EC posted:It's fairly clear to me that all of the (mis)adventures Kvothe gets into have an impact on the overall story, which is him finding and exacting revenge on the Chandrian for killing his family. Except Rothfuss has said in interviews that not everything has a purpose. Something along the lines of (paraphrasing) "It's a biography. Every part of someone's life isn't about some big overarching plot." So I'd say very little of it will have much of an impact.

Habibi posted:It's going to turn out that he has to sex the Chandrian to death, and that all of his adventures learning sympathy / naming / how to be a ninja are going to be incidental to him literally raping the Chandrian with whispering hands. If this were true, I would send that man so much money.

Lord Turtle posted:I've seen a lot of fantasy books that fail at even simple setting creation, and Rothfuss manages that to a tee. His world is disjointed and nonsensical. World-building is Tolkien, Martin, Erikson. Rothfuss has hogwarts, ninjatown, generic inn, and faerie sexland. And gypsies.

Affi posted:For some reason I loved the Denna lovestory, she's a really interesting character and I think while Kvothe looks like a Mary Sue he isn't. Patrick Rothfuss spotted.

Khizan posted:The thing that I enjoy so much about Rothfuss' writing is how perfectly polished his prose is. Rothfuss basically spins straw into gold when he writes, turning a fairly mediocre story into this smoothly flowing work of loving art. Actually his prose is about as purple as it gets. He may shine in comparison to R.A. Salvatore and the like but he's a pretty terrible writer.
