HIJK posted:He was really eager for me to move on to Wise Man's Fear and knowing what I do now I'm scared as to why Maybe he was just really really into Tak. Speaking of, the theme of one of my buddy's Halloween parties this year is The King Killer Chronicles. It's all the way out in the burbs, but if I go I promise I will take pictures and post them. Depends on if this girl I'm seeing wants me to go to her thing or not (probably).

I'll slog my way through it just to finish the series. There's a not zero chance I'll flip to the last chapter and read that in the bookstore before deciding if reading the entire thing is worthwhile.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the Bast story is the best thing he's done. I think maybe Rothfuss would be an amazing Stephen King-esque writer, where he just pumps out tons of cool self contained short stories.

They didn't kill him because the story couldn't have that. It would have made more sense if he just spotted them from the woods and overheard everything.

So I decided I'm going to the King Killer party on Saturday. It's the second party I'm going to that night so I'll be rocking a light up suit since the other party's theme is "Prom" (ugh, got lovely themed parties this year). Gonna just say I'm a Chandrian because no one can say I'm wrong since they're never really discussed in detail. I'll post pics of my dorky idiot friends.

SpacePig posted:Sorry to hear about this. Hope everything is okay. It's an incredibly bad idea for a theme, but knowing my friends I doubt anyone besides the host is going to follow the rules. Especially since maybe like 4 of us have read it and it's just him that's obsessed with it. We'll be playing Tak though. We always do towards the end of the night.

I actually made a sort of effort post in the last thread. Well, effort for my lovely posting anyways. And apparent;y I can't quote closed threads...here, just have the pictures:  "Takky"    edit: It's kinda fun if you're drinking and not taking it seriously.

There is no such thing as a single book fantasy story anymore. Everything is always a series. Always. Take that self contained story poo poo and throw it onto your pile of garbage literature.

For $38 you could get a sad blowjob from a decent looking hooker or a decent blowjob from a sad looking hooker. Either would probably be more enjoyable and wouldn't take nearly 2 hours.

Pash posted:I'm going to hate read the third book, but I'm not going to spend any money on it, I'm going to get it from my local library. But of course by read the third book I mean not read it because its never coming out and there is no third book. I'm gonna have to read it. Sort of like when I go past the first 5 episodes of a show I have to finish out the season no matter how bad it is. I made it through The Finder, I can make it through this fantasy series. If it ever comes out. It won't.

I think Kvothe renamed himself (completely) to Kote. It's foreshadowed way to much and Rothfuss isn't a creative enough writer to change it up. I'll make some predictions as well: - The Chandrian will not show up, or if they do they will be the good guys - Bast stays awesome and turns out to be the "End Boss"

Dude, that was Kvothe. Not Rothfuss. Kvothe was super duper good at sex with the sex goddess and then she loved him because he was so good at sex with her. But he was also strong, but not totally stronger than her, but still stronger than her because he was strong and good at sex.

Nakar posted:I always wonder how that works, as there are more than a few such books in the genre. Is it one of the participants just straight up ripping off their friends by repackaging the story they created together and taking all the credit for it as "author?" This seems like something that could make for a really interesting lawsuit. Pffft, easy. Create an LLC to act as your holding company with equal ownership and publish under a pen name.

I don't think Lin-Manuel Miranda thinks Rothfuss' writing about music is credible, but he's getting paid a ton of money. How often do you hear people say "The source material sucks, but we'll see if I can't salvage something interesting out of this mess" when discussing giant popular properties for a major network?

Someone in the thread nailed it when they said Rothfuss writes about missing music as if Kvothe lost his iPod and not like someone who has lost the music in his heart.

Playing with less strings while making your own music and playing an established song written for all strings are two totally different things. It's incredibly stupid, but I don't have as big of a problem with that as I did with loving Denna being the girl that sings along with him and she's fantastic and she cares more about him than the guy she's with and she totally knows that and Kvothe totally knows that, and that stupid guy could never truly understand her the way Kvothe does because they went on a wagon trip once together.

LostRook posted:Later books in the series follow Kvothe being distracted from writing his memoirs as he must do battle with the Chandarian by publishing passive-aggressive reviews of their books in the Arcanist Monthly. Kvothe jauntily signs a copy of Haliax's book with the inscription "Way to kill my family when Iax'd you not to!" as he poses for Sim to quiclky paint a picture of him and the kid just trying to buy the damned book.
