HIJK posted:Like I said in the past: it’s Twilight for boys. Rothfuss has decent enough prose that he can trick people into thinking that they’re reading something good, and he has some legitimate potential, but his execution is rough. I once disrespected Nickelback on a second date with a lady who it turned out loved them so I want you to know I appreciate this tale

Capisano posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/KingkillerChronicle/comments/rgg794/doors_of_stone_prologue_a_silence_of_three_parts So that was the prologue, which was all that was read today. Recently he'd made some sort of wager saying "if worldbuilders hits $333,333 before i kill the Ender Dragon in Minecraft, I'll release the prologue, a chapter, and another 'special surprise'" https://clips.twitch.tv/AbrasiveFairTomato4Head-Y_-x_D5GBqMML4HD Charity goal was crushed, naturally, and today he...read just the prologue and put the other chapter behind another charity stretch goal. As far as I know nobody has any idea what the "special surprise" ever was, which checks out. The grift here is awe-inspiring even having checked in on this thread for years. It's just Kickstarter But For Other Existing Charities!!!!! mp5 fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Dec 15, 2021 |

pentyne posted:Anyone trying to pick book 1 and read it is going to tag Kvothe as an pseudo-incel and probably drop the book when everything goes right for him no matter what. This was more or less my experience when I tried to read NOTW a few years back; I think I made at a little over halfway through before it went back to the library.
