Maybe Rothfuss should have named this book “A Slow Regard for Silent Things”.
Seems apt.

I mean, at this point he hasn't finished the book because he doesn't want to or can't. But, I rather wait ten more years or until he decides he WANTS to finish it than to have a half-assed finished book by next year. Take your time.

hi pat,
I would like to say I can understand the fear of failing. you are not a failure. you are amazing and incredible human being, and you gave me and many others so much through out the books - which I think is a part of the problem. please don't feel obligate to publish the book because the release date has passed. do it for you. do it for us - the fans who love you, and believe that anything you'll write will be a piece of gold (because it is).
thank you again, for all the glory and inspiration.
sincerely yours,
roni.

Please, I dont want another novella, nobody wants another novella. Its been over a decade, just give me an ending. I dont even care how well written it is. Get a ghost writer if the writing part is freaking you out, but for the love of everything its been 12 years and not even a release date when you said you were almost done 2014?? Just publish it

August 13th 2022, SHIT'S HITTING THE FAN, WOOOOOOOOO! https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/wdoiq2/in_december_readers_donated_over_700000_to/

So 2022 is just behind the corner and, basically, fuck this guy. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And, apparently, Rothfuss hasn't been working on book #3 for dogshite. Fuck, I'm laughing. Hard.

Check this shit out! https://www.newsweek.com/kingkiller-chronicle-editor-believes-author-hasnt-written-anything-years-1520812

"I think you are right," Wollheim responded. "I don't think he's written anything for six years."

Also, check out Amazon Germany trolling the neckbeard!

Well, fuck me senseless...you shitting me? I can't believe it.

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! THERE'S AN UPDATE!

https://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2018/04/rdd-morty/

«And by “this,” I mean there’s an official Rick and Morty Dungeons & Dragons crossover comic happening. And I’m writing it.»

So, once again, Rothfuss is doing fuck all but finishing book #3. Go figure.

According to what I read on fantasy-faction, DOS won't be released in 2015 either. 2016? Me arse. 2017 maybe. At this point, I'm giving up on Rothfuss altogether.

And, since I don't give a poo anymore, I'll just write down the right epilogue to "Doors of Stone" for ya'll to enjoy.

Sorry about the spoilers an'all but, as I stated, I don't give a flying squirrel's chuff anymore.

So here we go.

"DOORS OF STONE" in less than two minutes!

Kvothe goes on a furnication-rampage and proceeds to have sexual intercourses with just about everything walking on two legs. Only he's not exactly Nacho Vidal so, when he eventually ends up between Denna's thighs, go figure, she's not one bit happy with his poor performance and calls him a twat, a limp weenie, a sissy, and a useless fucking bastard cunting yobbo. At that point, Kvothe is forced to come clean and reveals he's made up all the Felurian shite he bragged about in the second book. Denna goes "Oh really? I don't give a shit anyway. Now twat off you fuck... I mean... ah, whatever.", becomes a raging lesbian, and opens her own butch-hotel in Tarbean (The Carpetmunching Unicorn). Kvothe, realizing he's nothing but a worthless pile of vermin ordure, considers suicide but, eventually, changes his mind because he's chickenshit and full of his own shite. So he becomes a waiter, and finds out he actually likes the job as it gives him plenty of time to annoy every bastard customer with his made-up drivel. Only nobody buys his bullcrap for a minute... until, one day, Chronicler shows up and, go figure! Not only does he believe all the epic horse-bartering, he also writes down everything he's fed. The gullible idiot.

The end.

Edit - According to amazon, the book has a release date: August 17th 2017. Oh, 896 pages. Six years and five months after TWMF. I'm not pulling this out of my ar... err... making this up, and it's not April 1st either. See for yourselves: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Untitled-Rothfuss-Kingkiller-Chronicle-Book/dp/0575081449 I know I'll end up buying the book, eventually. I also know it'll be the last book I'll ever read by this author.
Never.
Fucking.
Again.
Period.

Edit #2 - There is no release date. https://youtu.be/dW8efme5eSU <--- Skip to 2:01:05 & 2:03:06 and hear for yourselves. Book 3 is going to come out "later" because of.... wait for it... DONALD TRUMP.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Alright, this bloke is taking the piss out of us; either that or he's fucking delusional. It's not that he's a lazy author doing fuck all but finishing the book, it's the politics of his country keeping him from finishing the bastard. Right, you twats, now you know who's to blame: DONALD FUCKING TRUMP. That's who's behind Patrick Rothfuss's writer's block.

Fuck off.

Meanwhile, in Germany...

I’ve been waiting for this book for 10 years and I have finally given up... I’ve typed in searching for the release date every month for TEN YEARS. I’ve also reread the books every year for TEN YEARS so that if he released the third I’d remember everything... so this is me asking for ANYONE, literally ANYONE, to just write an ending to this. I will buy it from you and I’m sure others would too. I just want some sort of conclusion but at this point I don’t even care if it comes from Pat. Thank you in advance.

Why does this unpublished book have so many 5 star ratings? I think it’s only fair I rate it too, maybe if a bunch of us angry ex-fans unite we can even this ridiculousness out. Or not. I’m just salty honestly. 9 years???? 9 fucking years??? I was okay after the 5 year mark... even the 7th. I have finally lost my patience though. This book is never coming out.




At this point I’m positive Rothfuss chickened out. He waited too long because he wanted to give us something good but now with every year that passes by he’s afraid he won’t meet our expectations. Fear of failure is a horrible thing fellas. Serves him right though, he did this to himself.
And yes, this ain’t speculation, this is FACTS. I know, believe me, I saw it with my fourth eye. Drew a pineapple on the floor, poured milk over it and lit 3 candles. Saw it all.





Anyways
Thanks God we have Sanderson
