Never noticed it with Rothfuss *NM* Nighthawk Send a noteboard - 01/08/2014 06:27:28 PM

View original postEven Rothfuss is guilty of this. Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear both are riddled with comma splices.


View original postIt's stunning to me that a) a writer of his caliber (and he truly is an excellent writer, with a deft touch for prose and poetry) doesn't understand the use of semicolon, and b) that publishers are okay with releasing books with errors like that.

I know neither the book nor the author, so I don't know how bad it is. Nate - 01/08/2014 06:07:27 PM 916 Views
It's not a POV thing. That's how he writes. *NM* Nighthawk - 01/08/2014 06:26:50 PM 377 Views
