I've read a rare few books I disliked more than this one. This is my #1 Listen. One thing I can say for Patrick Rothfuss is that he has great ideas. The fact that on one page late on we discover he's not genius level at mathematics hardly balances that he picks up a difficult new language, makes startling progress at marshal arts, and impresses a sex fairy with his sexing, even though it's his first time. Vashet: "Even a mother's love?
The second compliant, however, still applies. Get your shit together! Shrug* Yeah, I don't get it either. Biographies & Memoirs. Written by: Lucy Score.
Still waiting on the 3rd book. Immediately following the fight with the mercenaries, he goes into the Fae, immediately following that, he goes to the Adem, immediately following that he rescues two young girls from rapists disguised as troupers... lame plot point after lame plot point in quick sequence, without any breathing room, which makes little sense considering how much of the start of the book is filled with the mundane sequence of "Look for Denna. Beautifully written, and easy to get into. View All Categories. It's such a unique point. I think it's an important preamble, because very nearly every page of this 1000 page epic screams "edit me".
You can find the rest of my reviews at Novel Notions | I also have a Booktube channel. The rivalry began as mere teasing and has now developed into something much more dangerous. For example, compiling from the available two novels (more or less 1, 600 pages) of the series so far, out of those pages, Kvothe spent about 600 pages in the University; that's the entire length of The Name of the Wind already. If sex scenes offend you, you'll be doing quite a bit of skipping. Narrated by: Robert Bathurst. This often stops me. Just give us the third book already. He goes on fun adventures, meets interesting characters, and is stunningly clever. It seems impossible for Rothfuss to write The Doors of Stone satisfyingly; there's still so much of Kvothe's story to be told. The boy with the golden screw bellybutton was so funny. I somehow survived the four year wait between books one and two. I do not know who came up with the rule that in every work of fiction there must needs be a love story, but guess what.
Original review: Not sure whether to rate this 4 or 5 stars yet, but I think I'll end up probably changing it to 5. We now haves this book and we reads it. So all the listener has to be worried about is the end or how the story finally gets concluded. You know when you go to the local Enormous Portions restaurant and go with the meat in the rich gravy with the fries and onion rings, and the mud pie for dessert, and a couple of drinks, and you enjoy it all. Written by: Dave Hill.
Even in its unfinished state, the series is now included in one of my favorite trilogy of all-time list. It's been two tomes with over a thousand pages long and somehow, you're still lurking around that damned place! Especially because she has expressed no romantic interest in him at all and frequently attaches herself to other men IN HIS PRESENCE, INCLUDING his arch-nemesis Ambrose. The real Lily disappeared in combat in August 1943, and the facts of her life are slim, but they have inspired Lilian Nattel's indelible portrait of a courageous young woman driven by family secrets to become an unlikely war hero. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet. There's a tendency when reading a series to rate the books against each other rather than against the world. P. s. As this is of note to many of those in my audience, I feel that I should mention that this book contains a fair bit more sex than the previous volume did. So, let's put to one side the fact that if you think the story is about revenge on the Chandrian then basically nothing happened, and note instead that all the 'side' adventuring was fun to read and very well written.
I struggle to understand the appeal. I knew every piece of information was part of a larger puzzle, and I just tried to grasp every piece I could because I knew it was purposeful. HULK WANT TO MAKE KVOTHE BEST BLOODSTAIN! The frame story continues to bore me. Denna is annoying and pointless, but you can skip any chapter about her and miss little to nothing because she's not important to the plot and serves no purpose at all except to make Kvothe so lovesick that he screws 25+ other girls during the course of the book. Reason does not enter into it.
