spoiler: Kvothe was a ghost the whole time. Also, the wind's name is Phil.

Exactly!

Out of the 30 or so sci fi writers .... Patrick is currently my favourite. I really cannot wait for book 3 ! Awesome!

It seems that story and explanation a somewhat blatant way of preparing fans for an ending to the Kingkiller Chronicles that they may consider a twist ending and that they may not be entirely happy with. :P If you read subreddits and fan theories you may see I that a lot of fans have created an ending or endings in their head that they really want to see and have devoted themselves to to the point where that is the ending they are SURE will happen. However, after watching several interviews it seems like the ending Pat has in mind is not what people suspect or necessarily want. He often answers questions regarding theories with "that's what a lot of people think" or something along those lines. I predict that the ending will be something that upsets a good portion of the fanbase at first but, over time and over several readings, like he talks about, people will see that it is in-fact quite a brilliant ending from a critical story telling perspective. Personally, I am mentally preparing myself for an ending in which Kote doesn't turn back into Kvothe, and ending where he doesn't fix whatever he screwed up. and ending where he doesn't defeat the Chandrian, and ending where he either keeps on living a depressing life of a pathetic innkeeper, or rather, as the prologue AND epilogue of every book says....he just dies as Kote. "It is the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die." Many fans aren't prepared for the possibility that when Kvothe's story ends...the book ends.

And all through the book they were saying once you know someone's Name you have power over them. Denna changes her name constantly, really. really think why's she so cautious about that. my theory is that her Patron, whoever he is knows her true name, Kvothe only knows part of it (like the unhappy boy who falls in love with the moon) However Denna's patron has more power over her than that.

Gotta read the books a second time after watching this

And yes I love the language- and it's one of the biggest reasons why I love the read, more so than other stories ( and yes I've read them 5-6 times while I wait ) PS I'm also a Tea Geek ^^

"Mama, I don't like this book" LOLLLLL. I love this guy. Just started Name of the Wind. So excited.

So the problem with writing stories in the same world is that we know this world largely through Kvothe. I'm loving the opportunity to read more about this world but worry it won't be as great outside of our beloved shaper. Kvothe is such an amazing character with the perfect perspective to appreciate this wolrd.

HANK!

Patrick rothfuss called it magic

In regards to The Adventures of the Princess and Mr Whiffle, Told my daughter to come check this out after the first two scenes. loved the suspense at the end of part 2( admittedly was scared for a long night of bad dreams) but I was hard pressed to not let my daughter finish it as she knew there was more. So on we went, and in the end my daughter was clapping along with the rest of the audience. Well played Pat. P.S. Not sure if you give a hoot or will see this, but go Vikes this Sunday!

The thing Hank was talking about, with the break of the standard fantasy. Although I dislike Denna, the fact that the hero of the story is in love with a hooker instead of some princess or the sexy student (Fela) is awesome.

Amelle Kyre That's what I'm saying. The difference between Kvothe and Denna is that we are following Kvothe from a first-person perspective, and therefore know his intentions and feelings. That's it. Everything else is just Rothfuss tricking us into making false assumptions, and this is exactly why he's such a good writer. If you sit down and try to see things from Denna's perspective you realize that she is just like him, except that she's a woman, and she never had the luck of being educated by an arcanist at an early age. She is doing her best to survive using the tools she has, which are very limited. This has left her very much untrusting of people who she know could hurt her. She's obviously pretty damaged, just like Kvothe. Despite all this she's all but outright told our hero that she trusts him and if he pushed a bit more she would gladly follow. Kvothe is so clouded by his false assumptions that he doesn't really see that, and so we as readers are tricked into thinking he's being reasonable about her when he clearly isn't. I encourage you to read the books again whilst questioning every fact and assumption Kvothe makes, and not being blinded by what your expectations tell you. It's been very interesting!

I like the King Killer Chronicles because of how it sounds

When he says his favorite play is Cyrano de Bergerac, my very high opinion of him, which I didn't think could get higher, did get higher. That play is one of the best plays ever written. I consider him to be the best modern fantasy author.

Kvothe isn't going to eat a kitten. Kvothe IS the kitten.

No because to me, pats just the non shitty Cthaeh. And I love that head cannon so much. Also, he is so tender when the little miss asks her question. You can tell he’s a careful parent.

If you associate the Princess with Kvothe, it seems that in the end the protagonist turns out to be the villain. As for Anakin in Star Wars, a good little boy with big powers, Kvothe could lose the right way and become one of the Chandrians. (After killing them all, of course)

This man is a brilliant storyteller.

He's fantastic- the books- eh. I tried to get on the hype train but it's just nowhere near what I seek in fantasy. Still, you can't help but admire Rothfuss' charm.

Yes he's brilliant but his hostile disposition toward anyone wanting to get an update on book 3 really turns me off. One half wants to make the argument that it's his story and he can finish it or decide to never finish it if he wants and everyone complaining is being unrealistic and selfish. The other half (my half) invested money and time into this trilogy and feel cheated when they're unable to finish the story. All the while he releases other, far less interesting work, pursues tv deals, teases that he's working on it and does tons of blogs/vlogs where he just screws around. I'm sorry but when you connect with that many people and they invest their time and money in you, you have an obligation to finish and deliver the work. He claims the trilogy was all finished back when the first 2 were published. I'm just over the whole George rr Martin writing speed thing and keeping people on the hook. Rant over.

Perhaps you should consider the possibility that his refusal to 'wind things up' neatly isn't indicative of poor storytelling, but is actually an unusual and very rewarding way of telling a tale.

If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers."
