So I texted my friend regarding his thoughts on the Beatles’ new song, Now and Then. He responded by asking me what I thought about Patrick Rothfuss‘ new book. I didn’t know what to say… I did not know he had a new book. A quick Internet search yielded the result that Rothfuss released a novella...

Hi all, I've recently picked up the first two books in the Kingkiller Chronicles but haven't started the series yet. It's a longshot but are there any suggestions as to when the third and final part may be released? The reason I ask is because since beginning ASOIAF I'm now loath to begin a...

After reading both books, particularly the part about the time that Kvothe spent with the Maer and his lady love Meluan Lackless, I developed a theory. As know one whom I've met in person has read both books I figured I would state my theory here. I think that the reason Lady Lackless doesn't...

I was talking to my brother-in-law the other day, describing the brief outline of The Name of the Wind (he's curious now there's a film coming out). When I mentioned The Chronicler he jokingly said that maybe that's a nod to this message board. I scoffed the idea at first but then I suddenly...

And sets a few things straight with fans about the pressures of being wildly successful: Pat Rothfuss (@PatrickRothfuss) on Twitter (I've edited the exchange to the reading order of the forums, so the oldest Tweet is first, the newest is last.)

Patrick Rothfuss had done 11 interviews in the 2 days previous to this one and generously allowed SFFChronicles to conduct yet another! Pat, 13 years of writing and submitting, rejected by every known agent and publisher in the universe, there must have been times when you wanted to give up...

Patrick is doing a livestream Q&A session for two hours tonight!! It's from 8-10 our time, but it's a rubbish night to go out, let's be honest... Go easy on him, he'll have just finished a skype conversation with me before this... The interview will be posted here as soon as I can transcribe...

To an internet near you! http://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2015/11/worldbuilders-2015/ See 9th November if you're not sure what it's all about. And coming soon: an interview with the man himself... watch this space.

I'm sure I saw mention of a public bidding war, held at Comic Con 2015, for the film rights to Pat Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles - however, I can only find this at the moment: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/comic-con-name-wind-novel-807447 IIRC, studios are looking to see what...

The Name of the Wind Patrick Rothfuss Daw, Apr 2007, $24.95, 904 pp. ISBN: 075640407X As a child, Kvothe traveled with his parents from town to town as part of a troupe giving performances. His parents were quite talented, had the patronage of a lord, and stopped at only the best places. The...

The Wise Man’s Fear Patrick Rothfuss Daw, Mar 1 2011, $29.95 ISBN 9780756404734 Kvothe of the Waystone Inn continues to tell his life history as he sought information and risked his life many times over to learn information about the mythical Chandrian seven; demi deities who brutally murdered...

I've finished reading all the Kingkiller connected books. And I have a weird little theory. Anyway, the Chronicler. His birth name, Devan Lochees. Lochees family is an offshoot of Lockless family and distantly related to Lackless family. He is also described as one of perhaps two score people...

Worth following this link (find 4th April if you're reading this much later) for the fight between Rothfuss's Felurian and Terry Pratchett's Susan http://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2015/04/suvudu-cage-match-felurian-vs-death/ and then for the final of the Suvudu cage match between Felurian and...

Hmm. Where to start a discussion of this little book? It starts out with an odd forward from the author, where he says that you may not like the tome. From there, Rothfuss takes you into the underground world of Auri, and it's a mighty strange place. The writing style is somewhat...

this is coming from a thread about cliches I was involved in elsewhere. Reading NOTW and, especially, BMF, I felt Kvothe was clearly of the chosen one ilk. I felt he was born to complete some sort of task, and that his skills etc lent themselves to thag trope. Others, however, felt there was no...

For those of you interested Mr Rothfuss has decided to delight us with a new book based around Auri. Details here: The News: The Slow Regard of Silent Things Release dates and that still haven't been determined but I for one am very excited! Hopefully this and the short story anthology should...

Just pinched this from Boneman's comments in critiques: Dialogue is harder to write. Dialogue takes longer to write. Dialogue takes more words. Dialogue takes more space. But it seems like it's faster, and quicker for the reader to read. Now, far from it for me to argue with Patrick...

I don't know about anyone else but the way he describes kvothe's relationships and his admitted personal life details with women seriously hits home for me. Why is it that being nice makes women uninterested. The way the kvothe fails with women like I and I'm sure many others reading this do...

Hi guys, I hope this is the right place to be posting a thread like this. I was just wondering... has anyone else been blown away by the works of Patrick Rothfuss? If you have not yet had the chance to read 'Name of The Wind' or 'Wise Man's Fear' I highly recommend them. Perhaps it is just that...

It's no secret Patrick Rothfuss is a hero of mine, but I've just been shocked rigid by his latest posting (18th July) and even now I'm hoping it's a spoof, or his blog has been hijacked, because I find it somewhat disturbing that he's actually going to do what he says. Rather than link the...
