i'm not even a big "the name of the wind" fan and i hate when people criticize it bc kvothe is always the best at everything and is like do you realize he is like always boasting, like you know that's the fun part, right? that he's an egotistical bastard? have you not seen the bard archetype? unreliable narrators?

This silence was the largest one of the three: it enveloped the first two, contained them in itself - bottomless and boundless,
like the end of autumn. It was the patient obedience of a cut flower, the silence of a man who waiting the death.

It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.

The Narrow Road Between Desires (Patrick Rothfuss)
I was a bit lukewarm about this tbh but lbr I'm in too deep, of course I was gonna read it
I don't remember Lightning Tree all that well, but this definitely adds a lot
There isn't that much story, but it's Rothfuss, ambiance and worldbuilding are more of the point
There's a whole system of divination that wasn't touched in the main books
The illustrations are gorgeous and joyous
A lot of my issues with Lightning Tree were addressed
The book is surprisingly queer! Pan Bast! Trans rep and rights!
The treatment of abuse and how it is a cycle that can be broken made me cry
Also the author's note made me cry
I'm excited to reread this! And kkc! And find connections and stuff!
9/10

You know why we're not having The doors Of Stone? Because The Waystone Inn lays in a silence of three parts, AND THE THIRD PART IS THE DEEPEST AND HEAVIEST PART.

I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the university at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during the day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
You may have heard of me.
[Image ID: A drawing of Kvothe. His hair is down to his shoulders and red. His eyes are bright green and his skin is pale. He is smirking, one hand clutching his shoulder strap, and the other hand raised level to his chin, as if grasping for air. He is wearing a long green coat and a grey undershirt with a dark belt, and leather pants. His lute is strapped behind him. The background is a dark grey with greenish wisps of air flowing around him. /End ID]
