The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss - Restarting August 10th 2019

[Shae]

54% it's coming back to me as I read. The characters names gif confusing before, so they are making it hard to remember if they aren't old or new characters (view spoiler)[ I loved that duel thingy between kvothe and Fenton. &5 felt like an adult Harry Potter scene. Found Auri interesting. I'm excited to read about him playing in the Eolian. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[Wonder if Auri's this girl he finds so enchanting? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

56% (view spoiler)[Knew he was going to finish it off well. Or if he didn't finish it, that what he had played would be enough to earn him his pipes. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

(view spoiler)[ loved how he continued playing with the broken string and bleeding hand!! I felt like it was very raw (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

As was the point :p

[Ivy]

I am around 74%. I got some read on the plane, but really the only thing I have to say is (view spoiler)[the book reads like a dating sim at times. Kvothe bothers me with his apparent inadequate abilities with women. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ah alright :p Shae and I are skipping today, and continuing on tomorrow until around 57%. Are you still liking it?

[Ivy]

It's been pretty good, but I think I'm getting sick of Kvothe as a character.

[Maddie]

Oh wow, that's interesting. Why?

[Maddie]

58% (view spoiler)[Kind of unbelievable how everyone cries over a song... Especially growing boys.

I thought it would be Denna, the girl he loved. But no idea that she was the singer! I thought it would finally be a believable story, that he would meet her on the road and that they'd never see each other again. It's finally become a little too much.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

60% (view spoiler)[Oh wow she's Sovoy's girlfriend? Jeez. I can't believe he let them banter like that with him right there.. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

59% (view spoiler)[ I'm glad we have got Denna back in the story. !74 I'm shocked she is sovoys gf! I can't believe he finally hit the pipes and gave them to her.

What do you mean all a little too much? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I mean like it's a little too unbelievable :/

[Ivy]

I'm not sure if this is a spoiler since it's just about Kvothe in general, but he's (view spoiler)[such a Gary Stu. He's so good at everything and people seem to love him for no real reason. (hide spoiler)]

[Ivy]

I totally agree, Maddison. It all does seem a little unbelievable.

[Maddie]

Kvothe (view spoiler)[I know right!! He's way better at everything than anyone else and he makes sure everyone knows it by being a smart ass. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

63% (view spoiler)[Love the way they made a song about Ambrose.

And his public letter of apology. He definitely knows how to play a dangerous game!

I love how he likes his tiny room and his non-wealthy people. It's nice.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

65% (view spoiler)[Bleh, Denna. What is her name? Is it Dianna or Denna? (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

64% (view spoiler)[ love that he got his book back! And I'm interested in seeing ambroses reaction to the public letter. Denna is annoying me. "Steal me" like seriously. And to be annoyed about getting roses off savoy. I don't like her haha (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I do like the clever interactions though haha. And what's wrong with Denna and not liking roses? I love the way he went through how they could be taken, like what they mean.

[Shae]

(view spoiler)[I liked how he went through all the flowers and what they mean. 9 just feel sorry for sovoy. He sent her roses and she is not happy about it. It was nice of him. And to say stuff like he had been trying to get in touch with her and also to tell kvothe to steal her. 8 just don't like it, she seems shady (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Probably put that in spoilers XD

(view spoiler)[Yeah, and the fact that she didn't seem to respect the way Sovoy wanted her. She wanted to do her own thing. (hide spoiler)]

[Ivy]

(view spoiler)[She acts like Kvothe is so different. I think if she gave those other guys a chance, she would find that they could have been more as well. I do like the scene with the flowers, even with my complaining, haha. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[And why doesn't he just tell her that they've met! I reckon she knows, and she's just acting like she doesn't. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Alright we are picking this up again now. Don't fear, Ivy! :p

[Maddie]

New schedule with remaining pages :p

15th - 450
16th - 480
17th - 510
18th - 540
19th - 570
20th - 600
21st - 630
22nd - end

[Maddie]

68% (view spoiler)[I now get the feeling that Denna is just playing him.. I hate how she seems to be such a slut, almost? Hanging off every guy? Teasing them all? And the fact that Kvothe feels his heart every time he sees her with other people...
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

69% (view spoiler)[Wasn't he the one who let the bone-tar leak out in the first place?? Or maybe I'm just confused. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

68%(view spoiler)[ I agree about Denna and seeming like she is playing him and getting around. Like what happened to that other guy? And I agree as well about him being the one who let the bone-tar leak, so why is he the hero per say! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Just making sure it was him who was in the wrong, and that he was the cause XD

[Ivy]

(view spoiler)[I had the impression that he mentioned that the casing it was in was was acting odd, but when he reported it to his senior, they did nothing about it and said it was okay. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

But still, he was the one who moved it all, wasn't he?

[Maddie]

As you can tell Ivy we are just playing it be ear :p And just reading it when we feel like it/have time. We are finishing this month though :p

[Maddie]

71% (view spoiler)[This is going around in circles... He has so much money and then he spends it, now he's poor again. Like super poor. Just go play your bloody lute dude. You keep saying how good you are. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

73% (view spoiler)[Seeing as he missed the note by like a week, does that mean that he hadn't been back to his room for that long?? He would've seen it in the window ledge. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Haha Maddison! Your comment made me laugh
72% (view spoiler)[ so was Dennna with the bar guy a few years ago? I liked the part about the wind, I'm keen to see more about that.

I like the girl he saved Fela. I wish he would be with her instead! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

She seems a little desperate though, Fela.

[Maddie]

I just get so frustrated when everyone gets the wrong idea as soon as they see someone with someone of the opposite gender.

[Ivy]

(view spoiler)[Kvothe really does annoy me when he gets a little money then spends it all. He has a problem. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Have you finished yet?

I'm definitely not giving this book 5 stars like many people have..

[Maddie]

75% (view spoiler)[Ooohhh more Chandrian stuff! And I like this horse. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ivy wrote: "I am around 74%. I got some read on the plane, but really the only thing I have to say is [spoilers removed]"

Yeah he describes everything way too much. It's frustrating me. Wishing I hadn't bought this book, I'd rather have bought a different one.

[Ivy]

I finished, and I was thinking of moving my rating from 4 stars down to 3. I can't decide.

[Maddie]

Ah right. Will you be continuing? It's just such an effort, especially considering WMF is 400 pages extra.

[Ivy]

If I do, I am going to need a huge gap in between books. This book wasn't exactly exhausting but it was quite long.

[Maddie]

Shae and I are spreading out Wise Man's Fear over July and August, and then reading the novella after that.

[Maddie]

83% (view spoiler)[ I actually can't even remember what happened. He found Denna as the survivor (obviously. I'm hating this now. It's way too annoying). Also information about the wedding. And that dragon is the blue fire? I imagine that to be a massive komodo. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

89% (view spoiler)[All about this draccus. Interesting yet boring at the same time :/ And he finally got closer to Denna. At least she said he could try for her a bit more. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

93% (view spoiler)[Okay what the shit is happening right now??

He gets expelled, and then suddenly they all turn around and promote him and give him a job........ Wtf????? I don't understand. What the heck happened? They all voted in favour of expulsion, and then straight after, next sentence, all but Hemme vote in favour of forgetting the expulsion... I do not follow. (hide spoiler)]

I was reading on the couch, determined to finish this book, but I had to visit my computer to rage about that. I'm so confused and it's unbelievable. My review for this book will be crazy.

[Ivy]

(view spoiler)[I know! I feel it went full Harry Potter there at the expulsion part. Like, how Dumbledore always gives Gryffindor the House Cup at the end of each book. And I thought the part with the draccus was the best part of the book just because things started happening. (hide spoiler)]
