I don't think the satire works though. Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 12/07/2010 05:14:44 AM
You get to see Kvothe at his best, being the perfect hero, etc. And if that was all there was to it, it would indeed be boring. But at the same time you see the older and more mature Kvothe, who not only is no longer perfect, but seems very jaded, much weakened, and on the verge of death!

That's not number 2. If anything, Rothfuss is making fun of the concept by turning it around completely.


That might have been what Rothfuss was going for, but he played it straight for like 700 pages. That is waaaaay to long.
Insert theme music here.

To be fair, number 4 is a good motive in itself; it's just been overused. Tim - 13/07/2010 09:08:49 AM 694 Views
Tigana attests to that. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/07/2010 07:49:44 PM 290 Views
