It feels so melancholy to finish this book and know we’ll never find out the end of these characters. Even if the final book were written, and it had a tragic ending, it would feel different (better?) than the story dying before it’s time.
I enjoyed this book a lot, although a couple parts of Kvothe’s adventures seemed a bit out-of-the-blue and poorly built? Idk how to explain it, but they seemed unrealistic, which is silly to say for a fantasy novel lol I suppose there are plenty of people in the book who also thought some of Kvothe’s adventures were unrealistic as well, so I’m in good company
