Started re-reading because of your review Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 30/07/2012 08:22:54 PM
The entire first half of the book is pure fluff! Looking at it now, it doesn't seem to make any sense. No big plot developments at all. Kvothe just plots to steal back Denna's ring from Ambrose. That's it. 300+ pages of this. And then he skips over his legendary trial (for reasons to be revealed probably) and his voyage to Vintas (fluff, but probably more entertaining than the first half).

I don't get it...

I am becoming skeptical about Patrick Rothfuss (spoilers for about half of Wise Man's Fool) Cannoli - 26/07/2012 12:24:39 AM 2729 Views

I can't defend the book, all the issues you raise are correct. Tigr - 26/07/2012 02:42:54 PM 1178 Views
Every thing you say about the overly troped story is true, Stephen - 26/07/2012 03:06:45 PM 1207 Views

So... you haven't read the second half of the book yet, right? (no spoilers) beetnemesis - 28/07/2012 11:30:29 PM 1161 Views
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the second half. (minor spoilers) badassashaman - 29/07/2012 04:56:53 AM 1220 Views

Even if that were true he could still have cut the beginning by 3/4 Dark Knight - 31/07/2012 03:09:40 AM 1289 Views
I dunno, go read some Hemingway then? Nate - 31/07/2012 04:06:59 AM 1163 Views
I don't see the problem. Onarishma - 02/08/2012 09:42:15 PM 1137 Views
