Is this just rumors at this point? I can certainly believe it, I've just heard this before but only as gossip really, which I'm aware how of lot of lovely people get away with it for a while so not saying there's nothing there.

It also comes across pretty strongly that he doesn't view that woman as a person. Chris, what an rear end in a top hat.

Karia posted:In a similar YA vein, I remember Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones being great. It's the second book in the series, but can be read on its own (though the first book was good too, just didn't touch on magic school.) The general premise is that the magical universe has been invaded by a capitalist rear end in a top hat from our world, who forced all the magicians to put on big tourist shows where they go on a pilgrimage, defeat a demon lord, etc. At the end of the first book they overthrow him and end the tours, but the world's been totally wrecked by the years of rampant capitalism and tourism. Year of the Griffin is about a bunch of students going to the magical school and finding out that it's totally dysfunctional: the school is broke, the curriculum is still geared towards teaching students how to run the tours, and the teachers have little interest in helping the students explore and follow their passions. There's a pretty strong anti-capitalist vein to it. Holy poo poo I've been trying got remember the first book in that series for ages, and you've solved it for me. Dark Lord of Derkholm is what I was looking for but couldn't find based on my searches with half remembered plot points.

. . . wow I guess I'd swapped it in my head because I legit remembered this was the plan and not the bad one that's actually in the books. As I read the actual description I said to myself, wait, that's not right, it wasn't that dumb. I haven't read it in a long time, but even now I guess I'm giving Rothfuss more credit than he's due.

One thing I never know how to react is when folks start recommending it to me. I'm at a job where someone on a slack channel recommends the series, and I don't want to like immediately tell them it's so trash, but I also don't want it to go unremarked.
