Spoiler: AFFC prologue/epilogue

The alchemist shares the exact same description of Jaqen H'ghar. Pate is killed by Jaqen with a poisoned coin (something to remember when reading book five btw) who then presumably uses the identity of Pate for some yet unknown agenda

.

OMG

I did not pick up on this. Thanks TB. I just finished book 5 too but didn't make the connection.

I am starting to see the need for editing in FFC.

Yeah, my biggest complaint. I love these books but I think the need for a better editor goes all the way back to Game of Thrones.

For sure but it increases a lot in FFC. So many excerpts of random people and how they are related and their sigil etc. So. Many.

What gets me is the description of the feasts. I mean, he spends pages and pages on the food. I get it already. You know what else I get? It's cold in the North.

EVERY FREAKING MORNING.

 

[bojanglefunk]

Lots of niggardly people too.

Sounds like it's just me, but I have never had a problem reading any of that stuff or wanted him to edit parts out. Guess I am just into the way he creates the atmosphere.

The real issue: book 6/7 needs to come out. Like yesterday.

Just finished Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear.

I liked both, but The Wise Man's Fear did absolutely nothing to clear up some of the questions that were raised in book one.

There's still one more day (book three) of storytelling

You could completely remove book 2 and go on to book 3 and be fine with the storyline.

 

[AttilatheHoo]

enjoyed Wise Man's Fear. like his writing style.

Then you'd be all like "where'd he get these skillz?!" and "I wish there were more forest sex in this"

Finally got around to finishing A Dance with Dragons. I enjoyed it, but it did feel like a lot of running in place. Not a whole lot happened

How am I going to wait another 5 years for the next book.
