Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or why not?
I'm defiantly going to read more books by Patrick Rothfuss. First of all, I love his style, and really enjoyed this book. Second, though this book is over, the story of Kvothe is far from over. Rothfuss, ended the story with Kvothe saying that was enough of that part of the story, that he could move on with the story now that he'd said that base. But it's yet known how he's expelled from the University, or why. We don't yet know what happens to Denna, or why Kvothe is an innkeeper waiting to die.
What was one of your favorite lines in what you read today?
"The man had true-red hair, red as flame. His eyes were dark and distant, and he moved with the weary calm that comes from knowing many things.
The Waystone was his, just as the third silence was his. This was appropriate, as was the greatest silence of the three, wrapping the others inside itself. It was deep and wide as autumn's ending. It was heavy as a great river-smooth stone. It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man waiting to die."
These are the last two paragraphs in the book, written in the Epilogue. They describe Kvothe, sitting in chair by his room, thinking. They explain at the same time that though Bast has said the story telling has made his master more lively brought his old self back, too much remains the same. Though you've heard at least 5 years of Kvothes life, in the book, only days have past. I like it because it's the exact same paragraph that is at the end of the Prologue, but the meaning is so different. Well, the meaning actually stays the same, but the way you interpret it is different. It makes you think. Maybe no matter what, your future stays the same.
