Who else has read this? Thoughts?

Interesting magic system. Main character isn't as interesting as Rothfuss thinks, although I'm waiting for the last book before I fully decide on whether I like it or not.

Are you implying there are homoerotic undertones in that cover?

Rothfuss is so fucking gay for his faultless and infallible Mary Sue know-it-all author self-insert that is not even funny.

>> No.2793695

First is OK; decent writing makes up for the derivative plot and flat characters.

Second is awful. You could tell Rothfuss was just masturbating to his author-insert.

I read it. My 13 year old brother forced me to, as part of a deal we had. It was shit, but that didn't surprise me. Expecting a fantasy novel to be good is like scraping a petrified dog turd off the sidewalk, taking a bite out of it, and expecting it to taste like caviar.
