Mhm. Yes, I have difficulties imagining Yen storming blindly off to chase the Wild Hunt who had kidnapped Geralt. I think she would have gone to a good library, have done research, thought it over, selected some options, and then tried to locate them with magic, contrary to Geralt's impulsive methods of blindly running around in the wilderness.
Anyway, you seem to miss a little detail, when accusing Yen of not seeking Geralt after her memory was returned by the mages who served the people who held her imprisoned at the time. That little detail would be the surprising fact that she was inconveniently imprisoned at the time and thus sort of not in a position to locate Geralt.
When Emhyr set her on Ciri's trail and got the "regicides are fun!"-assassination plot going, we were already well into the events of TW1 - meaning that the henna-haired one already had done her move and was broadcasting in the sorceress megascope-twitter world about it (compare her chat with "Keira-Philippa" in TW1), and so Yen had all the reasons in the world to be upset that Geralt had apparently run off with that cow, while she herself was in jail.
I think I even once calculated how much "free time" Yennefer actually had, just a couple of months compared to Geralt having almost 3 years. If she also was with Emhyr, she was most likely deep down in Nilfgaard, several hundreds of kilometres away from Geralt. The only difference was that Yennefer had people helping her getting rid of the amnesia, just imagine Geralt had people among him doing the same, ops.
When Geralt got his memory back (on his own) at the end of Witcher 2, he pretty much immediately went south to look for Yennefer. While during this he got Yennefer's letter, therefore the beginning of Witcher 3. There was almost no time in which Yennefer had been able to contact him any sooner, because she was either imprisoned or had no opportunity to do so.
Also do you really think the Lodge (and/or Triss) would have allowed that? How do you send a letter to someone without an adress anyway?
In Witcher 1 Triss was even spying for the Lodge regarding Geralt, that's not a guess, it is shown in the games. She is being told to keep an eye on him. That's also why Geralt is angry with her at the end of Witcher 2, because he demands answers for her actions.
Also even though people accuse Yennefer all the time of controlling Geralt's life, she never forced him to stay nor force him to come back to her, not once. It's actually Geralt who always comes back to her, she was even furious about this inconsistent way of treatment, therefore she was also quite surprised he didn't look after her immediately again, because that's what he always did, even in the games!
Geralt followed the Wild Hunt to rescue Yennefer until he succeeded, then she lost her memory and when she finally got it back, the first news she gets about Geralt is that he is bedding with red hair. Seems to be great news to hear and even though she still wrote him anyway, but hey, let's put all the blame on her...
Ahh, I see nothing really changed, the same comments, the same reactions and still no reply by a RED. Old year, new year, all the same I guess.
