As far as pure, epic fantasy goes, we thought this year would end in disappointment with all the madness surrounding the Game of Thrones finale. Though right at the end of the year, we got arguably one of the best magical fantasy shows for quite some time with The Witcher.

Henry Cavil dons the armor, white hair and sword of the mutation powered White Wolf as he goes on a warpath against monsters and men, all the while trying to run away from his own destiny. However when he realizes there is nowhere to go and no one left to go to, he decides it is time take responsibility.

That responsibility is a beautiful Princess who is bound to him thanks to a sacred covenant but, her grandmother, the Queen of Cintra had other ideas. Not wanting to part from her las living heir, she shuns Geralt and denies him what is his.

However the higher powers are not to be messed with. The breaching of the Law of Surprise triggers the end of Cintra at the hands of the invading southern kingdom Nilfgaard. A story told over three different timelines, the plot finally converges on the point where the destinies of all become one, making for an incredible finish as well leaving us anxious for the next season.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
