i read like 8 of them lmao, they get dope, but i was also like 16 at the time. re-reading them now they feel completely different and almost darker, and since i've read them before, i am skimming through alot of boring descriptions about nonsense that adds nothing to the story.

after rothfuss and martin tho reading "classic fantasy" like this, is very, very difficult because it all feels cliche, smalltown people on adventures, prophecies, chosen one!!!

but yea kvothe is that dude, i got the "rogues" anthology, edited by george rr martin and it has a short story in it written by rothfuss about bast. its interesting. its a day in the life of bast. kvothe is in it, its at their inn, but i think its before the chronicler shows up, but it gives some insight into bast.

martin also has a story in it, but its written like a history. like if you lived in westeros and picked up a history book, its like reading THAT. so i havent read it yet, its about a targaryen tho who started a war, go figure.

i read a few pages of abercrombies short story in it, and his writing was different but i kind of dug it. it made me want to give his books a try again.

have you read the farseer books? by robin hobb, the "assassin" trilogy or whatever. i remember those being really good as well.
