Ever since I can remember, I've named various computing devices of mine by book characters I'm reading about at the time. I needed an old USB drive and picked one from a pile. The name is Kvothe and I was immediately struck with deep sadness. Anyone familiar with the story and character?

Oh Rothfuss, it's been **many** years since I've used this thumb drive and we still haven't seen book three. 😭

#Rothfuss, #kingkiller #kingkillerchronicles

Here's a spoiler-lite Book Blast on last month's release of a Kingkiller Chronicle novella, The Narrow Road Between Desires. Is it what we wanted? Needed? Does it ease the longing for Book 3? Is it worthy? Take a look! #Kingkiller #SFF #Fantasy #NarrowRoad https://youtu.be/eW6ODghUS2s
The Narrow Road Between Desires (BOOK BLAST: Kingkiller Chronicle 2.6)

There are lots of runner-ups. Here are a few, and why, in no particular order...

-
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordon and Brandon Sanderson. Jordon wasn't the most eloquent writer, and Sanderson is a workhorse, but both know how to plot on a truly EPIC scale, and both are gifted world-builders. IMO, the show is better than the books so far.

-
The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. Unfinished, and say what you want about Kvothe, but you have to be born without a heart not to appreciate the brutal honesty of this self-lost man trying to remember his own Name.

-
A Song of Ice and Fire by GRR Martin. Another well-written but unfinished entry to the genre, but with less mysterious magic than above. The writing, though? Martin has his own magic. It's undeniable.

- Anything by Joe Abercrombie. There's a true successor to Glen Cook. That's what Cook would've wanted, I think. It's only sometimes epic, you see. Mostly, it's in the dirt and mud and gore. It's Sword & Sorcery in an epic realm, with rare occurrences of magic. But pieces keep dropping, with questions attached...

-
The Ryria Chronicles by Michael J Sullivan, and pretty much his whole oeuvre since that's what he works on. There's something workmanlike in his writing. It's straightforward in prose, not encumbered by lofty voice. It's deeper than it seems. Start with the buddy stories and unravel the mysteries of the Ryria, and it opens up a whole Silmarillion of fantasy epic adventure in Sullivan's Legends of the First Age series. Which ARE epic.

that part in Wise Man's Fear when kvothe completely loses it not because of all the bad shit that was going on in his life but because he lost his lute and his music was the only thing holding him together, that's a mood...

An amazing character from @[email protected], a fantastic depiction by @[email protected], and a great frame job by my local custom frame shop. I'm very happy to finally get this up on my wall.

“Oh yes. It was well worth it, doing things the proper way.”

Elodin is very Chris Knight, Ambrose is Kent, we have young prodigies that snap under the pressure, a mysterious character living in the elaborate underbelly of the campus... all we need now is an assignment to build a powerful sympathy laser and a phase-conjugate dowsing system in the Fishery #Kingkiller #NameoftheWind #RealGenius
Just finished #Kingkiller first #book #NameoftheWind on #audiobook. Enjoy the take on magic, the frame narrative because I basically aspire to be a fantasy innkeeper, but most of all the crazy #RealGenius vibes I get off the university plotlines
