Hmm. Going this hard into Yennefer's backstory this early is a strange call. Still, lol. The Virgin Game of Thrones: Purple contacts interfered too much with the performance so we didn't do them. The Chad Witcher: You have violet eyes and a bunch of fucked up hunchback prosthetics. Go nuts.
Overall the trailer gives me mixed impressions. Some stuff looks good. Some stuff looks ridiculous. Also

Triss is a minor character in the books. In the show she's minor AND black so you should probably abandon all hope of a big titty redhead gf.
What's your native language? The English translation is pretty hit or miss, their might be a better one available. Or I'm just an exceptional individual and you already looked into it.
Elves in the books had pointy ears, often very bright or oddly colored eyes, sharp and distinctive facial features, and smaller, sharper teeth than humans.
Cavil looks great and also like he could break boulders with his pecs. Yen doesn't look the part so it'll come down to acting. Ciri better be a damned good actress because the relationships with her are going to be crucial. Since they look like they aged her up I imagine the writers get this.
As to Triss being a redhead or not...well, that's a bit rough. Different languages think about colors differently. Apparently the original description roughly translates to "chestnut" hair, but even that doesn't narrow things down much. So just assume canonically she'sa brownish-red redhead, or a reddish-brown brunette, or somewhere in between. Also Triss is worst girl.
Yeah, the unlikely family thrown apart by cataclysmic bullshit thing damn well better be the focus here.
Yeah that's probably from the ball at Thanedd. It's a great and hugely important sequence in the books where shit gets real. It's referenced in the games a decent amount.
Witcher stories are made up of four basic constituent elements. Politics, family relationship drama, monster hunting, and cynical parody of historical events/folklore. Of those, monster hunting gets the least focus in the books by a fairly wide margin.
Witcher 3 actually handled the politics pretty badly. If you want good Witcher politics, play Witcher 2.
The actress does not look how I'd imagine Yennefer but her age isn't the problem. Sorceresses rarely look older than their early 20's. Because what woman would, if they could choose not to?
Finally, to conclude a long autistic post: WHY THE FUCK ISN'T PERCIVAL DOING THE SOUNDTRACK YOU IGNORANT FUCKS, THEY WILL WORK FOR VODKA.
