i can see why a lot of you are frustrated with Rothfuss's lack of haste in supplying day 3, but personally i coud just carry on rereading day 1 and 2 until its release. Ive also read many different reviews on tSRoST's. i understand that it is just 7 days within the life of a character that doesnt go anywhere inparticular (correct?) in this case i think only the fans who have been truly captured by the kingkiller chronicles and Rothfuss's style that will enjoy it or at least appreciate it.
there's a few points i would like to discuss about the first two books that i havent spotted within the discussion previously. first, we all seem convinced that the girl Kvothe is taking about when struggling to think how best to introduce her to the story is Denna (correct me if im mistaken) but its never really made clear that it is Denna. i would of been convinced myself beyond any reasonable doubt that it was Denna if she hadnt already been introduced to the story before this point. The Denna that travells with Kvothe from Tarbean to the university is THE Denna is it not? Plus from the point were Kvothe does struggle with how best to introduce HER, Kvothe himself gets quite intermate (to some extent or another) with a number of key strong female characters before Denna sings with him at the Aolian. theres something there between Devi and Kvothe. its a long shot but she is kinda the female equivilent of Kvothe and would be much more useful to him in hid further endevours than Denna no doubt. Theres Auri, everybody loves her. but as i understand she wasnt in the original script which kinda scuppers that one.... maybe?? Bast lets us know that he's seen her once, which lets us know this women has entered the land of the Fae.. no? not a very good insight unless master Ash is Fae of some kind or familiar with.
Another would be the whole 'kings that gets killed' thing. i personally think that Ambrose is the king in the present, not the king Kvothe kills. Mear Alveron is third in line for the throne... ??? maybe Ambrose's dad is killed by Kvothe which would explain the huge bounty on head.
There's also a lot of fans that belive when Kvothe was expelled from the university and then re enstated, is the expulsion hes taking about in his introduction. Im not buying this. i would like it to be the case but it just doesnt fit. plus who do we think Kvothe hurts or worse to get expelled? Hes gonna be able to call the name of almost anything especially when under extreme stress? could one of masters get it?
Has anyone listened to the audio books? Degas is a masterful story teller! the best ive listened to so far, and truly does the books justice. his accents for each character are fantastic and he throws in a couple of well known actors accents. loved them! although im glad that Kramer reads most of Brandons books. please dont judge me for being a listener. i barely get time to read.
