Hopefully never, the second book is by far the worst thing I never finished

>>24956395
It's not. He hasn't written even the FIRST CHAPTER of this book that he promised in a charity fundraiser years ago
>>
>>24956521
Why tho? Muh depression?
>>
>>24956521
I thought the story was that the draft was written years ago and it's not edited? Either way, yeah we're never getting this book. Victim of his own success.
>>
>>24956521
such a blunder
how you gonna promise a chapter of your book to receive charity donations and never deliver?
people go to prison for fraud
should he be in prison? idk
maybe he should be charged with fraud and a jury of our peers can deliberate on it

Anyone who still believes this is an idiot.

Selitos = Iax = Eucanis = Cthaeh
Haliax = Lanre = Tehlu = son of Iax
(A great silence descended, and the fetters of enchantment fell away from Selitos. He cast the stone at Lanre’s feet and said, “By the power of my own blood I bind you. By your own name let you be accursed.”)

Cinder = Ferula = Menda = son of Lanre and Lyra = ex-husband of Felurian
(The door opened, and a man stepped out. [...] He stood proud and tall, with coal-black hair and eyes. “I am the one you think is Menda,” he said in a voice both powerful and deep. “What do you want of me?”)
(I tried to steer her in the direction of the Chandrian. “no,” she said, looking me squarely in the eye, her back straight. “I will not speak of the seven." [...] “If you ask of the seven again in this place, I will drive you from it. No matter if your asking be firm or gentle, honest or slantways. if you ask I will whip you forth from here with a lash of brambles and snakes. I will drive you before me, bloody and weeping, and it will not stop until you are dead or fled from fae.”)
Remmen = son of Menda and Felurian
(Felurian, Lady of Twilight, Lady of the First Quiet)
("Chronicler, I would like you to meet Bastas, son of Remmen, Prince of Twilight and the Telwyth Mael. [...] Who, over the course of a hundred and fifty years of life, not to mention nearly two years of my personal tutelage, has managed to avoid learning a few important facts.")
Bast = son of Remmen
(The question seemed to catch Bast unprepared. He stood still and awkward for a moment, all his fluid grace gone. For a moment it looked as if he might burst into tears. “What do I want? I just want my Reshi back.” His voice was quiet and lost. “I want him back the way he was.”)
(Bast likely doesn't know that his Reshi was a chandrian, given Felurian's reluctance to speak of them.)

Reshi means grandfather.
('It's not over if you're still here,' Chronicler said. 'It's not a tragedy if you're still alive.' . . . Kvothe looked at both of them for a moment, then smiled and chuckled low in his chest. 'Oh,' he said fondly. 'You're both so young.')
Kvothe + Cinder -> Kote
(“Took an arrow in the knee on my way through the Eld three summers ago”)

Warm, kind Menda lent Tehlu his fire (both of his body and his personality) and became cold, cruel Cinder.
Kote hopes to use Chronicler's written magic to lay Kvothe to rest, so that he can become Cinder again--and helps stuff Cthaeh back onto the tree.
(The Chandrians formed an arrowcatch that bound Eucanis to his "iron wheel"; doesn't work with Kote instead of Cinder)
(“Some are even saying that there is a new Chandrian. A fresh terror in the night. His hair as red as the blood he spills.”
“The important people know the difference,” Kote said as if he were trying to convince himself, but his voice was weary and despairing, without conviction.)

in a snippet of a story by scarpi, selitos and tehlu are seen to be on the same side opposing the chandrian. what makes you think cinder is menda or that reshi means grandfather?

This guy is severely cringe, on his YouTube channel (where he was playing among us) he made a video saying that jk Rowling had "put lead into the water supply" by implying to children that there are certain "types of people" with her house system in Harry potter. It was "toxic" to do that.

So Rothfuss can't create true art because he has to worry about people's interpretation of it. He feels a great need to conform. He needs to write a generic ending to feel safe.

But did he know how it would end when he began? It was his first novel so he may have simply wrote it without knowing or expecting that it would become popular.

His prose style is quite hideous and overrated even though everyone acts like he's a genius. Le three silences!!!
