DA

I'm just tired of modern fantasy with entirely unsympathetic main characters. Can we go back to fantasy with at least one character I can root for, please.

That's the reason I didn't make it far in GoT, but I don't think the Witcher has that problem. I do like two of the three main characters (Geralt and Ciri), and while Yennefer is not a good person, I am intersted in her and in a way root more for her than the other two. The fertility quest to me reads like just the latest flavor of trying to find a purpose in life. Yennefer had no purpose on her family's farm, had none at school, was promised a position at a court where she was supposed to advise the king, then that position was taken from her and so she broke the rules to take it back. But after 30 years, that job, too, became mundane, so Yennefer, who doesn't age and still has a long life ahead of her, started to look for a new purpose – and fixated on being a mother. I think her characterization is an interesting counterpoint to Geralt, who has his own quarrels with his purpose and Destiny, and probably Ciri in the future, who I guess has to find her own purpose.

The writing on that show is flawed, but imo, the main characters and their overall motivations are done well.

Yes, they're setting up a parenthood/mentor relationship between Yennefer and Ciri. I suspect part of the problem with Season 1 is that it's adapted from short stories set before the big Yennefer/Ciri/Geralt saga gets rolling.
