Did the villain win?
Did Logen die?
Will Jezal ever break free of Bayaz' grasp?
Why is Glokta the best character?

What should I read next if I enjoyed this?

Don't you judge me.

I've read it

no, go read Joe Abercrombie's First Law series, it's definitely what you want to read if you like ASOIAF


Rothfuss is so fucking overrated it's not even funny, the book is his COLLEGE LIFE FANTASIES, I SHIT YOU NOT

there's this briiiiilliant boy, his parents get killed, and guess what, the briiiiliant boy survives years of being a street urchin with no money or training, AND DAZZLES HIS WAY THROUGH COLLEGE, where he
a. saves a hot girl in the chemistry lab
b. kills a vegetarian dragon (so edgy)

that, gentlemen, is the first book

he should be sued for false advertising, "Kingkiller Chronicles" is ridiculously deluding title

>>2562610
is actually correct
>>2562621
is a good recommendation

Name of the Wind is not a book I hate, it's just super overrated. He gets lost into the details, and doesn't deliver a properly paced story.


OP by your post YOU don't read much fantasy
Please, don't take offense though and read The First Law trilogy

OP mistborn is pretty cool but the magic systems themselves are made purely for the combat, the author himself said so

you have great combat and great characters and story though

his best work ever is Way of Kings, read that
> generally wary of fantasy novels and any story that uses magic as a plot device
well you don't read much do you, you probably think Sanderson is like Goodkind, you probably think all fantasy is "the wizard got angry and the walls started cracking" or "she focused and ignored the vines crushing her and killed the wizard with a true shot"
that's goodkind's filth, Sanderson writes about the characters, but first of all he creates an original world where magic doesn't affect the plot, but it does affect the world itself (social status, environment, weather, races, geography)

start reading, alternatively if you want a more grounded fantasy book series read either ASOIAF or my personal favorite, Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy

>Is it fair to say that all Villains are created fromt this one character.

evil is where you point your finger at
it's a man-made construct

Yeah he should. I have all my books with the bloody map versions. I fucking love them. I loved how the first two books were normal-sized then Last Argument of Kings is like an inch taller than the rest and disproportionately heavier. It's like a proper tome.

Also, these covers got Jezal down quite well, I think.

Books where the badguy wins, plain and simple.

Picture very, very fucking related, despite how awesome I found the trilogy. It's not a pleasant ending for the protagonists either way, but once you've thought about it a few seconds it hits you.

"The worst fuckers of 'em all got off scott free."

and you love it.
