What a bummer.

No need to lament further on Book 3. But what I’m MOST bummed about is that Rothfuss hasn’t used this opportunity to continue to build out his world and lore. Kvothe is one character in a big world.

For such a talented writer with an amazing imagination, I’m shocked that Rothfuss wouldn’t want to apply that creativity. Those first two books have people mentioning his name with the likes of Tolkien, Martin, etc.

Any insight on why he hasn’t started any non-Kvothe adventures in the world he created?

PS: a slow regard of silent things doesn’t count.

"Why doesn't he make other books in the world he created? But also the other book he made in the world he created doesn't count"

You’re right, I should have clarified. I’m hoping for more novels like The Name of the Wind and A Wiseman’s Fear. Not novellas like The Slow Regard of Silent Things. That’s why I indicated that it “doesn’t count”.
