I have a question about when Kvothe is fighting the encampment of bandits. How was it possible for him to use the dead sentry to kill the other bandits? There was no sympathetic link for Kvothe to link one to the other. If it's saying that just because they were both human bodies, and thus a...

Name of the Wind keeps coming up on my radar as a big recent fantasy debut, and one I should read as part of my exploration of the epic fantasy genre. However ... something that puts me off is a piece I read before slamming his "sex fairy" section. Where the hero, Kothe, outsexes a sex fairy...

Hi Guys Apologies if this has been covered previously and I have missed it, but why doesn't Rothfuss have his own space? I know he has only written two books but I think his stuff is exceptional.

The Eolian harp is a conversational poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (he of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner fame) all about expressing his love for Sara, and the pleasure of conjugal love... Pat's partner is Sarah... I guess he's entitled to (sort of) hide his love in a not so hidden oblique...

For anyone who hasn't discovered these (I followed a link on Patrick's blog) - lovely, chatty 'round tables' with fantastic guest authors. He's hosting one per month; there are three out already on subjects such as characters and urban fantasy. You can find them on You Tube (look for The...

The Name of the Wind seems to have gone down pretty well by all accounts, not least this thread: Patrick Rothfuss-The Name Of The Wind-Book one of The King Killer Chronicles However, reviews of The Wise Man's Fear seem to suggest that potential early promise has fallen into turning Kvothe into...

Some of you may remember me winning an auction to have Patrick Rothfuss critique my whole novel, and how incredible it was, but in case you forgot, here it is: http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/526818-patrick-rothfuss-critiqued-my-novel.html It was all for Worldbuilder's Charity (and...

Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, Kvothe the Kingkiller. He is a legend but the real man is an enigma. A man named Chronicler is trying to find out the truth behind the legend by convincing Kvothe to tell him his life story, a task so long it will take three days to complete. On the...

So I just wanted to see what everyone is thinking about the new Rothfuss as I haven't really seen much in the way of speculation and theory mongering about this series... So a few disjointed thoughts to start us off, I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks. (I'm proceeding on the...

I just received my copy of Wise Man's Fear. Is anyone else here reading this? I thought The Name of the Wind was fantastic.

I found this book by chance at the my high school library and fell completely in love with it. This author is amazing!!!! I have reread this book more than any other book and every time the parts that I laughed at the first time I still laugh at and everything that ticked me off about the...

Hi everyone, Does anybody know when Patrick Rothfuss's next book is coming out?? I remember I saw the release date on amazon sometime ago, but I searched for it again I couldn't find it....

The Name of the Wind (Volume One of The Kingkiller Chronicle - terrible series name btw) is a book that has arrived with a ton of publicity that preceded its US publication a month ago. Reviews were all but glowing and the editor went into overdrive about how glorious it was. To this extent...
