of Eskel, one of the Kaer Morhen wizards most loved by fans. His attitude is lousy while he lives, although he does it for a short time. The Netflix series did not do it justice.
Yennefer’s loss of powers

Yennefer’s betrayal of Geralt
As a result of this aforementioned loss of powers, Voleth Meir, the villain of the second season, Yennefer is forced to “capture” Ciri and take her away from Geralt. Thus begins their relationship in the series. In the books, on the other hand, Yennefer goes to instruct the little girl because of the appreciation she has for the sorcerer and soon forges a mother-child relationship with the girl.
Voleth Meir
The entire plot of the second season of The Witcher revolves around the figure of Voleth Meir, completely original and has nothing to do with the stories of Sapkowski. Yennefer’s powers, Ciri’s abilities, Eskel’s death. Everything originates from this figure invented by the creators of the series, one of the most controversial points in all of fiction.
