Wow, Ex! He really died... or did he?
Evidence for:
1) The journey down the river – according to some traditions, those who passed into the other world were buried this way.
2) The inclusion of ghosts at the end of the book is not accidental.
3) Ciri's monologue, saying that Geralt and Yennefer got married, and everyone was at the wedding: Cahir, Angulema, Regis, Milva, etc.
4) Ciri's escape to another world indicates that nothing was holding her back in the previous one.
5) Finally, this idea of "something ends, something begins," but we can dismiss it; who knows what was meant here – the beginning of life for other generations, other perspectives... or perhaps the continuation of life in another world? After all, the journey down the river and that unicorn evoke certain thoughts.
Evidence against:
1) Yennefer was still alive.
2) What's the point of the unicorn?
3) The story "Something Ends, Something Begins" (or "The Wedding of the Sorceress"). However, we shouldn't take this "joke" into consideration, as it contains serious inconsistencies not only with the entire saga but especially with the last book: the meeting with Galahad clearly contradicts the beginning of "The Lady of the Lake." And why would Ciri, who had dreamed of peace all her life, suddenly feel drawn to travel? Sapkowski usually made very smooth transitions and explained changes in the characters' souls directly or indirectly, but here it's all unclear...
4) The game, "allegedly" a continuation of the book, was developed with Sapkowski's participation. Well, we can dismiss that too.
It seems to me that Sapkowski didn't even want to reveal whether the Witcher died or not, letting people think about it and decide for themselves.
What do you think?
