Assuming it's ever released. It might not be. Maybe Rothfuss decides to go into poetry or some other poo poo he's unqualified to do.

Reene posted:City of Brass was alright. It needed some polish, and I expect the next one to be better in that respect. Yes, hello, that will never happen. The Stormlight books never get interesting, as of at least the last current book in the series. I got so bored I actually just dropped the book and didn't bother finishing the last 100 pages. The Mistborn trilogy was definitely better and more engaging, but this is my personal opinion subject to bias etc. etc.

It's not the worst writing I've ever seen (I reserve that for Lev "aptly named" Grossman and the fox sex bullshit) but it's wayyy up there.

Ornamented Death posted:The "charity" paid him three times more in rent than it gave out for charitable reasons for the most recent year data is available. Just because he isn't drawing a salary doesn't mean he's not using the charity to enrich himself. So guy's a piece of poo poo. Gotcha.

Ccs posted:Read some Christopher Buehlman. His new book The Blacktongue Thief has similarities to the good parts of Kingkiller alongside actual control over pacing and payoff. Seconding this, also pick up between two fires as well as some more of Buehlman's work. He's very good, and unlike ol' Pat he actally writes.

Ccs posted:The first book was a great read back in my freshman year of college so in my mind there is a nostalgia-stained "good" version of The Name of the Wind. I still think there are nuggets of good ideas there, but many of them were employed much better by Christopher Buehlman in his recent book "The Blacktongue Thief". It helps that Buehlman is a hell of a lot better as an author. His other works are also pretty damned good.

I should reread Between Two Fires, now that you mention it, absolutely fantastic book.

Notahippie posted:Yeah, Blacktongue thief is more or less traditional fantasy, done well. Between Two Fires is Bosch in writing. Did he write more vampire books than The Lesser Dead? Anyway, that book is probably his weakest work I've read so far, but that's mainly because of the beginning. By the end of the book I had a strong favourable opinion of it, so it definitely is a book that asks for a little faith and patience to start off.
