YMMV / The Time of Contempt

Go To

  • Broken Base: The nature of Mistle and Ciri's relationship is one of the most divisive in the fanbase. It's widely regarded as creepy, as Mistle by all accounts took advantage of Ciri's physical and emotional exhaustion to have her way with her, and yet they both still started a somewhat romantic relationship despite that. Some point out that it's a case of Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female, but others argue it's not so clean-cut, with future books indicating that Ciri's feelings for Mistle are complicated, resenting her but sticking with her simply to avoid loneliness.
  • Ho Yay: One way to read Vilgefortz's desire to recruit Geralt as his right-hand man and fitting with the sexually flexible nature of wizards in the setting.
