Eerkik posted:I understand why this book gets so much hate, but I have to say that I enjoy it a lot. I just read it again yesterday and was captivated. Different strokes, I guess. The beginning of the year is going to be amazing. Rothfuss and Abercrombie are coming out with new poo poo, and Game of Thrones premiers on HBO in April.

I'll toss my hat in with the dummies and say I love Name of The Wind and I can't wait for the sequel.

The next 1.5 months are going to be amazing. Joe Abercrombie comes out with his new book in February, followed up by Rothfuss. I can't wait!

I just finished it. Say one thing for Patrick Rothfuss, say he writes some awkward poo poo in regards to love/romance/sex.

just_a_guy posted:On the subject of the fight scene. It seems to me that Bast was getting what he intended, which is to say Kvothe was getting is grrove back on and joyfully kicking rear end. Suddenly he was like "Woops i'm a poor innkeeper better get my rear end kicked" It is quite conceivable that he lost is magic by name-changing or whatever, but, if he is not just a poor sap riding his overly exaggerated reputation his physical proesse should be unchanged. My point his: He's a liar and can't fight for poo poo nor is he a great hero or he was faking it. and the book did not yet answer that I would love to have Kvothe be a liar and his whole reputation a sham. Unfortunately, the fact that Bast looks up to him and is his student, that pretty much throws that theory out the window.

My favorite parts of the book were when Kvothe was losing or getting his rear end beat. When he failed to persuade the boy not to join the army, or when he got his rear end beat by Devi. Also, I took great joy when the bandits beat him in his bar. I think Joe Abercrombie has ruined me.

Could someone please tell me what chapter Exal Dal(?) showed Kvothe that he knew the name of Fire. I can't seem to find it.

The best part of the second book was Kvothe getting his rear end kicked in the bar, and the following scene with Bast. Those felt like the most genuine scenes in the book.
