TricksyTails We made it!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 7y

ScientistSam Yes!!! So...seems like there's a LOT of ground to cover in the next book/third day! 7y

MinDea @ScientistSam Yes!!! So many more questions were created for me this book and nothing really answered!!! 7y

See All 93 Comments

TricksyTails Thank you everyone for joining us on this epic adventure with Kvothe. All your encouragement was so appreciated! I really love Rothfuss‘ world building and can‘t wait to discover new places. I love Haert and the Adem. 7y

TricksyTails While in Haert, they discussed the importance of keeping names secret. I wondered why Kvothe would ever tell anyone his name then. Why not make up a name? But Elodin‘s comments to Kvothe when he mentioned Denna‘s constant name changing, made me wonder if there was some kind of detriment to changing your name. So curious! 7y

MinDea What was everyone's favorites and least favorite parts this book? 7y

TricksyTails I love Vashet! And Auri! And Bast! And Elodin! Who are your favorites? 7y

AmyG BAST WTF? I had to go on fandom pages to understand the ending. (edited) 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea Favorite parts were any part with Vashet. 😂 And Penthe. The way Elodin started really teaching Kvothe at the end. Bast at the end. Auri, of course. Bredon. When Kvothe knifes the century and calls down lightning. Fake Edema Ruh. Least favorite: Felurian, Meluan. 7y

MinDea So much still needs to happen. He needs to steal a princess, kill a king and be betrayed! So much needs to happen in the third book. Does anyone speculate who the princess he steals or the king he has to kill? I think Ambrose will be that king! Could Denna be that princess? Also who do you think the one of the Amyr is near the Maer that the Cthaeh mentioned? Could it be his manservant? 7y

MinDea @TricksyTails I feel like Meluan is someone in Kvothe's story. He recognized her. He has to know her somehow. But how? I feel like she will show up again 7y

MinDea @AmyG hahaha. I know right?!? Bast! I get why he did it, but WHYYYYYYY! I feel like since Kvothe got the 💩 kicked out of him it did the EXACT opposite thing he wanted to happen. So now what?!? Seems he could have gone about this a different way! Does anyone wonder WHY Bast is so adamant about Kvothe coming back to who he was? What is he hoping will happen or needs to happen?! 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea Definitely feel this is just the beginning with Meluan. So judge-y! Reminded me a bit of Catelyn Stark. Off with her head too! 😈🗡 7y

BarbaraJean @MinDea Favorite parts were Haert, and the crazy epic stabbing scene! I also really enjoyed the intrigue/plot surrounding the Maer, and that whole culture of giving rings, etc. The whole journey with the mercenaries kind of dragged on for me. I also still don‘t really like Denna—so much prefer Devi!! 7y

TricksyTails Yup. I think Ambrose should be the king who dies #TeamKillAmbrose but then Kvothe referred to Sim as a prince and I wondered if that was foreshadowing 🤔 Gosh, that would be awful. 💔 7y

Andrew65 @AmyG We need the third book to understand this ending, listened to that bit three times thinking I was missing something! Very puzzling @MinDea (edited) 7y

BarbaraJean @AmyG @MinDea —BAST!!!! Holy crap, I read that section 3 times because I felt like I MUST be missing something! I am so curious as to Bast‘s agenda with Kvothe, because of that cray cray ending, and also now because of the whole Cthaeh thing. (edited) 7y

ScientistSam @MinDea @TricksyTails yes, I definitely hope Ambrose is the killed king. It would break my heart if it were Sim. 7y

Andrew65 @ScientistSam @MinDea @TricksyTails If it turned out to be Sim that would be a major shock. 7y

Andrew65 @BarbaraJean Ditto 😂 7y

Andrew65 I think there is much more to come from the story with Meluan! 7y

ScientistSam @MinDea @BarbaraJean @AmyG @Andrew65 @TricksyTails I feel like there is so much that is wrong in the "current" world when we're in the inn that the world needs a hero to fix it, and Bast is hoping that it's Kvothe's will that's broken but not his talent. I think he's trying so hard to force Kvothe to awaken, but the verdict is still out as to whether he will or whether he's just completely given up. I'm a little worried... 7y

MinDea @ScientistSam it never occurred to me it could be Sim! Holy 💩 what if it is?!? Oh my gosh! 🤯 I couldn't handle it if it was. @Andrew65 7y

ScientistSam @Andrew65 I agree! It feels like a throwaway line otherwise 7y

ScientistSam @andrew65 I mean with Meluan 7y

ScientistSam @TricksyTails mentioned that Sim was referred to as a prince, which I totally missed. @MinDea @Andrew65 7y

BarbaraJean @ScientistSam @MinDea @TricksyTails I love the idea of Ambrose being the king he kills! And I feel like it‘s plausible—isn‘t he always boasting about being just a few steps away from the throne? And now Kvothe has all these connections in Vintas! Ambrose becoming the king of Vint and then being killed by Kvothe would be very fulfilling. In purely a narrative sense, of course. 😈 7y

MinDea @Andrew65 @ScientistSam @BarbaraJean @AmyG haha. Yes! I read the ending twice cause at first I was confused and then mad at Bast! I felt like it was a bit of a cliff hanger. Leaving us with a glimpse of Bast's evil side again but not explaining what his true intentions are. I worry they are more sinister or more selfish than wanting to help Kvothe become who he was. He has an agenda. Maybe you are right @ScientistSam They need a hero 7y

ghosthost Favorite: Everything at the University. Least favorite: The tedious Felurian pages. 7y

ghosthost @ScientistSam I missed that too. 7y

MinDea @BarbaraJean that as my thought thinking it was Ambrose! Aaaahhhhh. It would be soooo good if it was! 7y

Andrew65 @ScientistSam I think I did miss that too. The beauty of Buddy Reads! @TricksyTails @MinDea 7y

MinDea I remember now that he was a prince but never thought he would be the king that gives Kvothe the title of king killer. Ugh! That would be awful! But @TricksyTails you could be on to something. If Rothfuss is like Martin no one is safe! 7y

BookwormAHN Vashet is one of my favorites in this book and I still love Bast even after that 💩 he pulled. 7y

Andrew65 I have to say I was quite disappointed that there was so little Ambrose in this book. Who knew I‘d miss Ambrose. It would definitely be good if he was killed by Kvothe. 7y

BarbaraJean @MinDea I like the idea that Meluan is someone from Kvothe‘s past. I‘m REALLY curious about her, and agree there has to be more to come with her. @Andrew65 @TricksyTails (edited) 7y

Aleida Wow I really need to reread this. I barely understand/remember most of these characters in your posts! 7y

Andrew65 @BarbaraJean It just seemed such a quick turn around with her. 7y

Andrew65 @Aleida It‘s over a week and I already feel I need to read it again too! 😂 7y

BookwormAHN Kvothe killing Sim would be terrible. I'm still on #TeamKillAmbrose and I hope Rothfuss does not go into Martin territory. 7y

AmyG Kvothe‘s mom was from noble roots. Does Meluan remind him of his Mom? Are they related??? SIM? WHAT? (edited) 7y

TricksyTails @ScientistSam Agree 100% on your opinion for Bast‘s motive. Kvothe‘s spirit is beaten and I think Bast is trying to light that fire again. However misguided, I think he‘s trying from the goodness of his heart. 😂 @MinDea @AmyG @Andrew65 @BarbaraJean 7y

Aleida @Andrew65 they were great books so I don‘t mind. 7y

TricksyTails @Aleida 😂 The only reason I can remember any of this is because I only finished it a mere 5 hours ago. Ask me tomorrow and I won‘t remember anyone‘s names! 7y

Andrew65 In this book (for most of it) I missed Denna, Devi, Auri and the University. There were parts of the book that dragged a bit and not much seemed to happen. The whole Maer and Felurian section, and whilst I loved Vashet I even felt that section was a bit on the long side. Patrick certainly seems to like the slow and steady build up. I felt more events happened in the first book. (edited) 7y

BarbaraJean @Andrew65 Exactly! I want to know why she had such a strong reaction to Kvothe being Edema Ruh—there has to be something in her past that hasn‘t been revealed yet. There‘s a lot of prejudice toward the Ruh in general, but I feel like there was more going on with her. And the whole thing with the wooden box? I need to know more!! 7y

AmyG I agree....that Bast was trying to “jump start” Kvothe. But I still feel something‘s not right there. 7y

Andrew65 @Aleida I definitely agree. 7y

Andrew65 @AmyG Me too, There feels part of a hidden agenda that we are not aware of yet. I was starting to doubt him significant,y towards the end. 7y

BarbaraJean @AmyG I had forgotten that Kvothe‘s mother had noble roots! I love the idea that there might be a connection to Meluan there. 7y

ScientistSam @BarbaraJean do you think Meluan's box is the trunk that Kote the Innkeeper has? 7y

BarbaraJean @MinDea I love the idea that the Maer‘s manservant might be one of the Amyr. I had forgotten that the Cthaeh said there was an Amyr near the Maer. It would make sense for it to be Stapes... thinking back, I feel like there is more to Stapes than we‘ve been told. And more to the Maer as well!! 7y

ghosthost @AmyG I wondered the same thing about Meluan. @Andrew65 I was surprised how much I missed Denna. I think she‘s growing on me. 7y

BarbaraJean @ScientistSam That‘s such an interesting connection—I didn‘t think about the truck and the box being similar, but they really are! I don‘t think they are the same, because the box was much smaller, wasn‘t it? But maybe the trunk is a similar type of artifact? 7y

Andrew65 @ghosthost Whilst we don‘t necessarily like Denna she does add an extra layer and more interest in the book. Kvothe also changes around her. 7y

Andrew65 @BarbaraJean @ScientistSam Good thinking! 7y

ghosthost @BarbaraJean @ScientistSam I was under the impression that the trunk was something Kvothe built, but perhaps he drew inspiration for it from Meluan‘s box. 7y

MinDea @AmyG I was wondering if Meluan was Kvothe's aunt!!!! 7y

MinDea @ScientistSam I figured that is where Kvothe got hi idea for a box with no hinges (Meluan's box). Meluan isn't a princess right, so she isn't the stollen princess, right? However could Meluan's item be INSIDE Kvothe's trunk? 7y

BookwormAHN @MinDea @AmyG I was wondering that too. 7y

MinDea What sword is hanging on his inn's wall? They commented that it is not similar to the sword from Haert, so what sword is one the wall? 7y

Andrew65 @MinDea I got The impression we are yet to come across that sword. 7y

TK421 I'm late to the party again. @TricksyTails I had never thought about Sim being the King who dies! I sure hope not! 7y

AmyG @MinDea If Meluan is Kvothe‘s aunt...she hates the Edema Ruh because her sister ran away to be with them? Wait until she finds out who Kvothe is. 😜 7y

TK421 @MinDea @Andrew65 I don't think we've encountered the sword yet either. 7y

Andrew65 @AmyG Can she hate him any more? 😂 7y

AmyG @Andrew65 Ha right? 7y

MinDea @Andrew65 @AmyG yeah pretty sure that isn't going to make her like him more! 😆 7y

tonyahoswalt @AmyG @mindea oh, that's an intriguing idea about Meluan being his aunt, and her sister running off... 7y

tonyahoswalt I'm late again! I was trying to finish up. I still have around 60 pages to go, and though it's a reread, I'm not sure I remember what happens in those pages. // I am not too fond of Alveron, or the way he treats Kvothe, takes such convincing to believe him, etc. // I love Bast so much. I know he does something at the end, based off your comments, but I don't remember what. I'm off to finish! 7y

MinDea No worries @tonyahoswalt ! Join when you are done and start the discussion back up! 7y

MinDea @laundry_piles did you finish the book? How did you like it?! 7y

CareBear @AmyG @MinDea I love the idea of meluan‘s sister who ran off being Kvothe‘s mother!! 7y

CareBear I just love Rothfuss‘ writing so of course I enjoyed this one, but not quite as much as the first. Parts of it dragged for me in ways I didn‘t feel during the first one. But it‘s the second in the trilogy ... so it‘s the middle. And that‘s usually the weakest, in my opinion. 7y

laundry_piles @MinDea I did! I finished it a few weeks ago. Love some of the points people being up here, very interesting. I thought it was ok. It dragged WAAAAYYY to long for me and was miffed what it took 92 chapters to get interesting. The ending was a good twist though, I'll give him that 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea @BarbaraJean @Andrew65 @ScientistSam @BookwormAHN @AmyG @TK421 I am all about #TeamKillAmbrose and I hope that Rothfuss isn‘t as cruel as GRRM! I just had an author kill of a favorite character so let‘s just hope it‘s my imagination! I adore Sim! 7y

TricksyTails @laundry_piles 😂😂😂 Chapter 92 was epic though! 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea That thought crossed my mind too about Meluan possibly being his aunt! That would make things very interesting! @AmyG @CareBear @tonyahoswalt @Andrew65 @BookwormAHN @ghosthost 7y

TricksyTails @Andrew65 @ghosthost I missed Ambrose and Denna too! And, of course, the rest of the University gang. I like Denna and I love to hate Ambrose. 7y

tonyahoswalt The only part of the book I didn't love was Felurian. Other than that, it didn't drag for me. I so enjoy his writing. I can't wait for book 3! 7y

MinDea Oh @TK421 I just saw you showed up! I missed that! It would be awful if it was Sim that Kvothe kills. Ugh but now I am worried. I can't with to learn about the sword that is hanging in his inn! 7y

MinDea @tonyahoswalt I felt like all the sections just went a tad too long and it all just added up and felt a bit long winded. I enjoyed the book and I think my so-so review was a tad harsh. Cause the more I think about it the more I feel like a lot did happen in this book. it was all in the details. It wasn't necessarily big huge action packed things but small significant things did happen. I love this story! @ 7y

MinDea Does Rothfuss have any other books? 7y

tonyahoswalt @mindea I think he wrote a children's book 7y

tonyahoswalt @MinDea https://www.fantasticfiction.com/r/patrick-rothfuss/ Well, it says it's not a children's book, but it also says the genre is children's fiction. I think that's part of the ploy to get kids to read it. 7y

BethM @AmyG maybe I'll have to find these fandom pages - I didn't get it either. @TricksyTails there has to be a detriment to changing your name. I don't think Kvothe has told anyone his true and secret name. I loved Bast and Elodin. I'd like to kick current day Kvothe's ass for being a Whiney little biotch lol. 7y

MinDea @BethM what true and secret name are you referring to? The one he got in Haert? Or the one he was born with? 7y

BethM @MinDea both. I‘m kind of wondering if they end up being the same/similar? 7y

MinDea Huh 🤷 I thought his name at birth was Kvothe. The name given in Ademre was Maedre. Do you think he has a different name? Or do you mean the meaning of these two names are the same just in different languages? 7y

MinDea @BethM 7y

BethM @MinDea I'm pretty sure his mother whispered his true name in his ear at birth and told him not to tell anyone- unless I hallucinated that part. 7y

MinDea @BethM you may be right but I totally don't remember that! 🤷 Looks like a reread needs to happen. 😏😆😆😆 7y

BethM @MinDea never read or watched GoT. 7y

TricksyTails CHAPTER 91! CHAPTER 91! CHAPTER 91! 🔪🔪🔪⚡️⚡️⚡️ 7y

TricksyTails So brutal and good! How‘d Kvothe get so powerful? 7y

TricksyTails I ♥️ Vashet!! 😍😍😍😍 7y

See All 217 Comments

Andrew65 @TricksyTails It was certainly a big surprise what happened in Chapter 91, where did that come from and how did he learn to do that! 7y

Andrew65 I didn‘t think I‘d ever say it but I am missing his confrontations with Ambrose. #TeamKillAmbrose 7y

ScientistSam @TricksyTails I know, even he can barely explain it! 7y

BethM @TricksyTails loved it! @Andrew65 me too! Im really missing university and his friends. I have to say the amount of sex and the way it is written about seems a tad self indulgent. 7y

ScientistSam @Andrew65 it's good to have such a villanous villain, and the confeontations showcase Kvothe's cleverness (and youth). And Ambrose is a somewhat less epic and less creepy villain than the Chandrian 7y

TK421 That was a big surprise when he used the dead sentry to kill the other soldiers. It makes you wonder how much he is holding back. 7y

MinDea @TricksyTails @Andrew65 @ScientistSam it was such a great scene!!! But yeah, HOW THE HECK?!? How did he do that? 7y

MinDea @TK421 Yes! He definitely has to be, right? Something with fear makes him be able to be more powerful. Call down lightening or something. 7y

MinDea @BethM yes I agree. The tone has changed a bit in this book. 7y

Andrew65 @BethM I would agree I am missing university life and his friends too. It seemed to take a long while for the book to really get going in this one. 7y

TK421 I did love that he was about to say "I don't believe in fairies" right before they saw Felurian. 7y

Andrew65 @MinDea @BethM I would agree a very different tone. 7y

Andrew65 @ScientistSam It was good to learn a little bit more about the Chandrian. 7y

Andrew65 @TK421 😂😂😂 Might want to rethink that! 7y

MinDea Yes! @Andrew65 I might have the unpopular opinion here but I have been a tad bored these last few weeks with Kvothe's story. I hope it is all leading somewhere, that his time in Haert will make sense at the end of this book. Right now I am not sure where this is all going. But it has to be for a reason, right?! 7y

MinDea @BethM @Andrew65 @TricksyTails and I were talking about that yesterday. Missing all the people from the school and his friends. Definitely miss them. 7y

ScientistSam Really detailed question - do you think the notes of music he sings to break free of Felurian's hold are Felurian's true name? 7y

Andrew65 @MinDea I would have to agree with you until we hit those chapters in the 90s it was dragging a bit. Shock! Horror! I too wonder where this is all going. At the moment we just seem to be getting Information in the main. Obviously heading towards something in the third book because not a lot of this book left. (edited) 7y

MinDea Wow. That is an interesting question @SceintistSam! I wondered if he was starting to learn names when he was with her. So possibly! His sleeping mind was waking up/awakened! @TricksyTails @Andrew65 @TK421 @BethM 7y

CareBear @MinDea I agree being a tad bit bored with this section. Of course I love the story but I felt like the parts with Felurian dragged on. But the part with the cteuha 😮 (I know I probably misspelled that but I don‘t have the book with me to look it up!) 7y

Andrew65 @ScientistSam That is a very interesting question. You could well be right. 7y

Andrew65 @CareBear Yes the bits with Felurian did seem to go on too long. 7y

MinDea @CareBear yes, I totally agree. The Felurian section went too long. We get it. They had a lot of sex! 😂😂😂 But yes the Oracle scene very interesting! But Felurian did say he wasn't trustworthy so wonder what he was up to! 7y

TK421 @ScientistSam I've wondered about that as well! I also thought it was interesting how Felurian reacted to the very mention of the Chandrian in her realm. 7y

CareBear I‘m thinking there‘s no way the Chandrian question gets resolved in this trilogy. (edited) 7y

MinDea ???? @CareBear I think you're right! Supposedly these 3 books are a prequel to the "real" story so possibly even the next book won't either! ? 7y

TricksyTails @Andrew65 @ScientistSam @BethM I am missing University a lot too! And oddly, I‘m with you @Andrew65 ,...I miss the bastard Ambrose! 7y

CareBear @MinDea I thought what was even more interesting was Bast‘s reaction to it. I hope that comes up again! 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 @MinDea YES!! It makes me think “Ooh, what else ya got Kvothe? Show me already!” 7y

MinDea @TricksyTails Yes! Let's see what else he can do already!!! 7y

MinDea Bast did have a very interesting reaction. I don't know if that will be answered in this book either (what Bast really is) @CareBear 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea @ScientistSam Such a great question! I was wondering that too! When his powers were awakening while he was with Felurian I was anticipating something really epic to happen in the next few chapters but...well... 😴 ....that Vashet is really awesome though! 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear I was bored with Felurian‘s bits too. 🤣 7y

TK421 @MinDea there is a nice Bast short story in the Rogues compilation. I love his character! 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear @MinDea Oh yeah! Bast‘s reaction was the most fascinating part! 7y

CareBear @TK421 I may need to go find this lol. I love Bast too. 7y

CareBear @TricksyTails I agree with you about Vashet! I like this new girl too, Caelen? I hope they both stick around. (edited) 7y

Andrew65 @TK421 I also picked up on that, a very strange way in which she reacted when the Chandrian was mentioned. I wonder what all that was about. I agree with @CareBear don‘t think that will be resolved until the next book. (edited) 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear She‘s a great character too! I loved how she played in the dancing leaves. I love most of the Adem characters. Tempi, Vashet, and Shehyn too! Fascinated with the culture. 7y

CareBear @TricksyTails me too! So different from what we‘ve been reading...like a whole new world. 7y

Andrew65 @TricksyTails I agree it is a fascinating section with some great Adem characters, but do feel the book has got itself trapped in another big loop, just like the Felurian section. I wonder how this will be brought to an end and the story moved forward again. (edited) 7y

ghosthost @MinDea My eyes glazed over for the hundred or so pages with Felurian. 7y

CareBear @Andrew65 it does feel like we lost the forest through the trees. 7y

Andrew65 @CareBear @Tricksytails I feel like the Adem section and the Felurian section are just there to provide us and Bast with more information about the world that has been created by Patrick. 7y

Andrew65 @ghosthost Definitely not alone in this! 7y

Andrew65 @CareBear I agree with you there. 7y

TricksyTails @ghosthost @MinDea @Andrew65 Same! 😴 7y

TricksyTails @Andrew65 The story has branched into several tangents that I hope will make sense to us in THIS BOOK! I don‘t want to wait until the third to find out. 7y

ghosthost @CareBear Celean‘s wise beyond her years. And I really want to learn the secret Ketan women are keeping from the men in Imre. 7y

Andrew65 @TricksyTails Unfortunately I don‘t think that is going to be the case for much of it. 7y

ghosthost @TricksyTails Me too. In. This. Book. The one that has already been written. And where‘s Bast? He‘s been absent way too long. 7y

TK421 @TricksyTails somewhere Patrick Rothfuss laughs maniacally at our frustration. 7y

Andrew65 @TK421 @TricksyTails Most probably laughing loud and long! 7y

CareBear @ghosthost @TricksyTails @Andrew65 didn‘t someone mention a theory that Bast was Kvothe‘s son? Maybe all that sex tangent with Felurian = Bast? 7y

TK421 @CareBear that is a popular theory. 7y

BookwormAHN With so many story lines seeming abandoned this book is starting to feel to short for the amount of pages left 😼 7y

Andrew65 @CareBear That could definitely be the case. 7y

Andrew65 @BookwormAHN I would definitely agree! 7y

ScientistSam @TK421 @CareBear @ghosthost @tricksytails @andrew65 how interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I really want more Bast backstory!! 7y

ScientistSam @BookwormAHN @Andrew65 agreed on the "seeming" - I think Rothfuss has an excellent command of all these little details and they are going to come back either in this or the next book. He's a really good craftsman in that sense. 7y

Andrew65 @ScientistSam He can definitely see big, whilst also not forget the small detail. He should be congratulated on that. @BookwormAHN 7y

MinDea Oh before I forget big Happy Birthday to @BarbaraJean !!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂 7y

BookwormAHN @ScientistSam @Andrew65 Rothfuss is really good, especially on details. I wonder how much longer before the next book. And also Kvothe is still a teenager so I wonder how he'll handle merging Kvothe with Kothe. 7y

MinDea I hope all of this makes sense. Felurian, Adem, Ambrose, Chandrian, Denna, just everything. Just hope it all comes together. 7y

MinDea @BookwormAHN yes I was wondering that. Like how old is Kote? Not thaaaaat old. So when does he start to hide out? I mean, does he ever go back to Felurian? Will he go back at the end of his story because he knows he won't be able to leave? 7y

BookwormAHN @MinDea I wonder if that will be like the epilogue. Kote tells his tale and when it's finished he journeys back to Felurian. 7y

Andrew65 @BookwormAHN How would that be for an ending! @MinDea (edited) 7y

MinDea It might be! But that won't be at the end of the next book since Rothfuss plans to extend Kvothe's story after The Chronicler. I just feel like the Chandrian won't be figured out next book! 7y

MinDea I also wonder about Denna. Wasn't there something about this being/having a love story in the first book? Or am I totally remembering this wrong? Is Denna that person or someone else? All the money he makes as Kote does he have to send to the Adem schools? Or does he someone get away from them? 7y

ScientistSam @MinDea @BookwormAHN @Andrew65 I feel like there's a lot Kote/Kvothe has to do to right things that he's made to go wrong. Books after the trilogy make so much sense! Has Rothfuss said he's planning to write more? 7y

BookwormAHN @MinDea @Andrew65 I think we have a while before the Chandrian. 7y

ScientistSam @MinDea you're right, I think Denna will come back. Kvothe indicated he did something terrible for love. It's a parallel story to the epic we are learning about gradually with how the Chandrian were created, I think. 7y

BookwormAHN @ScientistSam He has joked that it is a very long prequel. 7y

TricksyTails @ScientistSam https://www.tor.com/2018/03/07/patrick-rothfuss-kingkiller-chronicle-prologue-th... 7y

Andrew65 @BookwormAHN @ScientistSam This being a very long prequel wouldn‘t surprise me, especially as he is only 16 in these books. A lot of story to tell yet! (edited) 7y

Andrew65 I‘m not sure I like Denna but she does add interest to the story, and look forward to her return. 7y

ScientistSam @TricksyTails thanks! 7y

MinDea @Andrew65 yeah I go back and forth on Denna. Mostly decided I don't like her...buuuuuut sometimes I do. 😂😂😂 7y

MinDea I think he was being serious @BookwormAHN These 3 books are prequels to Kvothe's "real story". At least that was what I read in an article a few weeks ago. I think it makes a lot of sense because there seems to be a lot more for him to do in his life than for it to end after he tell so his teen years to The Chronicler. 7y

Andrew65 @MinDea I‘d agree that makes perfect sense, and agrees with my thoughts. 7y

MinDea Do you guys think Will leave Haert this book? Go back to school or the Mayor (is that his name?!? Been so long!) And get his reward for "catching" the bansits? 7y

BookwormAHN @MinDea I don't think the mayor is going to be to happy about his side trip to Haert. 7y

MinDea Yes I think he will have some reason to not be happy with Kvothe. 7y

MinDea @AmyG are you still reading with us? 7y

CareBear @MinDea @Andrew65 @BookwormAHN it also seems like there‘s more to go forward from the inn. Things are bad in those scenes and I can‘t imagine they will go unresolved going forward. Do we even know how old Kvothe is now? Maybe he‘s not that much older, and the third book will get us to the present and the other series will be future? Just thoughts. I don‘t think he‘s going to make it back to university in this book! 7y

Andrew65 I think he will make it back to the Maer in this book, but not sure we will make it back to the University, I think that will form the third book (come on Patrick, we need you!!!). I think the three books will not moved much further than a year or two and will have more of his later life story in the next set of books. @MinDea @CareBear @BookwormAHN @Trickaytails 7y

Andrew65 It was quite an explosive scene with Bast in the last interlude (think it was the last one), I am still trying to get my head round that one, the what and the why of it, and want to read that again before moving on with the story. What did others make of that? @MinDea @TricksyTails @ScientistSam @CareBear @BookwormAHN @TK421 @ghosthost @BethM 7y

MinDea @CareBear @andrew65 yes that is what I read him saying. These 3 books lead up to where Kote is now as prologues to the real story. Then more books will come out that will take place post life story telling to the Chronicler! I hope he at least makes it back to the maer at the end of this book if not on his way back to the university. 7y

MinDea Yes!!! Rothfuss we need you!!!! 7y

MinDea I wish he was a #LitsyAuthor! 7y

CareBear @MinDea ooo me too! I love his goodreads reviews! 7y

ScientistSam @Andrew65 the interlude where Bast finds out Kvote talked to the evil oracle (I can't find the proper spelling - Cthaet?)? 7y

MinDea The Cthaeh @ScientistSam
7y

Andrew65 @ScientistSam Yes, That interlude where Bast seemed to react quite violently to Kvothe having spoken to The Cthaeh. Thanks for the spelling @MinDea as had to rely on the audiobook when the library book was recalled. (edited) 7y

MinDea @Andrew65 yes I was sort of shocked at his response. It seemed odd. Rereading it makes sense. Chapter 105. 7y

Andrew65 @MinDea Thanks for the chapter number as I want to listen to that chapter again. 7y

MinDea "That means anyone influenced by the Cthaeh would be like an arrow shot into the future"... So Kvothe knows a little of the future...so is this foreshadowing or an explanation of how he got where he is? 7y

MinDea "Anyone influenced by the Cthaeh is like a plague ship sailing for a harbor" 7y

MinDea The Fastingsway War was interesting to hear about in that chapter. A lot happens/is said in this chapter 7y

BookwormAHN The chapter with the Cthaeh was quite fascinating. It was weird to see Bast go that nuts about it. I don't think Kvothe knew what he had really gotten into. 7y

ScientistSam @MinDea thanks! 7y

ScientistSam @MinDea @Andrew65 @BookwormAHN I wonder if there will be a way to escape the evil repercussions... 7y

BookwormAHN @ScientistSam Or maybe he is hiding out as Kote to escape the repercussions. 7y

MinDea I don't know!!! So many questions! Not enough pages in this book to answer them all!!! 7y

MinDea @TK421 you are always in the know. What happens next?! 😀😆😆 7y

MinDea After learning how much they are expected to send to he adem schools I wondered how he gets out of doing that. Is he hiding from that? From Felurian? From Denna? From the university? Ambrose? Devi? 7y

MinDea So many people he could be hiding from! 7y

TK421 Everything and nothing. It depends on your point of view. Was that vague enough for ya?😈 7y

MinDea @TK421 Yes and No! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 7y

TK421 Ha!😁 7y

Andrew65 @TK421 You could be a politician Sir! 😊 @MinDea (edited) 7y

MinDea @TK421 is the Bast story worth getting the book to read it? 7y

Andrew65 @mindea Thanks for those quotes, I do need to listen to that Chapter again, as you say so much in there. I also want to listen to the scene with The Cthaeh again, so much information in there too. Those poor butterflies!!! 🦋 😱😢😭 7y

MinDea Does it tell you more about him or is it a different story? 7y

MinDea Oh man, yes, poor butterflies. That just shows his cruelty. I couldn't tell. Is the Cthaeh a person/Fae or is he a tree? 7y

TK421 It is a decent book. There are more than a few good short stories in it. Rothfuss' story gives you a day in the life of Bast. 7y

MinDea Ok. Might have to check it out! @TK421 what is the book called? 7y

TK421 The book is called

Rogues

TK421 The Ctheah is a fae tree oracle...if that makes any sense.😄 7y

Andrew65 @TK421 oh of course a fae tree oracle, what else! 😂😂😂😂 @Mindea 7y

MinDea 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @Andrew65 @TK421 Why wasn't that obvious! 7y

MinDea Ok. Thanks @TK421 Just marked it as To Read! 7y

Andrew65 @TK421 Me too! Thanks 😊 @MinDea (edited) 7y

TK421 Thanks @MinDea & @TricksyTails ! 7y

MinDea Thank you @TK421! 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea Personally I think Rogues is one to borrow from the library. There are some really great stories but the overall collection is just okay. Buuuuuuuut....since you don‘t do library books then I‘d just get it. 😆 7y

MinDea Hahahahah @TricksyTails maybe I can get it on Kindle? 7y

TricksyTails @Andrew65 He would make an excellent politician! I‘ve learned not to ask @TK421 any questions about future Kvothe! 🤣 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea Heck let me borrow the ebook from the library and I‘ll screenshot the story to you! 🤣 7y

MinDea @TricksyTails 🤣🤣🤣🤣 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea @CareBear Someone go on GoodReads and tell him to get over here!! 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea Wow I must‘ve really been glazing over during the Felurian chapters because these Chandrian and Cthaeh references are going right over my head. 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea @Andrew65 @ScientistSam I think I‘m in the minority here but I like Denna. Not necessarily for Kvothe although I do like their chemistry. She hasn‘t had an easy life and she‘s a survivor. 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea @CareBear I want more Chandrian NOW! We were so close! Cinder was right there! Right there! 7y

Andrew65 @TricksyTails I think Denna has grown more on me in this book, and I too like their chemistry together. 7y

TricksyTails Where‘s @laundry_piles ?? Chapter 91 was the only part of the book I knew she‘d love! 🔪🔪🔪🔪 7y

CareBear @TricksyTails @MinDea lol maybe if I get enough courage, I‘ll leave a comment on his Facebook page! 7y

MinDea I think that is where I struggle. I like Denna but not with Kvothe. @TricksyTails 😂😂😂 you may have to re read a few chapters! 7y

Andrew65 @TricksyTails Couldn‘t have been closer! 7y

TricksyTails @Andrew65 Yay! That “will they or won‘t they” tension makes it interesting. 7y

MinDea I'll write him a letter. I am sure he personally responds to letters from fans 🤣🤣🤣 @TricksyTails @CareBear 7y

CareBear @MinDea @TricksyTails @Andrew65 I like Denna too! And I agree about the Chandrian...man, Patrick really knows how to tease his readers!! 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea Noooooo don‘t make me go back there! I don‘t want to go back to the fae. I‘ll just reread your quotes! 7y

CareBear Lmao! @MinDea @TricksyTails 7y

TricksyTails @MinDea I‘m holding you to this. A simple comment or personal message to him on GoodReads will also suffice. Chop chop. Only two weeks left. 🤣🤣🤣 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear YES! I believe in you! You can do it!!! We need Rothfuss!!! 7y

CareBear @TricksyTails you can just read the part with the Oracle lol...Felurian‘s not even in it! 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear Awww I‘m digging the Denna love! I think she‘s misunderstood. I so wish the Chandrian would show up by the end of the book. Only @TK421 knows and I don‘t think he‘s spilling. 😏 7y

Kamisha Oh gosh, 148 comments! I‘m so behind! 😱 well, I‘ll just say...I‘m loving this second book even more than the first I think! I really like the addition of the Adem and how in-depth Rothfuss went with creating their culture! 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear Is that the part with the Chandrian too? Hahahahaha wow I must‘ve really zoned out!! 7y

TricksyTails @Kamisha I adore the Adem culture! One of my favorite parts of this book!! 7y

CareBear @TricksyTails to be honest I missed the Chandrian references with Felurian 😳 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear 🤣🤣🤣 Oh thank you! I don‘t feel so bad now! 7y

Kamisha @TricksyTails definitely! I majored in anthropology, so the way he‘s learning the ins and outs of their culture and language makes my little anthro heart happy! 😂 7y

CareBear @TricksyTails @MinDea ok Facebook message sent! 🤞 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! My hero! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 7y

TricksyTails @Kamisha That is just so cool! The hand language is fascinating! Rothfuss did an amazing job describing it in such detail. I can visualize everything perfectly. 7y

TricksyTails Okay @MinDea your turn for your letter!! 7y

TK421 @TricksyTails keep reading. The Chandrian awaits. 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 🙀🙀🙀 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 🏃🏻‍♀️🍑🔥🔥🔥 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 YESSSSSS! Thank you!! 🙌😘 7y

TK421 @TricksyTails you have already encountered one of them. But who was it?😈 7y

MinDea @TricksyTails @CareBear Kvothe asks Felurian about The Chandrian and she shuts him down fast. Nothing major just says they don't talk about them. It's the chapter with The Oracle you should look up! He talks about Denna, how close he was to them with the bandits. It's a good scene! 7y

CareBear @tk421 oh my gosh, the suspense!!!! 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 Ehhhhh? 🤔 WTH? Was I asleep when I read this section? Cinder? Cinder was so close! Tell me there‘s more than just a glimpse of the Chandrian. I want some of chapter 91 Kvothe and Cinder to go head to head! Hmm...think think think...who? 🧐 7y

TricksyTails @CareBear Right? He‘s so good at dropping little tidbits that make you crazy with curiosity! 7y

MinDea Hey! No spoilers! 7y

Andrew65 Well that has certainly whetted our appetite for the next two sections @TK421 , well done @CareBear - will be interested to hear his response. 👍👏🙌🙌🙌 7y

BethM I like @ScientistSam theory about Fleurian's name/music! The 90s have been the only redeeming parts since leaving university. I agree with @MinDea it's dragging and hard to hold my attention. I'm with @CareBear no way is the mystery of the Chandrian being solved. 7y

BethM @TK421 when you say we've met a Chadrian do you mean the one they've already mentioned? Also, the Adem sex attitudes bother me more than I expected. 7y

MinDea I was just joking about the spoilers @TK421 @TricksyTails !!! Please answer @BethM cause I would like to know too!!!! 😂😂😂 7y

ScientistSam @BookwormAHN @MinDea yes maybe he is hiding out to avoid the repercussions or paying the Adem. But I could see the books after the trilogy having him figure out a way to avoid his doom. 7y

ScientistSam @TricksyTails I'm sympathetic to what Denna is going through, but I feel like she's using Kvothe. So at this point I'm torn about her. 7y

ScientistSam I've also been really struck by Rothfuss's passion for music. Does anyone know if he is a musician? I feel like he must be to write about music with such love. 7y

TK421 @BethM @MinDea @TricksyTails I have failed you. I read the rest of the book, and the part I was thinking of was when the tree thingy talked about Cinder. My old man memory is not what it used to be.😞 But I had forgotten a few awesome and interesting that happen before the end of the book. Sorry about the misleading Chandrian comment. Forgive Me! 7y

laundry_piles So I'm totally late to the party but I finished the book yesterday so I don't want to let anything slip. Chandrian still a big fan mystery... Hello book number three. 7y

laundry_piles "big fat mystery" ... Stupid auto correct 7y

MinDea @laundry_piles @TK421 I plan to finish the book soon. I want to finish my current read and then will finish. excited to discuss the ending with everyone in 2 weeks! @TricksyTails @Andrew65 @ScientistSam @BookwormAHN @BethM @CareBear 7y

Andrew65 @MinDea Yes I plan to finish the book soon too whilst it is fresh in my memory. 7y

AmyG Sorry I‘m late to the party...Passover. A little slow for me until Ch. 91. I agree that fear puts Kvothe‘s mind in a state where he is able to do incredible things. Perhaps he just reacts as opposed to thinks. I kept wondering if Bast is his child with Felurian. That part was a bit brutal for me....slow. The Oracle tree was fascinating. Vashet...interesting, but how much more learning? And I should only live ling enough to read this entire story. (edited) 7y

AmyG I also think he will find Denna again. And when he does, he will be a way different person. 7y

tonyahoswalt @MinDea @TricksyTails So sorry I'm late to the discussion. We went out of town for the weekend and I didn't have Litsy access. I'm reading the comments now! 7y

tonyahoswalt @TricksyTails @MinDea @Andrew65 @ScientistSam @BethM @TK421 @CareBear @ghosthost @BookwormAHN @laundry_piles @Kamisha Hey guys, sorry I'm late. Just a few of my thoughts...someone asked how old Kvothe is when he is telling his story to Chronicler. I think it said he's no older than 25. Might have dreamed that. I didn't like much of the Felorian stuff, other than the cloak itself. While I miss the school, I do like the Adem bits. 7y

MinDea @tonyahoswalt I thought he was still young even as Kote so that would align with what I was remembering too! Agree, wondering how Felurian comes back later as it was such a long part of the story that I think she has to show back up again. But maybe because the theory that Bast is his kid might make sense. Do we know how old Bast is? 7y

MinDea @AmyG 7y

TricksyTails @ScientistSam I adore how he writes about music. It gets me so emotional! 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 LIES! 🤣🤣🤣 Welp, there went all the fire to hurry and finish. 7y

TricksyTails @laundry_piles Soooo...now that you‘re finished with it, would you recommend the book? 7y

TricksyTails @tonyahoswalt No apologies necessary! No such thing as being late! Join when you can. 😉 The Felurian bits dragged for me A LOT so I zoned out through most of it. So much so that I apparently missed some important Chandrian references. 🙃 I love the Adem culture! 7y

laundry_piles @TricksyTails hmmmmm I think I would only recommend it to someone who I knew cold handle a lengthy 7y

laundry_piles ... story. The story telling is captivating but it's a bit of a slog. So short answer, no lol 😂 7y

MinDea Hahaha. @laundry_piles did you like the first one better than the second one? 7y

MinDea Do you think it felt so long cause we read these two back to back? 7y

TK421 @TricksyTails I'm sorry for killing your drive to finish the book. I'll force myself to listen to 80s power ballads all day at work tomorrow.😢 7y

laundry_piles @MinDea you know I liked them equally but felt the same way about both, that they were just to long. I had read the first one before the group read and felt the same way about it then too. It's hard to explain. I like it but hate how the story doesn't really pick up until almost the end and then at that point I just want to be finished with it. 7y

MinDea I understand, they are long books and sometimes it seems dragged on! @laundry_piles This one could have been cut down a bit. This one has been you her for me than the first one. 7y

laundry_piles @MinDea don't get me wrong, I'll still read the third (if it's ever released) because I'm captivated by the story but I feel like the length is a cruel joke by the author 😂 7y

MinDea @laundry_piles maybe he is hoping it takes you as much time to read it as it does him to write the next one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 7y

BethM @MinDea @laundry_piles I feel you. Though I liked the first one better. I have ALL kinds of feelings about this one, and I'd say 60/40 split unfavorable. Maybe 55/45. But, I suppose that's the hallmark of a great author- to make you feel things. But yeah- this one could've been shorter. Idk if I would've made it through this one without the buddy read. 7y

MinDea @BethM I so agree! This group helped me keep going, not sure if I would have otherwise! 7y

TricksyTails @laundry_piles I get that. Totally. 😂 Any desire to read Auri‘s novella? 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 Not. Good. Enough. You must listen to all Tears for Fears albums then all of A-Ha. 🤣🤣🤣 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 And then finish that off with some Rico Suave. 🤣😂🤣😂 7y

laundry_piles @TricksyTails oh yeah! Sitting on my book shelf as we speak! 7y

laundry_piles @MinDea @BethM haha totally agree! 7y

BethM @TricksyTails of course! Waiting to start with the group. Im looking forward to Auri's story. 7y

TK421 @TricksyTails cruel but fair. Rico Suave is going to be painful.😰 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 How‘s that Rico Suave going today? 😆 7y

TK421 @TricksyTails I was going to share the lyrics to get it in your head as well, but good lord I can't in good conscience share these with anyone! They would offend any woman of any age in any time period. Shame on you Gerardo!😡😂 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 🤣🤣🤣 That‘s how I felt about using Winger and Bulletboys and that‘s why I changed my mind! 7y

TK421 @TricksyTails how about you just start whistling the beging of Angel Is A Centerfold? That can't stay in your head forever, can it?😈 7y

TricksyTails @TK421 Ooh good one! How lucky am I that I was too busy today and only now seeing this?! That definitely would‘ve worked its way into my ear all day! 7y

BarbaraJean @MinDea Two days late, but thank you for the Happy Birthday!! I‘m finally making my way through the discussion... 200+ comments?!? I missed so much!! 😂 Can‘t wait to discuss the ending in 2 weeks! 7y
