Dude.. Really? Lol same shit, different title. Great job trying to kiss his ass. Even with the money he made from doing this, he won't use that material and won't write the book. There are rumors coming from within his family ties that mention he is not interested in finishing it, but just milking every opportunity he can. I can stand behind it cuz I have heard it from his inner circle directly
Can't wait! Writing fantasy inspired from it now... what else can I do?!? Cobblestone steps sat crooked and disheveled along the path.

he specifically says the inn was DESIGNED by Kvothe...right after talking about copper locks and grey stones. I'm pretty sure this man has a masterplan behind it all.
It will serve as a binding jail for the Chandrian or some other enemy he has made. Hes been planting info here and there in the world that only the knowledgeble enough can get, to chart his location. ..or not lol.
That and the fact that he knows (at least at some point before the narrations starts) the name of Copper+Stone, im pretty sure the walls are made of that materials
Don’t forget the “brass threads” tying everything together. I don’t think that was a metaphor I think that was physically something bounding the “silence” together
@@brasilogiatrivial8656 this would make a lot of sense considering he name dropped the Chandrian to chronicler. Maybe he is killing two birds with one stone by telling his story and baiting the 7 into his inn
At this point the overhype has died been buries dug up too be studied then buried then dug up to be burned then dug up to be consumed then we get the 1st fkn page and I'm supposed to care lmaao. Nah. Already said all set with this one
I didn't realize how much i missed the Silence of Three Parts. Keep refining and tempering your tale. It will be a tool to forge memories for the ages. i'm gonna have to go re-read the first two books when i finish WOT.
I love how he crumpled up and tossed the hard copy of the Prologue. I can almost picture Kvothe doing the same with his first attempts at the biography.
The thing I love most about Patricks writing is how much attention he gives to small detailes and actions that are not necessarily important for the plot. Like many writers just seem to be wanting to get to the exciting part and everything happens for a reason to get the plot going. In the Kingkiller chronicles however everything, even the non plot-related actions and deep character and relationship building are cautiously taken care of, which account for deep and multifaceted characters and makes every part of the story, every single sentence a joy to read. I love his way of writing and his way with words that makes you savour every single piece you read. So I understand why book 3 is taking him so long, great work takes great time. Keep going!!!
That first page gave me shivers. Your writing has always been a huge inspiration for me, maybe someday I will try my hand at storytelling. Very excited to read book three once it is ready.
I was going to say the same. It seems silly but this reminded me how beautiful his writting is and how much his style feels like perfect poetry and nostalgia. 20 seconds in and I'm crying. Cannot wait.
I probably shouldn't be advertising another author on this channel, but if you want to read a series of books that has very similar writing to Pat, check out the Monstrumologist series by Rick Yancey. To this day, I still feel it has the greatest prose out of any book I ever read. For real, check them out. Whenever I get in a discussion about prose I always mention Pat, and the Monstrumologist series by Rick Yancey. If you have audible I recommend the audiobooks, as the narrator does a great job. EDIT: The second book in the series, the Curse of the Wendigo, probably has the best prose out of the 4 books. It's supposedly a YA series, but it is pretty dark and gory. Especially the last book. So don't let that stop you
@@EsquilaxM- I'd give it a shot. It's a good read. The characters are extremely well written, and like I said, it's up there for best prose I've read. But it's your call, of course. 🙃
I’ve made a late arrival to this universe and I think I’m somewhat grateful for my tardiness. If I’d read this back in 2011 only to wait 11 years to get to today with no part three… all I can say is I hope it’s close ❤
To me, Patrick's books are the best ones ever written. I got chills and tears just hearing Pat read it. Amazing work. Incredibly slow... but the best work one could ever hope for.
@@juliall255 I am referring to the pace at which he is writing (the writing itself is flawless, pacing and all). I often compare him to Robin Hobb as I feel she often gets close to his level of quality, but at a much faster rate of writing. Yet still, no matter how slow, it is worth the wait in the end.
I've been so excited to hear anything from book 3. And then he started reading the prologue and I stopped the video. From the first 20ish seconds of reading I remembered just how beautifully pats work is and frankly I want to preserve it until I can wring it for every drop of love he's put into it. I can't wait to get my hands on this!
Aaand then you remember this is nearly the same prologue as in the other 2 books before. It sounds nice, yes. Maybe because it's 95% of the prologues that came before 😂
Im so friggin stoked to watch and listen to this! Thank you for this Patrick! As a loyal fan it is greatly appreciated. Take your time and make the book your way!
I've been reading and re-reading your books every year, just started reading again and somehow RUclips knew to add this to my recommends. There is no other fantasy that makes my imagination swirl like these books, even though i know the steps and high points already, it is like returning to a favorite spot to take another tiny taste of your favorite food. Thank You.
I started listening to these books while I was playing World of Warcraft one day, it was 1 in the morning and RUclips threw me a bootleg upload of name of the wind. I listened for probably 5 hours the first night and then the next day at my manufacturing job I subscribed to audible and bought the book. Its been months now but I've re-listened to both books 4 or 5 times and I love every bit of them, my headphones never come off when I'm at work. Thanks Mr. Rothfuss and the crazy RUclips algorithm.
The Q&A was incredible and that reading… holy guacamole it transported me into a different dimension. I kinda forgot where I was after listening. Amazing.
I sell books in a bookstore (and am an author myself), and several times a week I recommend Pat's books with passionate joy. Sometimes I open NOTW and read some customer that line about "the cut-flower sound of a man waiting to die" and if they don't immediately love it, I know I have nothing to recommend for them as we have vastly different taste. Love this writing to my very core 💖
As a man that worked in a bookstore and lived that life, I could never recommend pats book , I love his work but the way he has treated his fans. Yeah fuck no, I boycotted his books from our store and found other authors to recommend. Also 10 years and we haven't even got a sniff about its progress? That's lazy if you ask me.
@@Bgh583 Your loss 🤷♀️. Also, I suggest either researching the average time it takes to write an epic length novel, or write one yourself, before you get too self righteous about Pat's process ✨✨🤞
Thankyou for sharing with us. I am waiting with baited breath for book three, although my favorite words of yours that i have had the pleasure of reading are those where you talk of your boys in The Narrow Road Between Desires, the authors endnote. As a parent, I resonated with it. As a reader, I have AMPLE grace to wait for you to give the world the Doors of Stone that you deserve to release.
I mean the way he talks about book 3 and all of his plans makes me think he is writing something and or has a good amount done. People are a bit rabid for book 3 but it’s the capstone to the world he built, I understand how hard it is to be happy with the final touches. Honestly anything he writes I’m happy about regardless if it’s kingkiller or not. Man’s got a gift for writing sentences that sound phenomenal and paint such nice pictures
@@nilricci4835 I think you're right. I mean it's 95% the same as the prologues before, sooo let's hope he didn't just change some words in all these years.
The cadence was off? The cadence was OFF? Pat's prose is easily one of the best I've ever read. His word choice and lyricism is just a joy to read, and its sad to hear him being so hard on himself. That said, it's also probably why he's so damn good at writing.
I know, this absolutely blew my mind when he said it... I watched the stream and started crying when he was reading it... my god his cadence was amazing. I would be afraid and excited to hear what a good cadence would sound like to him.
Thank you so much for sharing the prologue with us! It's really great to hear you read out loud. I'm obsessed with the first two books and I'm so excited to read the third book! Keep up the great work. :) I'm a very very happy fan.
Damnit Pat... how is it that you keep me caring... Keep doing you man. Creativity can't be rushed. I've been disappointed that the third book hasn't been published, but that is a me problem... Hope you enjoy your process and your own writing. That is a reward in itself. Your prose is beautiful. Thank you for taking the time.
I found NoTW while on duty way back when it first came out. I stayed up 2 days to read it. I have rea-read several times since then. While I am frustrated about the wait I do understand. I too can be patient as a stone.
Dear Patrick, I'm a fan from the beginning. Got your books in english and german as I'm from Austria and I hold them and your story dear. You've woven so many strands of characters into such a rich and colourful world I couldn't help but fall in love with it. What struck a cold fear into my heart when I finished the second book was my inability to see how you could bring the story to an end with only one book left to go. It wouldn't be the first time a triology became a quadrilogy and was the better of it (looking at you Christopher Paolini). It would be a shame if your beautiful story would end up forced into a quick end and those strands clipped off too soon just to be able to deliver the "whole" story in - only - a third book. Maybe it takes some of the pressure off of your back, when you have time to finish your story in four or maybe five books? Love and all the best, Roland
That was awesome. Takes me back to when I had never heard of Name of the wind and I picked it up in a book store and read the prologue and had to buy it then and there. Thanks for that and even more for raising money for hungry kids, you’re awesome.
Your reading of the first page gave me goosebumps. I’m patiently waiting to read the rest of the book. I love your response regarding themes in the novel. I gave up studying literature because I disliked analysing the author’s intent. I always felt that the author’s intention was to write a good story and it was pointless trying to assign a deeper meaning to their words.
Thank you for reading the prologue. Congratulations on achieving your goal!!! Those kids in need will certainly benefit from this great cause!! Thank you for what you do
it was a silence of 3 parts, the third silence was the silence of the third book not being released. The most obvious part was a vast echoing quiet made by things that were lacking.
Rereading/listening to the books for the third time. Hard to tell who your target audience is, but you've got my 36yr old self enraptured. Your descriptions bring sight and sound and scent together quite remarkably. Top tier characters intoxicate like top shelf bottles. Thank you for sharing Kvothe with us.
I honestly don’t care how long it takes him to finish the book. It was so much fun to read, so intricate, and the variety of words that he chooses make almost every page fun, or gripping, or interesting. I am not a huge fan of the way he wrote Denna, but at one point, Denna says something to K like “I’m lucky if I even get to spend a few minutes with you.” And that’s how I feel. I am so lucky to get to own Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear. I have both books in Portuguese, and I just enjoyed the heck out of them. Even the choice of paper and the texture of the covers is just brilliant. You can’t rush something like that, and even if he never finishes the series, I will glad that I got to spend even a few minutes with his words. Thank you Mr. Rothfuss!
I have tears in my eyes, instantly transported back into the world of this series. This is so beautiful Pat and it was so good to hear the first page read for the first time in your voice!! Thank you for sharing!! 🙏🏻💫🙏🏻🙌
Patrick, you're a genius! Please take as much time as needed so we can have the book you've been dreaming about and working towards for the past few decades... When it comes, it'll be worth the wait!
Jeez it’s been so long I forget almost everything that happened in the first 2 books lol. Soon as we are a couple months away from a release date I’ll have to re-read them
That's what I'm thinking, but I'm also not holding my breath. Been almost 10 years. It seems He's trying to hold out for TV show/ movie deals before he gives us anything.
@@PirateNikki damn that kind of makes sense lol. From this video it feels like he is really trying to perfect it so it could still be a long time but hopefully he is almost done
This is something completely new. But it takes me back. I read Name of the Wind as a freshman in high school, and this still calls back to then for me. I've missed his writing.
I just want to know if Haliax shaped his own name, if Selitos shaped his name or simply saw the truth. Or if Lyra did it when she called him back, by changing and shaping his nature or elsewhere.
You think maybe Selitos just saw the truth (his power of vision...) and that Cinder was the one that betrayed Myr Tariniel? Maybe a subjet of Selitos that went rogue? That could explain that he became the Cthae and he says that Cinder tricked him in the past
@@Manuel66880 I don't think so, imo I think Bast can be trusted when he says Haliax talked to the Chthay Before it burned, and to what purpose does Selitos if he is the Cthay have if Bast is right and the Chthay leads only to tragedy. What's more Haliax says to Cinder "Who protects you from the Amyr, The Singers, The Sithe?" I believe the Chthay predates the fall of Myr and that the chandreon or at least Haliax and Cinder have.
@@ChekkoVisban Maybe all the chandrean wisited Chateau one and they kind of gathered together. What if Lanre gathers those who talked with Chateau in one band... And Kvothe is one of them now, but refused to join Lanre?
When I seen him crumple it up and throw it over his shoulder, I had an image in my head where the camera panned out and there lay the entire book crumpled in a pile. For some reason I don’t find that to be too far off. If only someone would uncrumple the pages and put them into the correct order we would have the book. I’m all for taking your time to make it the best book as possible but I think he’s being way too over critical and doesn’t like 1 single page, paragraph or maybe even a sentence anymore. We all believe in you Pat and know you will deliver a great book but there just has to be a point where you click send and put it into the world. We will love you no matter what. You can never make everyone happy no matter how hard you try. Sometimes you just have to hit send and get out of our head and know ot was right to do…… I hope that makes sense somewhat and wasn’t completely nonsensical.
Ooo good job! Very very good job. Damn your a good writer. I could literally listen to you tell stories for days. I read book #2 for 12 hours straight at one point.
I wish I could write as well as Patrick. I just write the story out, but my words never approach art. I wish he hadn't crumpled up the prologue. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Him wadding up that paper and discarding it was as profound as the whisper of the wind, or the first sight of a child. It spoke volumes about his interest in his own work.
One sentence from the prologue and I instantly remembered why I fell in love with his books. Simply brilliant.
Tako je🙌
So simple yet so beautiful
"the flower-cut sound of a man who is waiting to die.", that got me hooked
Dude.. Really? Lol same shit, different title. Great job trying to kiss his ass. Even with the money he made from doing this, he won't use that material and won't write the book. There are rumors coming from within his family ties that mention he is not interested in finishing it, but just milking every opportunity he can. I can stand behind it cuz I have heard it from his inner circle directly
Can't wait! Writing fantasy inspired from it now... what else can I do?!?

Can't believe this was 2 years ago now, hopefully he finds some motivation and love for writing again.
he specifically says the inn was DESIGNED by Kvothe...right after talking about copper locks and grey stones. I'm pretty sure this man has a masterplan behind it all.
It will serve as a binding jail for the Chandrian or some other enemy he has made. Hes been planting info here and there in the world that only the knowledgeble enough can get, to chart his location. ..or not lol.
THE DOORS OF STONE ARE UNDERNEATH THE INN!!
That and the fact that he knows (at least at some point before the narrations starts) the name of Copper+Stone, im pretty sure the walls are made of that materials

Pretty sure it's done on purpose. And him taking forever to finish writing a book only makes sense, to me

The thing I love most about Patricks writing is how much attention he gives to small detailes and actions that are not necessarily important for the plot.

This series always ignites my love of reading, even in my deepest depression. I have never read more beautifully written books :’)
Absolute perfection, things like this remind me why it takes so long to write a masterpiece
Definitely worth the wait! I’m gonna reread the books to refresh! I hope to someday meet in person my favorite Author!!
Don't speak too soon. Book 2 was heavily criticized because the level decreased a bit. Let's see if these 10 years were worth the waiting
And you do realise, that this prologue is nearly the same as the prologue in the first book? So he didn't change much.

The cadence was off? The cadence was OFF? Pat's prose is easily one of the best I've ever read. His word choice and lyricism is just a joy to read, and its sad to hear him being so hard on himself. That said, it's also probably why he's so damn good at writing.
I know, this absolutely blew my mind when he said it... I watched the stream and started crying when he was reading it... my god his cadence was amazing. I would be afraid and excited to hear what a good cadence would sound like to him.
It was pretty good. I can see what he was getting at, it could be tightened. He has such an amazing way of setting a scene and his standards are high.
Oh my god, when he said that my initial thought was "no WONDER it's taking so long if he thought THAT was off!!!" the man is a perfectionist lol
You always hear people who couldn't write a menu at a burger joint criticizing the best writing of this century.
It is an amazing amazing and poetic peace because Pat is an amazing writer
As much as I hate waiting......I appreciate how much time you are giving this book. Thank you so much.
If there had been sequels... but no, of course there were no sequels, and so the silence remained.
Wait, what??!!! Stop everything, this is getting real
Can not wait for this book!!! No pressure, just excited!!
Peace and wholeness fam
Hey pat, hope you are doing well...i love your books and am eagerly looking forward the doors of stone
YES! Finally something's rollin'! That's the good stuff.
Thank you so much for sharing the prologue with us! It's really great to hear you read out loud. I'm obsessed with the first two books and I'm so excited to read the third book! Keep up the great work. :) I'm a very very happy fan.
Chills. I'm excited for more whenever it comes!
Damnit Pat... how is it that you keep me caring...
Keep doing you man. Creativity can't be rushed.
I've been disappointed that the third book hasn't been published, but that is a me problem... Hope you enjoy your process and your own writing. That is a reward in itself.
Your prose is beautiful. Thank you for taking the time.
I've come back to listen again. The imagery quietens my thoughts. Thank you
Absolute chills hearing you read that, Pat!
I found NoTW while on duty way back when it first came out. I stayed up 2 days to read it. I have rea-read several times since then. While I am frustrated about the wait I do understand. I too can be patient as a stone.
Really waiting for book 3 in Argentina! My family and I love your writing !!!
I can't believe this!!!
This is huge. I love your writing, man. You have inspired me to begin writing my own story and I cannot wait to read the third book.
Dear Patrick, I'm a fan from the beginning. Got your books in english and german as I'm from Austria and I hold them and your story dear. You've woven so many strands of characters into such a rich and colourful world I couldn't help but fall in love with it. What struck a cold fear into my heart when I finished the second book was my inability to see how you could bring the story to an end with only one book left to go. It wouldn't be the first time a triology became a quadrilogy and was the better of it (looking at you Christopher Paolini). It would be a shame if your beautiful story would end up forced into a quick end and those strands clipped off too soon just to be able to deliver the "whole" story in - only - a third book. Maybe it takes some of the pressure off of your back, when you have time to finish your story in four or maybe five books? Love and all the best, Roland
this is why it takes this man so long, beautiful
I never knew how much I wanted this, until he started reading the prologue!
Not half bad? It was perfect! Beautiful. Brilliant. Thank you for blessing my life with this. I can’t wait for book 3! Thanks :)
That was awesome. Takes me back to when I had never heard of Name of the wind and I picked it up in a book store and read the prologue and had to buy it then and there.
Thanks for that and even more for raising money for hungry kids, you’re awesome.
Oh Pat! You are a gift to humanity. Thank you!
Elodin is Taborlin and he is known as Remmen in the fae, and he is Bast's father, he already met with Auri. That makes sense.
Love the first 2 books! Absolutely fire
Thinking about you, Rothfuss. Hope you had a good day!
This prologue is very similar to The Name of the Wind?
Thank you so much for this! And thank you for the wonderful charity work! This wager has been super fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your reading of the first page gave me goosebumps. I’m patiently waiting to read the rest of the book. I love your response regarding themes in the novel. I gave up studying literature because I disliked analysing the author’s intent. I always felt that the author’s intention was to write a good story and it was pointless trying to assign a deeper meaning to their words.
Thank you for reading the prologue. Congratulations on achieving your goal!!! Those kids in need will certainly benefit from this great cause!! Thank you for what you do
it was a silence of 3 parts, the third silence was the silence of the third book not being released. The most obvious part was a vast echoing quiet made by things that were lacking.
Rereading/listening to the books for the third time. Hard to tell who your target audience is, but you've got my 36yr old self enraptured.
Your descriptions bring sight and sound and scent together quite remarkably. Top tier characters intoxicate like top shelf bottles. Thank you for sharing Kvothe with us.
When I read TNOTW I was middle aged. Now I’m over 60. The Who sang ‘hope I die before I get old’.
I hope the third book comes out before I die.
I honestly don’t care how long it takes him to finish the book. It was so much fun to read, so intricate, and the variety of words that he chooses make almost every page fun, or gripping, or interesting. I am not a huge fan of the way he wrote Denna, but at one point, Denna says something to K like “I’m lucky if I even get to spend a few minutes with you.” And that’s how I feel. I am so lucky to get to own Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear. I have both books in Portuguese, and I just enjoyed the heck out of them. Even the choice of paper and the texture of the covers is just brilliant. You can’t rush something like that, and even if he never finishes the series, I will glad that I got to spend even a few minutes with his words. Thank you Mr. Rothfuss!
I closed my eyes and just drifted. Amazing. I cannot wait.
I have tears in my eyes, instantly transported back into the world of this series. This is so beautiful Pat and it was so good to hear the first page read for the first time in your voice!! Thank you for sharing!! 🙏🏻💫🙏🏻🙌
everyone raging at him for the neglect immediately falls back in love - haha amazing. thank u!
Prologue Starts - 2:00
Doing god's work
U are a non cape hero
You’re stories helped me escape Prison for a moment every time I read it. 🥺 Thank you
Patrick, you're a genius! Please take as much time as needed so we can have the book you've been dreaming about and working towards for the past few decades... When it comes, it'll be worth the wait!
11 years is more than enough
@@EhudJonathan exactly. Too damn long. This book better be one of the best stories written by mankind...or else
Stumbled across this after midnight when I should be asleep to get up for work, worth it
The fourth silence is the release date.
I usually ignore the impatient comments but this was hilarious
Lol you win 🤣
oh my god I just reread book 2 and then had something sad happen in my life. This is exactly what I need. Thank you so much
Jeez it’s been so long I forget almost everything that happened in the first 2 books lol. Soon as we are a couple months away from a release date I’ll have to re-read them
That's what I'm thinking, but I'm also not holding my breath. Been almost 10 years.
It seems He's trying to hold out for TV show/ movie deals before he gives us anything.
@@PirateNikki damn that kind of makes sense lol. From this video it feels like he is really trying to perfect it so it could still be a long time but hopefully he is almost done
Watched it live and had to come back for seconds!!
So excited for him! Amazing work! That prose - ugh, to die for. Just so good!!!!!!
love seeing you this relaxed, happy, and excited about your writing - we all are too :)
This is something completely new. But it takes me back. I read Name of the Wind as a freshman in high school, and this still calls back to then for me. I've missed his writing.
Anyone else get shivers when he said "prologue"?
I just want to know if Haliax shaped his own name, if Selitos shaped his name or simply saw the truth. Or if Lyra did it when she called him back, by changing and shaping his nature or elsewhere.
You think maybe Selitos just saw the truth (his power of vision...) and that Cinder was the one that betrayed Myr Tariniel? Maybe a subjet of Selitos that went rogue? That could explain that he became the Cthae and he says that Cinder tricked him in the past
@@Manuel66880 I don't think so, imo I think Bast can be trusted when he says Haliax talked to the Chthay Before it burned, and to what purpose does Selitos if he is the Cthay have if Bast is right and the Chthay leads only to tragedy. What's more Haliax says to Cinder "Who protects you from the Amyr, The Singers, The Sithe?" I believe the Chthay predates the fall of Myr and that the chandreon or at least Haliax and Cinder have.
@@ChekkoVisban Maybe all the chandrean wisited Chateau one and they kind of gathered together. What if Lanre gathers those who talked with Chateau in one band... And Kvothe is one of them now, but refused to join Lanre?
@@alekseyvinogradov6728 Not to say too much, but I feel like Tehlu's story might have a bit more to do with it than that.
What ever you put out ,we will love it!!
Thanks Pat! Very excited to see what you've done with book 3!
Good for us and good for you. So excited to hear that cut-flower sound once more!
When I seen him crumple it up and throw it over his shoulder, I had an image in my head where the camera panned out and there lay the entire book crumpled in a pile. For some reason I don’t find that to be too far off. If only someone would uncrumple the pages and put them into the correct order we would have the book. I’m all for taking your time to make it the best book as possible but I think he’s being way too over critical and doesn’t like 1 single page, paragraph or maybe even a sentence anymore. We all believe in you Pat and know you will deliver a great book but there just has to be a point where you click send and put it into the world. We will love you no matter what. You can never make everyone happy no matter how hard you try. Sometimes you just have to hit send and get out of our head and know ot was right to do…… I hope that makes sense somewhat and wasn’t completely nonsensical.
Ooo good job! Very very good job. Damn your a good writer. I could literally listen to you tell stories for days. I read book #2 for 12 hours straight at one point.
So exciting! Can't wait for the book! Congratulations on reaching your goal for children. Thank you!❤
Anyone know if he mentions the release date or how far he’s gotten on writing the book in the livestream?
I wish I could write as well as Patrick. I just write the story out, but my words never approach art. I wish he hadn't crumpled up the prologue. Thank you for sharing this with us.
One year later Im here again. Someone tell me when is book 3 coming out?
I'm super excited about the 3rd book, glad you took you're time to do things right.
My all time favorite storyteller! Love your work Pat.
Thank you for all that you've given us, Patrick!
Didn’t think he’d do it. Congrats keep up the work
Him wadding up that paper and discarding it was as profound as the whisper of the wind, or the first sight of a child. It spoke volumes about his interest in his own work.
