Is the Slow Regard of Silent Things...worth reading if you've read the other two books and are waiting for the third book?

I'm wondering if he planned out the story to be a trilogy originally or just made the first book, saw that it was financially(if not critically) successful and tried to continue from there, and said it was a trilogy just to say something about his work.

I find myself shocked at the lengthy reviews of both books but then he continues his review of Eloise after calling her just a little bitch with more words that just hurt my soul.

Now I really wish I had picked up a signed copy of TNOTW at my local BN so I could scribble over the signature myself.

If the Kingkiller Duo is on top of Fantasy Books list, what are some good reads on that same list? Looking to read something new.

Man, I came into this thread hoping that the new posts was an indication of the third book coming out. Are there any recommendations for good fictional books with fake history?

I'm really hoping that in the third book, Kvothe will finish telling his story and then go out to deal with the menacing (?) creatures near his tavern and then gets killed. I want the story within the story to end, so we can go back to the real story.

I wonder if it a lot of the anger with the series would be better if Rothfuss just announced that there would be an additional book to the trilogy to tie up loose ends.

pentyne posted:Does this thread have the posting where someone talked about how Rothfuss torches bridges and personal networking because of his ego and attitude? Like they implied that Rothfuss was dismissive and disrespectful to LMM during meetings about the Kingkiller adaption. Yes.

I'm not sure I understand what french scenes are, still. Also why not start off your story with french scenes? Why not write your story from the beginning with french scenes instead of having regular scenes and then transition into french scenes?

Sham bam bamina! posted:Genuinely despairing at the number of people giving this book low reviews. I'm convinced that many of them must be trolls, and the rest are simply, not meaning to cause offence, incapable of appreciating what makes a good piece of literature. The majority of these negative comments cite 'the annoying, implausible main character' as the main cause of their displeasure - let me draw your attention to Achilles of the Iliad (which, by the way, is arguably the greatest piece of literary fiction to have been composed), to the eponymous hero of the Harry Potter series (far and away the best-selling book series of all time - and little wonder, it's great!), to Shakespeare's Hamlet, protagonist of one of the greatest plays that will ever be written: the best heroes throughout the history of literature are balanced by their flaws and their assets, as Kvothe so demonstrably is. This book is a skilfully composed amalgam of several distinct genres of fiction - the Epic, the bildungsroman, the romance - and as such, fails in no respect to appeal to all types of avid reader. Whether you seek a sentimental tale of love and loss, a thrilling journey of toil and hardship, or a provocative fable with deeper moral implications, this novel has facets which should appeal to you. Most striking to me personally are the honesty of Rothfuss' characterisation and the beauty of his prose. Having read a vast quantity of fiction, from dozens of esteemed authors spanning millennia, I can categorically say that this is one of the best books I have ever had the joy of reading, and one with uncommonly high rereadability; indeed, I feel I gain more pleasure from this book with each subsequent reading, as I perceive more about the inner workings of the characters, the subtleties of the plot, and the deeper nuances and themes of the text as a whole. I genuinely believe that those who have given this book 1-star reviews should have their opinions nullified - the only explanation is that they have misunderstood the text entirely, and as such their misguided observations do not reflect the true brilliance that Patrick Rothfuss has achieved here. What alt account did Pat post this from?

Maybe he just has those boxes from hoarding and they are around his room for easy reachable snacking. His answer about wanting a grand gesture for the release of the third book rubbed me the wrong way. You've had a decade to write the third book, your audience just wants some news about the book.

One issue that I have with the stories is that Kvothe is just telling his story to the chronicler and that he still might have to deal with the monsters that are outside his tavern.

TheGreatEvilKing posted:It's kind of amazing how little Kvothe achieved to be this supposedly legendary outlaw. He, uh, helped a mayor get laid, killed a nonthreatening not a dragon by getting it super high, didn't get anywhere with Denna, banged some women with low standards, and supposedly made out with the sex goddess in a way no one can prove or disprove. Maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg and we will really get to the awesome part of his legacy in the next/last book.

Maybe Rohtfuss' silence on social media means he is furiously trying to work on the next book like a student on the night before a 22 page paper is due.
