    Wise mans fear. Jesus christ what a trainwreck.

    Name of the wind has a lot of issues as well, but god damn I was hooked!

    I am not even sad that the third book is probably never coming out, the second book killed all my interest.

      Rothfus was like “meh, I’m already rich and famous, why struggle through a third book? I’m done!” Half of the 2nd book was stolen from Wheel of Time anyways.

        Listen, if Rand had gone off to study the blade with lady sex-ninjas, I think I would remember!

          His time with the Aiel was very similar to Rothfus’ whatever the sex ninjas were called.

      I read the first book because I kept hearing how great it was supposed to be. I didn’t even make it halfway through the second book, lol.

      I really enjoyed Name of the Wind until about 3/4 of the way through and I sat back and though: Orphan kid, goes to magic school, has male and female friend classmates, one professor seems to not like him…holy shit, I’m reading a reimagining of fucking Harry Potter.
