Paul asked this question about The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1):
Anyone else notice the how the story line mimicked the wheel of time? I liked most of the story and there is plenty of original plot so I will recommend it but it was very similar to other books, just more condensed.
Stephen Burkholz similar concepts for sure. I hate how the Lethani and Ji'e'toh are very close as well as the Aiel and the Ruh... He must have pulled concepts. Rothfus…moresimilar concepts for sure. I hate how the Lethani and Ji'e'toh are very close as well as the Aiel and the Ruh... He must have pulled concepts. Rothfuss is a shitter for making us wait for 10+ years for the 3rd book and no end in sight. He's nowhere near Jordan in the scope of writing and world-building. Its sad people think so.
