I forgot how good his prose is. I’m not usually taken by that kind of thing. I read a lot of books with dragons and spaceships on the cover, but his similes and metaphors are so elegant and concise that every time they come up, I think, ‘Goddamn, I wish I could describe something one-tenth as well as that.’ I haven’t finished yet, but it’s also a fun story about how a fae keeps themselves occupied in the mortal world while they’re supposed to be laying low

I JUST WANT HIM TO FREAKING WRITE ***DOORS OF STONE***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t want to die of old age before he finished Kvothe’s story!!!!!!!!! And it’s getting closer every day…
Not reading any more of his work. His writing has become profoundly mediocre after expanding the kind of stuff I read now. Good when you’re 14, then you realize how utterly mediocre his prose is.
Cash grab. He’s a GRRM clone at this point.
Agreed. His prose is always gorgeous. To me, there’s so much emotion but it’s never cloying or saccharine.
