As a customer, we're also entitled to say "this is taking too long and it's making me an unsatisfied customer." If you put a book series out, and advertise and release it as a trilogy, you have some obligation to release things in a reasonably timely manner, keep people updated on your status, and not miss too many deadlines. You sold it as a trilogy and let me purchase 2/3rds of the product, and are now delaying the final 1/3rd of the product for a significant period of time. I am entitled to be a little annoyed by that, or to question when the book might come out.

If I order a steak dinner, with ministrone soup and a baked potato, and you bring out the ministrone and baked potato in 15 minutes, then tell me after an hour, it'll be another hour for the steak, then after that hour, tell me 2 more hours, then after those 2 hours, tell me you don't know when the steak will be ready, I have a right to be annoyed by that, and most people would walk out of the restaurant and possibly never return if that happened. I empathize with him wanting to get the book perfect, and I'm not saying he's a bad person for not releasing it, but I do have a right to question and be annoyed with and complain about the book not being released yet.(less)

Hi, my name is Caleb. Greg was actually my father, I am posting on his account. My father, Greg, started reading this series when he was 55. He has since died of old age waiting for the conclusion of this story. So, I ask you this: Will the finale of this trilogy be released before I die of old age, as well? I would like to be able to explain how the story ended, to my father, in the afterlife. Thank you.

Realistically speaking the most probably way of having a third book is Mr. Rothfuss dying of old age, and then Brandon Sandeson finishing the series. (less)

Read something else while you are waiting and let the man work on his book. You don't want to see half baked work, do you?

Jumper RBK The issue here he doesn't even work on his book lol. If he is still baking his book since 10 years ago, it's now burn to crisp lol.

Is there any possibility of there being more than 3 books? I got the impression that this is a trilogy, yet there seems to be so much more in the story... Like Kote's return to becoming Kvothe(because seriously, I hope that happens), and maybe the story of the present time..... For the life of me, I can't imagine how Rothfuss can fit so much story into one book... I just hope Doors of Stone is really long lol.

His website consists of posts on all sorts of topics, pictures of him at book signings (and with hordes of young women around him), and nothing about the third book. I think he has gotten so wrapped up in being a well-known author that he has no time to write. The seduction of fame...(less)

Who will finish their next book first? George R R Martin or Patrick Rothfuss? Place your bets ;-)
