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?!?
Cobblestone steps sat crooked and disheveled along the path. I wondered how merchants ever managed to take their wagons this way.
I was guiding the ranchers daughter back home. She couldn’t have been older than ten. “How much further?”, she questioned. “Shouldn’t be more than another mile or so.” I was taking her to a friend of mine, a safe haven. Someone to look after her. She had gotten lost after guardsmen attacked her family’s fields. Her father hadn’t been home and she barely escaped the fire. I found her later that night, crying on the side of the road. Her entire family was missing.
I must have been distracted, there was a shrill sound nearby.. almost like something sharp was dropped. A sword scratching the ground. I was probably just paranoid... it had been a long day. “It doesn't make sense... why would guardsmen burn your fields?”, I exclaimed. She didn't answer for a moment. “...I don’t know. They used to be friendly and helped us anytime they were around. But.. something changed awhile ago. Their armor looked bruised and battered, they started demanding payment for our protection.” “It’s almost as if-“, she was cut off suddenly.
Turning around, I saw a knife held to her throat.

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
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
Gonna have to listen again for as soon as I heard, 'Silence of three parts' part, I did that nervous excitement laughter thing all the way through...
Same!!!! Goosebumps everywhere
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
So does this mean that its almost ready to be published
@@leahstevens2501 means he's written the first page
@@leahstevens2501 no. It means he's only begun writing it. Wait another 10 years and we might get a chapter out of him.
His first book made me fall in love with reading and the second book just strengthened it. I pray for book 3 soon. The world needs it
Same here. I Never loved any book before this series
Can't believe this was 2 years ago now, hopefully he finds some motivation and love for writing again.
Ive been waiting so long im crying just from hearing page 1.
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.
My heart almost literally stopped when he did that lol
Doesn't have the same feeling for me when it's been a decade in the making. It feels sad, and I certainly hope this wasn't his first attempt.
Exactly this
Are you sure it is a biography??? Hehehehe
Pretty sure it's done on purpose. And him taking forever to finish writing a book only makes sense, to me
My blood was pulsing listening to him read. Beautiful.
I honestly hope it was, man. Means you're healthy and well 😅
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 was thinking the same thing. Rereading WOT on book 5 now
Friend, he doesn't really need an encouragement about taking time. really :)
@@mattwylie6651 what is WOT? I'm very curious if it's a book series because I definitely want in.
@@DeamImpirius He is talking about Wheel of Time series
@@DeamImpirius dont lad
My life is on pause until I finish this video
Same
Same
@@clifftaylor3295 I’ve already typed out every word and printed it. Lol
@@lovelyzen223 Pats writing is the bomb
Was waiting for this, unable to catch it live. Thanks for uploading!
If there had been sequels... but no, of course there were no sequels, and so the silence remained.
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 ❤
just finnsihed 2... how much longer *crying*
11 years and the man has finally completed the prologue
And he throws it away xD
@@ItsWhiteFang 😂
And he hadn't to do much for it. You realise, that the prologue in all the books are always nearly the same? Nearly word by word?
@@Dunie11 exactly
Another 150years and his grandchildren MIGHT release the full book
The fourth silence is the release date.
I usually ignore the impatient comments but this was hilarious
Lol you win 🤣
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!!!
I just requested a refund for book 1 and 2 on audible. Will re-purchase after 3 is released. IF book 3 gets released. It's like paying for a 3 course meal at a great restaurant--but dessert is held back. 11 years later you get a postcard from the restaurant with a picture of a pie.
Love all of your work. Thank you for everything you do. Keep up the great work!
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.
@@Dunie11 the ability to speak does not make you intelligent
@@quikheet Woah ok calm down. I just hope that this isn't alle he did write in the last years, because I love the first two books.
Just like the rest of Pats's writing, this was even better the second time I heard it.
it took 10 years to write that page. this book is going to be a masterpiece.
and the third!
I can't wait to play gta6, and read this book
If I live that long
This series always ignites my love of reading, even in my deepest depression. I have never read more beautifully written books :’)
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.
999 pages to go.
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.
Why wait? Just put pen to paper! Better to do it badly (at first) than not at all :)
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
@@self-righteousideologue9398 Damn was excited but its horror and I don't handle horror well (unless its comedy-horror :/)
@@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. 🙃
In case anyone's wondering, the reading starts at 2:00.
Wait, what??!!! Stop everything, this is getting real
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 💖
That's awesome!!!! One of my favorite lines, too. I love recommending that book!
Hey! That's amazing! You do your job an incredible place! Keep doing!
A person at a bookstore recommended these books to me a little over a month ago and I am so so happy to have read them
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 ✨✨🤞
Your writing is exquisite. That's what makes this eternal task of waiting for the 3rd book in your series a bit much.
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.
By slow are you referring to the pacing or the release date? I'm a bit confused sorry
@@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.
@@ovidiunicolaetuca9312 100% agree. Sadly true genius takes time but it's so worth it
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!! 🙏🏻💫🙏🏻🙌
I love how I found Pat from Crit Role and loved his characters then only to discover his books!!
i think thats how i found him and kvothe too. sometimes i feel like the king killer chronicles just fell into my life.
That's so cool!
Is there a chandelier in the building?
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!
Bwhaha, I just did the same thing and then came down here to comments. Too funny. You're not alone.
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!
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
Thank you for uploading this! The hype is real!
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.
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 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
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.
Gracias por subirlo!!! Por favor, cuando lea el primer capitulo subilo también!!
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.
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.
I can't believe this!!!
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.
love seeing you this relaxed, happy, and excited about your writing - we all are too :)
HOLY FUCK!!!!!! This had me almost crying damn I love his writing, he is SO freaking good at it! Here's to hoping we get Doors of Stone in 2022
this prologue was probably made in 2012 ;)
And the book will be released in 2032 :)
@@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.
Ну в 2022 не вийшла)
@@vlaDick--Чувак, я вже задовбався чекати, де бляха ці двері з каменю😡
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
So exciting! Can't wait for the book! Congratulations on reaching your goal for children. Thank you!❤
Title should be: Pat Rothfuss Reads the whole Doors of Stone-manuscript he has written so far...
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.
Chills. I'm excited for more whenever it comes!
So excited for him! Amazing work! That prose - ugh, to die for. Just so good!!!!!!
Thanks Pat! Very excited to see what you've done with book 3!
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.
Not half bad? It was perfect! Beautiful. Brilliant. Thank you for blessing my life with this. I can’t wait for book 3! Thanks :)
Absolute chills hearing you read that, Pat!
Pat!!! How I have missed your writing!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!! Omg all kinds of things just from this!!!!!
Reading or listening to the prologue always give me shivering, love that, thanks !
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.
Bro. Its almost exactly the same as The Wise Man's Fear epilogue. It only changes a few of those ultra-intricate descriptors Pat likes. WHAT THE HECK!
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.
I had rolling chills the entire time you read the prologue and my eyes started to moisten near the end. I can't wait to read it!!! But I will. 😮💨
Thank you for all that you've given us, Patrick!
Appreciate that you're talking the time to do things right. I'll wait ten years if I have to. Because, brother, you've done it all so very right so far... Also so does Nick Podehl, so please keep him a part of this magical experience! Thank you so much for your stories. Simply wonderful 👍👍
I'm super excited about the 3rd book, glad you took you're time to do things right.
Thinking about you, Rothfuss. Hope you had a good day!
Thank you, Sir! Your stories and storytelling are such a beautiful blessing!
Can not wait for this book!!! No pressure, just excited!!
Peace and wholeness fam
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.
HYPE
Is Kvothe's true name in the box, and Kote being stuck inside the Inn is a parallel to being trapped in a box of his own creation?
Loved it. Love your work sir, it's literally had an effect on my life❤️
Really waiting for book 3 in Argentina! My family and I love your writing !!!
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
Just found this gem on YT. I fell in love with book 1 when he describes chronicler finding himself inside a story for the first time.
Anyone else get shivers when he said "prologue"?
My all time favorite storyteller! Love your work Pat.
I've come back to listen again. The imagery quietens my thoughts. 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.
I never knew how much I wanted this, until he started reading the prologue!
Enjoyed listening to the prologue, Thank you!
Bravo and thank you! Can't wait for this! 🧘♂️
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.
2:05 is when he starts reading
Thank you, Pat!
As much as I hate waiting......I appreciate how much time you are giving this book. Thank you so much.
Good for us and good for you. So excited to hear that cut-flower sound once more!
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.
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.
His books were my first dip into fantasy reading. A year and a dozen books later, I can't wait for this next book!!
Thank you, I really appreciate your work.
I'm literally crying tears I've grown up with this series and I've been waiting for years for this book
Prepare to wait even longer!
Stumbled across this after midnight when I should be asleep to get up for work, worth it
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 am SO EXCITED! Hearing that excerpt got me silently screaming with excitement!!!! But hearing Kvothe described as very hurt makes me me so sad.... Hearing this, I'm not surprised at all that it's taking him so long to write the book! And I'm super fascinated by the idea of Kvothe himself designing the inn!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Didn’t think he’d do it. Congrats keep up the work
Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
His prose is just amazing. He could describe paint drying on the wall and pull you right into that room happy to give it all your attention... 🤌
this is why it takes this man so long, beautiful
