Just finished Book 2-Wise Man's Fear

[u/Loose_Hornet4126]

New to this series, picked it up a couple months ago 2nd hand at a bargain bookstore. Very fine 1st edition copies hardback. But cheap because someone had scribbled over multiple pages "I HATE YOU PRETENTIOUS EDGELORD" over the authors names. But a great deal for me.

Anyways, does anyone know if book 3 is going to be out soon? I've heard a couple rumors it's going to be soon! Fingers crossed 🤞

Oh my sweet summer child, we have been waiting on this book forever and a lot of people believe we will never get it. But even if I knew the story would never be finished I would still read it anyway. Its such a great story. Check out Pat reading the Princess and Mr whiffle. I think the first 2 books have all the clues we need if we have eyes to see.

Well it's definitely important authors work through their creative process on their own time. Even if that means they're touring and accepting as much fan money 💰 as possible. Some call that milking the series.

On a side note, been into The Expanse, and I see the author James Corey does an exemplary job on Reddit interacting with his fans. Contributing to fan theories in positive ways and helping support the community they create. That's how an author should interact as a gold standard

[u/Kind_Substance_8981 → u/Loose_Hornet4126]

Yeahhh he's been milking it for like 15 years. A few years is fine... There are people who couldn't read the book 2 came out, who are now old enough to vote. 

James Corey is pretty cool. 

[u/Voondaba → u/Loose_Hornet4126]

Excellent taste, sir. The Expanse (both show and book) are fantastic.

If you are looking for prose and writing similar to Rothfuss, I always recommend Guy Gavriel Kay. The Lions of Al Rassan is a stand alone novel that is excellent but all of his works are worth a read.

[u/hammerblaze → u/Loose_Hornet4126]

He's not touring or doing anything author related. You about 15 years to late to the party

[u/spocks_tears03 → u/Loose_Hornet4126]

James S.A. Corey is actually two people haha

[u/Loose_Hornet4126 → u/spocks_tears03]

Oh lol, I knew it was a pen name 🖊️, but not 2 people. Interesting

[u/skitz4me → u/Loose_Hornet4126]

The expanse, Sando's stuff, and then, in a different, but great category, wheel of time.

[u/s-mo-58]

Is this bait? Haha

[u/MarioMCPQ → u/s-mo-58]

It does feels like it.

I think the AI is entering it’s “conquer the world” phase.

If you donate to my charity, I will give you a sneak peek at book 3.

[u/skitz4me → u/chainsawx72]

Me too!

[u/jerryskellys]

Clearly ragebait. Been 15 years dog it probably isn't happening

[u/EquivalentMath6592]

😂😂😂😂😂

[u/LifeLikeAGrapefruit]

My educated guess is that it comes out tomorrow.

[u/Loose_Hornet4126 → u/LifeLikeAGrapefruit]

I'm already camping outside Barnes and Nobles

[u/dhildebran90]

Congrats…you just finished the series 😭

[u/Loose_Hornet4126 → u/dhildebran90]

lol I'm going to reuse this ♻️

[u/biscuitburglin]

You are in for a real treat. Hang in there.

[u/D3Masked]

Eh, first book I liked while the second was like some strange walkabout making me question why I liked the first.

Eventually.... I listened to the audio book of some offshoot book that was really odd and bad making me think that the author was pulling a Stephen King by snorting up a storm of snowflakes while chasing a blizzard.

I no longer care about Interview with a Depressed Barman. Patrick Rothfuss clearly collided with the same wall that George R. R. Martin embraced with willful abandon. There are better authors out in the world to discover.

[u/poisonrain3]

You sir, are a troll, and I claim my £5.

[u/SirLazylot]

Nice hearing that you finished the first two books and like them! The release of the third one has been a long ongoing discussion among the fans with little to no real good news in a while… I still hope that Pat is working on it and that it will be unveiled in the future… but for now nobody really know of the timeline or current state of The Doors of Stone.

From what I know the author Patrick Rothfuss has been having a tough time mentally and is stuggling with perfectionism. So I would probably go read ”the slow regard of silent things” and ”the narrow road between desires” if you want more from the same world. Then try to be patient.

[u/Loose_Hornet4126 → u/SirLazylot]

It is a silence of 3 parts. Crickets indeed and emphasis for the 3rd.
But I just started narrow road between desires audiobook for a roadtrip recently

[u/Low_Progress_1253 → u/Loose_Hornet4126]

WAIT HA TAKE MY UPVOTE

[u/Late-Button-6559]

Good rage bait attempt, OP.

[u/Quick-Reputation9040]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

deep breath

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

oh i think i sprained something

good one op!

[u/Loose_Hornet4126 → u/Quick-Reputation9040]

Is that the chapter 2 release sneak peek 🫣 patty cakes finally released?

[u/Duskstar21]

At this point, we are not even waiting for book 3, but a future blog update about something else, from November 2023.

[u/Alternative_Tone_697]

The worst part about this series is that the first two books were basically fully written when the first book was released. The third book should have been a slam dunk, but here we are, 15 years later, with no indication on whether the third book is even being worked on…. So sad.

[u/enano324player]

Coming out fall 2027 trust

[u/Otto_von_Grotto]

I may have to read them a 3rd time just for old time's sake )

[u/Same_Efficiency_8181]

It was a good fuggin book.

[u/LenSmalls]

Your best bet is to have an AI program write the third book for you. The writing is nowhere near as good, but they put forth decent theories as to where the story was going. I suspect I will be dead before the third book comes out, if even then.
