[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 7728920, member: 6669048"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90826[/ATTACH] More seriously, it's the third part of a trilogy that has a lot of unanswered questions and overlapping plot threads that have been deeply foreshadowed. There's a lot of Chekov's guns to be fired in this thing, and to do it in an unsatisfying way would make the first two books lessened by it. Not to mention that Rothfuss is known for his poetic writing style. This means they take a while. I've got about ten million words of failed novels and screenplays sitting on my hard drive that proves it's less about writing and more about re-writing.
