The final book of the series is finished after so many years. Great timing for a reread. To my delightful surprise I did not recall how well written is this series. A visceral, full of savour and distinct colour and tone work that is standing somewhere between Song of Ice and Fire and Memory, Sorrow and Thorn in style but totally original. Totally original and nuanced. Dark but cosy. Addictive

There is this special triplet of female authors who write original, dark, yet cosy, traditional epic fantasy with beautiful prose, rich worlds, palpable atmosphere, and complex characters. Robin Hobb, Janny Wurts, and Kate Elliot. Authors who will appeal from Martin fans to William's and Donaldson's. JV Jones makes them a quartet but she also hits the sweetest spot story wise for my taste. Such a thrilling read!

Sol Is it actually coming out or is it Rothfuss "finished"?

She declared on her patreon page a couple of weeks ago that it is finally finished. I guess it needs to be published and hopefully she has some deal

Sol just gotta hope No-God comes out one of these days then...

I cannot imagine Bakker not working on it at all in his long hiatus

HRose/Abalieno Heh... not really. She finished the book that was expected like 10 years ago, but there's one left in the series. Unless something changed in the last two weeks.
