Why is Denna so shittily written? In fact why is this thing full of wish fulfillment cardboard-cutouts? Also, why do women only have a decorative function in it?

Lucy Hattersley I liked it right up to the point where he had "Legend Sex With Queen Of Teh Faries" and was "Best At Sex Evah" from that point on.

The spell was broken and I just sniggered through the rest. It read like a 16-year-old Reddit wank fantasy from that point on.(less)

Do you guys think he's going to get to the Chandrian in full force next book or are we going to get more Harry Potter?

Linda Barnett Actually, I don't care - it's so refreshing to read books that don't conform to formula that I'll be happy wherever the story takes me.…moreActually, I don't care - it's so refreshing to read books that don't conform to formula that I'll be happy wherever the story takes me.(less)

I read The Name of the Wind and enjoyed it - I decided I didn't need to get hooked on the series, but I admire his writing and imagination tremendously.

I think, though, that that might be a bit too obvious, and it would just be painful to have Rothfuss make this abuser into a Bad Guy of mythic proportions.

I prefer to think that he's just going to turn out to be a regular nasty character or, my personal favourite, that he'll turn out to be one of the Amyr (which would explain a lot, and would give Kvothe the opportunity to discover just how dangerous and prone to corruption the idea of "for the greater good" is).

Like others, I'm thinking it could be Bredon. Bredon is just way too mysterious, and it would be unsatisfying if this is the last we've heard of him. (less)
