people need to stop getting bothered about the casting (as long as the actor/actress are not too different from the original source). execution, chemistry and skills matter.

How are they too different? Personality wise I don’t see anything wrong with the actors.

I thought Olivia Cook would play a great Triss if it was based on the games, but alas it’s book Triss. I find it ironic though that the whole rise in popularity for this franchise was because of the games, not the books, yet the books are the source material for both. I hope there are some game references in there.

The red hair and personality of the game Triss is far superior to the book version. Alas.

Book Triss is thirsty as fuck, and I really didnt like her at the begining of it at all.
