The Kingkiller Chronicle

> Patrick Rothfuss

I would very much like to know the opinions of others concerning The Kingkiller Chronicle and, in particular, the first novel in the series, The Name of The Wind.

I will be beginning chapter sixty-seven, A Matter of Hands, tonight.

At this point in the book, my only significant gripe is that I am just dying to finally come upon a stretch of at least the majority of a couple chapters' worth of action.

The pages keep turning, yet the most intense action so far revealed has been Kvothe's daring rescue of Fela from the fiery bone-tar in the Fishery - and this just last chapter at that.

That was a good chapter, but I want MORE! More fighting(any at all would do), eluding, arcanery, simple thieving or even more focused encounter between Kvothe and Ambrose. I'm aching for such conflict!

I push this ache aside when distracted by it by my baseless assumption that things will surely pick up.

I just hope it does soon, because, from my perspective at page 453, it is past due.

None-the-less, I am enjoying the book despite this failure to so far appease my partiality to more frequent physical/magical conflict.

But, it would be nice to know if I should continue to anticipate some volume of action focused reading futher along, or not.

Look forward to hearing others' takes on this specific topic, as well as on the whole book and series.

It's shit

Name of the Wind is solid fantasy, book 2 is where it really starts to unravel though

>Takes twice as long to tell half as much story as The Hobbit
>solid fantasy

you write like that's the most complex book you've ever read

It's easily the worst novel I've ever read.

If action is what you're after, book two has it in spades. There's a long stretch which is basically a D&D adventure. I kind of wish Rothfuss had expanded just a little bit on some of the stuff he glossed over (even in a novella or something) but it definitely starts to pick the story up much better.

These faggots
Sound like they're expecting next-level literature. You seem to be enjoying it, it gets better, but it's still just mindless enjoyable fantasy.

t. reads for the fantasy grils

I read the books and liked them but they're not good imo

Exactly. Any popular fiction is like that. Enjoyable, but it isn't groundbreaking.

What if it is?

You have no point. I don't care about your opinion unless it's related to my OP.
