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.
