His charities, however? He's broken trust on that and it's a pretty dark promise to break, in my opinion. In no way shape or form would I ever be willing to participate in that. If he released this book only as a charity thing, I'd never read it. Somewhat odd that I'd rather pay him and his publisher than a charity but that's the reality. I allow some flexibility for the author writing books ... but not for a misbehaving charity, even if it's functionally the same person.

100%.

A charitable take would be that it's an attempt by someone stuck in a series of vicious cycles to try to start a virtuous one.  

Exactly what I was going to say, but better articulated than I would have managed.

Sure, I'll read another novella. I loved Slow Regard. 

I really could not get into it, not my cup of tea. I read the free sample.

I bought Slow Regard and found it too slow, regardless of the interesting premise about quiet things. Never finished it either.

Did you stay silent about it?

Quiet as Rothfuss' muse.

So it was quiet in three parts?

I wish i read it earlier before purchasing the Slow Regard. 

Too slow, in what regards exactly?

So it’s okay to diss Rothfuss but not Martin and Lynch for taking the same amount of time in not releasing their next book, and in the case of Martin: releasing plenty of side content as well, one of which was actually a condensed version of a book he had already published ?  I’ll read Pats latest Novella cause I enjoy his work, but you guys seriously need to stop taunting the guy, especially since he was going through mental health issues.

Looks like we will need a new thread! I'll create one.
