The Wise Man's Fear

But there is a massive shadow hanging over this data.

The series has been completely stalled at two books since the sequel, The Wise Man's Fear, was published in 2011.

2011.

I mean, in the accelerated timeline of modern publishing, a decade and a half is an eternity.

The first book, The Name of the Wind, was released in 2007.

The second, The Wise Man's Fear, came out in 2011.

And since then, silence on the main narrative front.

Over a decade of waiting for book three.

Exactly.

Then the second book, The Wise Man's Fear, came out in 2011, and this is where the math just hits you like a freight train.

Yeah.

It's brutal.

No, we're talking about real life happening.

Exactly.

We are talking about the complete biological and cultural evolution of a fandom Think about someone who picked up The Wise Man's Fear in their high school library back in 2011.

Oh, wow.

Um, but I was told the audiobooks are really good, and there's a lot of them, so I started those because I don't actually have that much stuff that I wanna listen to right now.

Um, oh, and I just finished, uh, the, right before the Bobiverse book, I finished the Bobiverse book in like a day, and right before that I finished, um, "The Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss, which is in the, "The Name of the Wind" series, which "The Name of the Wind" and "The Wise Man's Fear," I think of them as one book, and combined they are probably my favorite book.

Yeah.

Um, I've tried three other series that I haven't finished that I've just kinda been going through, and I've been kinda so-so on, on them.

Yeah.

And I probably won't get to it for a while because right now we're in the middle of Patrick Rothfuss's The Wise Man's Fear, which has been, I can't tell you how long it's taken.

To get to that point.

But when we're done with that, or he might have, he might have my wife read this one, because they tend to read shorter books.
