God hates a coward

I'm still kind of mad how the first book sucked me in at first, and then it was just an endless sequence of dumb not-romance, Mary Sue horseshit and revenge fantasy.

Am I gonna hate read the last book if it ever drops? Probably!

Well on my first read of book 1 I was pretty compelled, but when I finished and started thinking about things it put me off pretty hard.

Then book 2 confirmed the fear that it was in fact, unredeemable garbage.

I think the narration style was pretty novel at first, maybe thats what got me at first.

Thread should stay open, I'm not gonna know if Rothfuss will ever get his comeuppance otherwise.

Maybe someone here could get AI to write that third book?

I bet a talentless hack like rothfuss is salivating at the thought of having AI do his work for him so he can spend more time rearranging his cereal boxes.

I can’t believe this thread finally roped in an actual living breathing Rothfuss fan. Clearly, this is the spice that we were missing.

It's always funny when they run out of steam and just bail on the thread. That always happens at some point and they they go 'goons grrr!' On reddit or whereever rothfuss fans hang out

It was the first and last book I bought at the recommendation of Penny Arcade.

Same but a few years earlier I got World War Z on their recommendation which was honestly fine if nothing special.

Rothfuss is just a unique combo of awfulness
