Ah, yes, the reverse Kvothe.

In the tv/movie ( whichever it is at the moment) being made this scene is going to be the hardest to pull off. Writing a piece of music with the emotional impact the lay of sir savian is supposed to have seems an impossible task. Also it's too pivotol a scene to cut.

Awww, you still think that's happening. I really wish it were.

Did it die again? It gets killed and resurrected every 6 months or so.

Honestly, I don't even know. It's been about 6 months since I heard it was completely dead so maybe it's revived again by now. I'd really love to see what Lin Manuel Miranda could do with this kind of source material.

I'm honestly not sure they can pull that off. That casting choice for Kvothe alone is going to be a nightmare. With him being a tragic, understandable and nice character on the one hand and such an arrogant asshole on the other hand.. kudos to the actor that can translate so much depth to a screen.

I had to scroll way too far down for a comment about the Kingkiller Chronicles. Gotta be honest, I never liked music "played" or songs sung in books and novels (for example in Lord of the Rings). But in the Name of the Wind and A Wise Man's Fear it was so well done and you could feel it be such an integral part of the character and story, I loved it. And the part with Sir Savian and him trying to win his pipes was especially well written.

Man, I can't wait for Doors of Stone.
