KiDisaster Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 What annoyed me way more than the Felurian part on this last re-read was Kvothe's #notallmen moment after he kills the fake Ruh troupe. Also the thing with the tavern waitress right after he comes back from the Fae is way more eye-roll inducing than the actual fairy sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Yeah, book 2 was complete fucking trash. A perfect illustration of why prose isn't everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gah, get a grip man I must have been slowly inoculated over the years. I found the quotes within that summary to be downright direct and...normal. The bit about the impact on our collective consciousness is funny, but the rest seemed to be devoid of the familiar notes of sanctimony, defensiveness and braggadocio. Then again it was on TOR...maybe they avoided some less flattering exchanges. I did not watch the event itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well, the one thing Well ok two things stand out. The blog post he wrote about The Hobbit films were he compares them to seeing a cute girl he had a crush on at a strip club, or what have you. And the AMA he did were he went into details about his female characters cup sizes. 3 minutes ago, Let's Get Kraken said: Should we start calling you Dr. Not Caustic now? Nah, it just would take more googling then I feel up to these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Perhaps, when you're not too happy about people pestering you for your next book, it's not a great idea to point out indirectly that it's been eight years since that book should have been published (according to yourself, anyway). YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 He doesn't keep mum, he publicly makes a point to let everyone know he isn't writing. Because his life is so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like both Rothfuss and his publisher repeatedly said all three books were 100% done and finished long before Book 1 came out ("and look at this excerpt from Book 2 I published as a short story in 2002 to prove it!"), and that he wasn't going to make people wait "like certain other authors HA HA HA HA" and that people could give him their money in total confidence because they weren't going to have to wait five years per book, but only two years in total with the entire trilogy finished by 2009.

Darth Richard II Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Uh, that had zero relevance to my comment. He specificly does NOT DO WORK then brag about it. Don't see how being non linear has shit to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowjack Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Mark Lawrence's ability to deal with his personal issues AND produce well crafted, literary gems at the clip of one a year has led me to the opinion that Rothfuss is a tosser.

Darth Richard II Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Mark already has his entire next trilogy written, too. And he's not lying about it. Edit: Also, what personal problems does Rothfuss have? Being rich and successful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for all the fans that are going to walk into the bookstore and think book 3 is out. All though my feeling bad is balanced out by the number of fans that insist on GR that book 3 will be out any week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
