Yes we’re sad, yes we’re emotional, but we’re also thrilled. This ending is perfect, poignant, surprising, devastating, and revealing. We get our final word on some of our long-standing philosophical grindstones, like the problem of evil, destiny, and non-intervention. Cam’s got a theory about the pointed flashbacks in these last few chapters and their importance for Sapkowski’s notion of heroism. Maggie explores the cyclical nature of time and the empowering humility of prophecy.</p> <p class="p1"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-0-0"><span data-text= "true">LINKS:</span></span> <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/SecondBreakfastPodcast">Patreon</a>, <a class="sc-afquy-0 kpuBjA" href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqnRp4x_GUsqYG1CMz0hqAA"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-1-0"><span data-text="true">YouTube</span></span></a><span data-offset-key="e72tt-2-0"><span data-text="true">, </span></span><a class="sc-afquy-0 kpuBjA" href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/5vW27X128PCDOs0RClbPqI"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-3-0"><span data-text="true">Spotify</span></span></a><span data-offset-key="e72tt-4-0"><span data-text="true">, </span></span><a class="sc-afquy-0 kpuBjA" href= "https://www.instagram.com/secondbreakfastpod/"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-5-0"><span data-text="true">Instagram</span></span></a><span data-offset-key="e72tt-6-0"><span data-text="true">, </span></span><a class="sc-afquy-0 kpuBjA" href="https://www.cameronfucile.com/"><span data-offset-key= "e72tt-7-0"><span data-text="true">Cam’s stories</span></span></a></p> <p
