/lit/ - Literature

How could you lie to /lit/? This was the most boring 600+ pages I've read in a long time. The story goes nowhere after kvothe arrives at the university, endless pages that could've been edited down and not repeating itself. And the chandrian and lord haliax are only seen and referred to once or twice in the whole book Its like a coming of age story except the hero decides to do nothing. I was expecting something more.

The Name of the Wind.

Hear me out: it's a middling-quality high-fantasy novel that has been fairly popular for some time.
1. It will be easy for a tween to read, but it's long enough to make him feel smart.
2. The main character's whole shtick is how great he is at everything, but mostly reading, study, and academic discipline. It will make the kid want to be smart.
3. It's not a terrible book on its own, and will impart some sensible real-world wisdom.

Made me realize how fantasy is a doomed genre

I have read both books 3 times since I bought them in 2013. They get better with each reading
