My name is Kvothe. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. Your Comment:. Great book, Doors of Stone pdf is enough to raise the goose bumps alone. Add a review Your Rating: Your Comment:. Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. I agree with Kvothe. When you wait a few span or month to hear a finished song, the anticipation adds savor. By now, a year and a half nine years and a half passed and folk were almost mad with curiosity.

Previously, I had handled it in a bookstore, read the synopsis, decided that "maybe it's not for me". I read the book, and by golly, it was amazing. I fell in love with it. A year later lucky me the second book got published. I eagerly waited its translation into Portuguese.
My girlfriend saw that I was eagerly waiting for it, and decided to gift it to me since she gave me the first without barely knowing m Pat. My girlfriend saw that I was eagerly waiting for it, and decided to gift it to me since she gave me the first without barely knowing my tastes, she thought it would be romantic if she gave me the whole trilogy.
I liked it, a little less than the first one. Then came the tSRoST. Man, was I excited. Auri is my favorite character, and the story is so full of little hints about the workings of naming, i loved it.
Decided to wait for the translation yet again. None was forthcoming, and my girlfriend gave it to me as well this time in english. I read NotW in my first year of university. I have now finished it. I wrote my master thesis. You haven't written your book. It is sad, because I am was emotionally invested in the trilogy.
I recommended it to a lot of people. Everyone I knew who read anything slightly similar to fantasy. I defended you when the fans started to get restless. Yes, you are not our bitch. Yes, you can take all the time you want. When I started following you on facebook and blog, I saw how invested you were in worldbuilders. Pretty awesome, I thought and still do, charity is awesome, period.
I then decided that when I started working I would help your charities. As a way to reward you in more than one way. Because you wrote such good books. But you never wrote the third. And I can tell you to bugger off, you and your Tinker Packs and your charities and your conferences and your meet the author and your interviews.
I took my decision back. I no longer plan on helping any of the fundraisers you promote. I no longer plan on buying any merchandise you sell. I no longer plan on buying the third book if it ever gets published. There was a time I knew basically every minute detail of your books. There was a time I could discuss theories about it with nothing more than my memory. There was a time I told anyone who showed the slight interest about my favorite book.
There was a time I hoped. I have matured since then. I have discovered awesome authors currently one of my favorites is Sanderson, mainly because of the worldbuilding capacity he has. I have discovered awesome series. Awesome characters who are not entitled little pricks. A couple who are simply outright evil. Some that made me see the world in a different light. Nowadays when I talk about your book is to compare you to George R.
Martin and A song of Ice and Fire. Probably a more generous comparison than you deserve. So, this long rant is me saying goodbye. Your books marked me. I will probably always remember them. I will probably never read them again. I know I will never recommend them again. So go. Go live your life. I will as well. Publish the book. Don't publish the book. Give it to someone else to finish. Publish it only after you passed away. I no longer care. But neither are we yours.

He's lost the surety in his hand and I can't help but find it greatly ironic that he is now Kote. He needs a book that's perfect but that will never come to be because he's a shadow of his former self.
We the fans will wait and wait at that mahagony stretch of bar just like Bast hoping against all hope that our Reshi will come back to himself. Seeing the glimmer in his eyes every now and again as a sure sign that it's just a matter of time. But what we'll s Rothfuss isn't the writer he once was. But what we'll see more often than that glimmer is him polishing the bar, helping the Bentons, making movies and attempting to sell his fans worthless shit.
Doing anything and everything he can to avoid the writing process as his eyes grow more and more dull. And of course the silence will grow, feeding off of his inability. Eventually It'll spread over the lot of us like a cloak and In 5 years or so the people who have defended him all this time will see what the rest of us have seen all along. Patrick is a broken man and sometimes broken things can't be fixed. We've heard it again and again, not all stories have happy endings.
In fact some stories don't have endings at all. Patrick has become the embodiement of the character that he sought to create, that's more fitting than a 3rd book could ever be.
If you want to know how Kvothes story ends just pay close attention to the life of one Mr. Patrick Rothfuss. It is a treasure that has been shrowded in mystery for thousands of years. I may not know what is in it. But i'm reasonably certain of the fact that box itself is made out of wood from the Cthaeh tree. When inspecting the Lackless box Kvothe admits that he doesn't know what kind of wood it's made of. He knows that its old, and has a lot of iron in it and he knows that is smells familiar: "The wood itself was interesting.
It was dark enough to be roah, but it had a deep red grain. It smelled faintly of… something. I lowered my face to its surface and breathed in deeply through my nose, something almost like lemon.
It was maddeningly familiar. This is a quote from when he walks up to the Cthaeh "The wind shifted, and as the leaves stirred I smelled a strange, sweet smell. It was like smoke and spice and leather and lemon. It was a compelling smell. Not in the same way that food smells appealing. We know that the Cthaeh and the Lackless box smell exactly the same.
We know that the Cthaeh and the box have both been around for thousands of years. We also know that the wood from the Lackless box has a high iron content, couple that with the fact that the Cthaeh is supposedly trapped in the tree and things start to get interesting. For the sake of arguement lets just assume that the speculation above is correct. What if the Iron in the tree is whats keeping the Cthaeh contained? Is the Cthaeh one of the Fae? What would happen if an arcanist got his hands on the Lackless box?
He could probably create a decent link right. He might even be able to use it to free the Cthaeh from the tree. Didn't the fact that Cinder was playing bandit bother anyone? The same road that Melaun Lackless would have taken to get from her lands to Severin or vice versa. This explains why Cinder had so many people with him.
He wasn't just playing bandit. He needed enough men to overcome a lackless caravan. I see a lot of people trying to speculate about this. I am almost certain that its Bredon. The games of tak where Bredon and Kvothe size each other up. Bredon saying things like "why would I want to play anything but a beautiful game" and "Setting a trap when you know that your opponent is walking in with a trap of his own.
Maybe the games were just a front to get to know about kvothe. Maybe thats the only reason that he picked Denna in the first place. Maybe Bredon is really Aculess Lackless melauns father and kvothes grandfather. Who knows? Bredon or not, is involved with the Chandrian So Denna just so happens to be at a wedding in the middle of no where? Why would her suitor want her there? Unless he knew exactly what was about to happen.
Why would Denna's suitor ask her to keep track of exactly how many people were at the wedding? Why would that matter to him? Unless he needed the number to ensure that everyone was killed.
Ensure that they didn't miss anyone. Clean Sweep 5 The Skin Dancer is inside of the Chronicler and Bast knows it This is the description that the Chronicler gave when asked about the arm that was just grabbed by the skin dancer. What better way is there to find what its looking for than to sit and listen to kvothe tell his story -Bast insisted on giving the Chronicler a holly bell crown -Lastly I'd like to mention that the skin dancer wasn't trying to hurt people.
It was trying go come into physical contact with them in some way -Chroniclers arm is mentioned several times in the following books while the other injuries are not. Maybe what they found was really an Urn containing the ashes of Tehlu and Haliax. Would that be a good link? Doesn't smile or frown. What other reason did he have to poison the maer? I speculated that Bredon is working for the Chandrian.
Denna mentioned that her suitor had her looking through geniologies but she didn't know why. I speculated that the Chandrian want the Lackless box and whatever it contains. A kid that kvothe meets tells him that in order to open lackless door they need "a son to bring the blood. So one can come to the conclusion that the Chandrian want that door open, and that they are going to use both kvothe and Denna to do it. I mentioned earlier that Lanre wants to destroy everything, after speaking with the Cthaeh.
What better way to destroy everything then to release the enemy from behind the doors of stone? My theory in a nutshell.
The Cthaeh is malicious and all knowing. It can see the future, and it can mold it. I think that both the Lanre and Kvothe and Jax are pawns that the Cthaeh is using to get the doors of stone reopened. I think that the Cthaeh wants to free itself from behind the doors of stone.
It wants to free Jax who stole the moon, who knows why? But think about how freaked Vashet was when Kvothe was told his name was Maedre in Hearthstone.
A name with the meaning the broken tree If the tree refers to the Cthaeh and Kvothe some how allowed it to escaped I would be scared too. All I know is that in the current story line the doors are open grey stones -the fae run rampant I know that Jax is probably free -There is absolutely no moon in the current timeline I know that kvothe hasn't killed the Chandrian -If he did bast wouldn't fear there name being said aloud after the adem story I know that Denna is dead and that she probably betrayed kvothe cause that sounds like something that she would do After looking at this I can see that It has almost no structure.
That said I made a few valid points. If anyone somehow manages to cobble together a coherent theory or has an idea that I didn't mention I would love to hear about it in the comments.
Rothfuss I would like to apologize in advance for firguring your next book out before you had a chance to release it. If you had put it out sooner this all could have been avoided.

I'm a time-traveller and I call this one total crap. Hopefully, in the current timeline, it will get constructed better than in the one I read it and found out it was Meh!
For reals, I stopped half-way through the 1st book when I realised I was falling in love with it and would want to read the whole trilogy in 1 sitting. Hah, it's been a decade since then Ha-ha, it's the most highly-rated unexisting Ahem. Ha-ha, it's the most highly-rated unexisting book.
Ever, since the dinosaurs left their cultural history overview unstarted. Dd 4 Jan 3. Ok, maybe I was too opimistic about that. If you're procrastinating or unhappy with the result Maybe try publishing several versions of the book 3? See which 1 we like most? If there are several to choose from and choosing is a bitch?
Maybe try using some parallel world plot vehicles? If you can't really make up your mind on the direction of the plot? View 2 comments. Feb 28, Robin Bridge Four marked it as to-read. Look it has a cover.
Does this mean we will have a release date soon View all 49 comments. The year is I'm in my room, huddled underneath my blankets reading Doors of Stone. I haven't gotten up from my bed in hours, no bathroom breaks or snack times. Sleep and I have not seen each other in days. I'm dying to know why the series is called the Kingkiller Chronicles. Will Kvothe kill a king? How did Kvothe meet Bast? What's inside the Lackless box?
What will happen with the Cthaeh? Am I correct in guessing who Master Ash truly is? What happened to Denna? Just kidding, I don't care The year is Just kidding, I don't care about that bitch.

Oh, my sweet summer child Not SO, Patrick Rothfuss just released a blog post.
Not funny. At all. I think I'm close to the point where I lose all my nonexistent patience and give up on this one. I know. And, as an author HA! I did it! I published somehthing! I just gotta say: if you start a series, you gotta finish the goddamn series. People don't pay you for watching Kvothe while he finds out how to pay his studies, they're paying for the Chandrian.
Oh, and for Denna finally pissing off. View all 18 comments. Aug 08, Julio Genao marked it as to-read. View all 7 comments.
