Something that might interest his fans......

And as part of this Kickstarter, we're thrilled to announce a collaboration with New York Times bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss. The very first expansion to the game will be set in the world of Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind. Your hero could attend the University, study under a mysterious mentor, train as a mercenary, and seek to learn the names of all things. In Call to Adventure, you decide!

You know what'd be even more interesting? If he wrote the third book.

Having read the second, I don't think I agree.

Rothfuss also talked about his satisfaction with the team assembled for the TV adaptation of The Kingkiller Chronicle coming to Showtime. “The TV show is always sort of a source of unexpected delight,” Rothfuss said. “I have such respect for the writers’ room that they’ve put together, really genuinely lovely people.”

Rothfuss appeared on the B&N podcast to promote the trade paperback release of his four issue comic book miniseries Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, co-authored with Jim Zub, with art from Troy Little.

My favourite part, re: book 3:

‘When it’s ready I will bring it to you,’ and until then, trust that I am working,” Rothfuss said

I believe him that he's working; just not on book 3...

Odds on the show wrapping up before he finished book 3?

While the waiting goes on ,for those who want their Kingkiller fix.......
If interested the expansion for Call of Adventure is based on The Kingkiller Chronicles.

About that third book...

His editor has never seen anything from it...

I stand by my comment that the show will air before book 3 will come out.

He is a dick just call it a day and say he is too afraid to publish

He should be embarrassed to publish, those books were self absorbed masturbatory dirt.

Thargor · 05-12-2021 4:01am

Nah they were pretty special at the time tbh, I really would love to know what happened to him.

Agree. Read them a second time and its really clear how messed up his timelines are. The writing equivalent of painting yourself into a corner. Unsure how he can finish the story. But I'll read all three when/if he does publish.

Over a year later, we're still waiting for a response from Rothfuss to the editor's comments - rumours are that he has written a first draft of a statement but it needs a bit more work.

Stolen jokes aside, there were some other fairly blunt comments from the editor (Betsy Wollheim) in the Facebook thread:

Comment: It’s been nine years? Woah. Ok, that does seem excessive. I mean, some authors can do a book a year and some can’t, but still. Although I don’t think the article is trying to blame the editor? Well, not the publisher’s editor. Rothfuss-as-editor of his current draft maybe. BW Response: I don’t think that’s clear. But being Pat’s editor, I might be overly sensitive. And actually ten years, but who’s counting?

Comment: I couldn't possible speak to Pat's process, and to be honest, I stopped looking for Book 3 quite some time ago. If it ever comes out, I'll consider reading it, butonly if it's the last book in the series. BW response: It will be the last book in Kvothe's backstory, but Pat originally wanted to write more in this world. I don't know what he wants to do now. Or even if he wants to write at all.

If that's what his publisher is willing to say publicly, then I think it's really dead in the water. Apart from being annoyed about his extra curricular activities, I think it's very sad, he must have some serious mental demons. Nothing else explains it at this point.

The only think I can think of as I think he enjoyed writing the story is that he's tying himself up to force it to be a trilogy. I think if he instead went the WoT route (it's a trilogy, no five, no seven, no a gazillion) at least we'd see the story starting to progress and it would open up a chance to rumble around the various stories a bit more (but we'd risk GoT of endless sub plots never going anywhere instead). Or he simply decided he's made enough for living on for the rest of life and now it has to be perfect (i.w. GoT again...).

Igotadose · 23-02-2022 4:17pm

Don't see how it could be a trilogy in fairness, the 3rd book would have to cover many years of action.

Trojan · 23-02-2022 5:20pm

It's hilarious to think that WOT was planned as a trilogy. I'm very glad I didn't get into reading it until book 9 was out, I only had to wait 12 years for the final 5 books (and the final book had to be split in two by Sanderson too).

Even GRRM split a book. I hope that someone has actually told Rothfuss that it's ok to do DOS as two books. It would make a lot more sense.

We eventually got The Republic of Thieves from Lynch...

lordgoat · 27-02-2022 12:12pm

LOL - this is dead. Basically what has the editor to lose here, PR won't deliver the next book this year... oh wait.

For me it's not an issue about the number of books but the storyline has been written in a way that he can't get out of. I don't remember the specifics but from memory there are multiple threads that don't seem to be able to be aligned. You'd argue a better editor would have spotted this but...

Trojan · 30-03-2022 10:05am

Sounds like he's still working hard on book 3
