>Patrick Rothfuss’s bestselling contemporary fantasy trilogy The Kingkiller Chronicle is now in the works at the premium cable network with Lin-Manuel Miranda set as executive producer. The Hamilton Tony winner will compose music for the series as well. Writer-producer John Rogers (Leverage) will serve as showrunner.
>The series “will follow a pair of wandering performers on their adventures through the unique and startling world of Temerant, immersing audiences in a universe of unexpected heroes, mystical places, and terrifying dark forces.”
>The first season will be a “subversive origin story of legendary proportions set a generation before the events of the trilogy’s first novel, The Name of the Wind.”
>“Pat Rothruss’ Kingkiller series is some of the most exciting storytelling I have ever read,” Miranda said. “I could not be more thrilled to help bring the sights and sounds of his wondrous world of Temerant to the screen.”

Probably about kvothes parents.

Jeremiah Reed
The books went to shit in part 2 and 3 will likely never be finished because that fat fuck Rothfuss is too busy writing about his autistic kids. The series not being about Kvothe is actually good news, though I don't find the rest of the world interesting enough to warrant a series. At least this is probably a cheap series to adapt. Not very cgi heavy at all.

I was looking through my reaction folder but couldn't find a picture that adequately describes my disgust.

The series is material for a mediocre anime at best. >parents killed by ancient evil >MC swears revenge >is super clever >learns magic and how to fight >acquires harem including girls with every typical character archetype >???

>You maybe the one fucking Denna for money, stranger but I'm the one who is spiritually more close to her, we have real connection and convesations This is the biggest cuck self insert in history of fantasy books. Can't wait.
Carson Ramirez
I just don't get why he even wants to be with Denna. He gets pussy left and right and Denna is basically a better prostitute. Not to mention she's lying quite a lot.
Charles Brown
His books are shit

Are we about to be inundated with shitty GoT imitations? I like fantasy but I don't want an era of crownshit.

>tfw dropped the first book 80% in and heard it only gets worse only so much of descriptions one man can possibly take
John Clark
If you didn't notice he is the biggest white knight in the county, he thinks of her as his first love. That's it basically. Besides, they really didn't have time to talk after he returned from that ninja academy, where all females think that you don't need a man to get pregnant, maybe his attitude changed (it probably didn't). Anyway, I have a scalding feeling that he's going to pull out "unreliable narrator" in the last book, so none of this will matter.
Zachary Lee
but GoT is the reason we got Rome
Jacob Harris
Someone post the two pastas. You all know the ones I'm talking about.
Jose Brooks
I have about as much respect for The Kingkiller Chronicle as I do for the dogshit on my shoe. It is reddit. It is video game hotpocket. It is capeshit. It is cheeto dust. I'm literally screaming right now and slamming my arms down on my desk just thinking about it.
It is the most depraved video game infantilized manchild degeneracy. It is saturday morning cartoon. It is non-neurotypicality. It is memes. It is video game. It is tarantino. It is imdb.
Asher Roberts
Umm no you fucking cunt.
Elijah Collins
>It's a Patrick masturbates in your face via Kvothe and then says the unreliable narrator justifies it episode >without giving any meaningful indication that he's actually unreliable.
Chase Long
I doubt you can even finish the whole story in the last book. I mean he has to get his demon buddy, do all the other legendary stuff and probably defeat the big evil.
Ryder Gonzalez
Before I say anything lets establish something; fantasy as a genre is responsible for the worst books on earth and most of the fantasy "books" that are released each year are worse than internet fanfics.
Having said that, the name of the wind is actually good. I don't mean good for fantasy I mean it's good. So the fact that they are making a show out of it is good news.
Logan Cox
He's an unreliable narrator.
Samuel Jenkins
Game of Thrones is the reason we got Sopranos, deadwood and The Wire
Tyler Jones
Admit the first book was good you fucking edgelords hopefully they just use Book 1 and then let some decent writers take over
Jayden Lewis
Wasn't him getting memed by soldiers despite knowing superior pussy wing chun style kinda already a justification that he's bullshitting everyone and his "Oh, just rusty, guys," was damage control that both of them have seen through?
Hudson Sanders
Nah, that happened because Kvothe locked his name in the thrice-locked chest.
It's like you paid no attention.
Elijah Ward
He didn't use magic, didn't even attempt to use it, and he really never needed it when he was fighting. I literally mean that kung fu shit that he learned in Ademre. Wing chun is a women self defense style, or at least it was conceived as such.
Caleb Miller
>it's another episode of a fat bearded writer gets filthy rich of a bastardised tv series before ever finishing the actual books
Henry Barnes
Unreliable narrator works when there's internal inconsistency that a sharp reader can pick up, the narrator himself doesn't grasp the significance of certain events, or if the narrator is unstable in their telling. Rothfuss is not adept at writing any of those, and comes across as writing wish fulfillment but not having the guts to go all the way. A better example in the same genre would be the Dresden Files, where the narrator refuses to acknowledge the evident flaws in some of his friends, and the women get mysteriously sexier the longer he goes without getting laid.
Carson Young
>trilogy lel. gurm junior gonna cardiac arrest before he finishes it
Jack Bennett
>from the writer of Transformers (2006)! >aaaand Young Justice hmm. ambivalent. least we already know it's geared for YA audiences
Jackson Brooks
The demon apprentice basically confirms he's bullshitting hard when Kvothe says his love interest in the most beautiful in the world. He gets pissy when the demon tries to say she really wasn't all that beautiful.
Alexander Evans
You haven't heard? It's coming.

I'm glad books like Stormlight are getting more traction in fantasy. I'm fucking sick of the same edgy twats that think they're being original by making people unlikable, making the antagonist read the script, slapping on the term "genre subversion" and calling it a day
Justin Robinson
I've read some really putrid genre fiction, but this smug, overhyped mess is almost the only one that really makes me angry. You can practically hear Rothfuss fapping over his own smartness while "subverting tropes" in the most shallow way possible, and the whole internet fucking loves it.
What about the pedobait autist girl? IIRC he wrote some novella about her exclusively.
Bentley Peterson
tl;dr on stormlight
Justin Reed
Largest Kingdom in the setting is fighting some people that killed their former king. New king barely has control over the Lords, so the war is going nowhere. Meanwhile the King's sister is carrying out a mysterious work relating to their enemy. 3 main PoVs 1) Former soldier turned slave trying first to just survive, then trying to keep his team alive. 2) Lady of an impoverished house trying to suck up to the Princess and steal an artifact by trying to be their ward 3) The old King's brother trying to unite the kingdom and finally get the war over with, so they can go home and sort their fractured nation out.
Also has one off chapters in the interludes that show other things going on in the background.
Carson Murphy
So Kvothe is a bull shitting wifu lover?

I refuse to watch this and support patrick rothfuss, hes a lazy shit of an author. Hes disappointed fans for years, and i want to see the remains of his career burn when this series is inevitablly revealed to be trash that no one likes
Aaron Cox
Ah the classic GRRM maneuver. Make your shitty books into an even more shitty tv show before actually finishing your fucking books

>In high-school Pat was something of a class clown. His hobbies included reading a novel or two a day and giving relationship advice to all his friends despite the fact that he had never so much as kissed a girl. He also role-played and wrote terrible stories about elves. He was pretty much a geek. >For the next seven years Pat studied anthropology, philosophy, eastern religions, history, alchemy, parapsychology, literature, and writing. He studied six different martial arts, practiced improv comedy, learned how to pick locks, and became a skilled lover of women. He also began writing a satirical advice column which he continues to this day: The College Survivial Guide. Through all of this he continued to work on his novel. >Now Pat teaches half-time at his old school as an assistant-sub-lecturer. He is underpaid but generally left alone to do as he sees fit with his classes. He is advisor for the college feminists, the fencing club, and, oddly enough, a sorority. He still roll-plays occasionally, but now he does it in an extremely sophisticated, debonair way.
Bentley Turner
I can't wait for them to replace the red headed skinny main character with some nigger.
Colton Rivera
How as a writer, he couldn't see the amount of delusion and mental gymnastics that are oozing from this page alone, what the hell. Is this intentional?
Kayden Allen
the fuck is a thrice locked chest?
John White
This greentext sounds like it was written by Rothfuss about Rothfuss. >a skilled lover of women I doubt it. >he is underpaid You teach "half-time as an assistant sub-lecturer". How much do you expect a part-time assistant teacher to make?
Ethan Mitchell
You fucking pleb, he's just subverting the trope of the main character being even a bit of well-adjusted or relatable.
Nolan Wood
>like it was written by Rothfuss about Rothfuss Jesus motherfucking Christ, I think it was. It's on his Facebook and Goodreads profiles.
Cameron James
A chest Kvothe keeps in the inn where he's hiding under the name Kote.
The idea is that he locked his name there (Kvothe) to be able to become Kote.
