[QUOTE="cavetroll, post: 8551588, member: 7034721"] This reminded me of the Kingkiller Chronicle, clearly made up since there is no ending. What tickles me pink is that Goodreads lets people write a review of the 3rd book which is has not come out, probably will never come out and so you get beautiful reviews like this: Dear Pat, I don’t want to sound impatient but I can’t help but wonder when you’re finally going to grace us with your last book. You see, I’m a sucker for statistics and I did my math so I thought about a lot of things you might be interested in. (The results were pretty alarming and I’m fairly certain you might be inclined to agree with me. XD) So without further ado I’m going to give you a few reasons to publish [B]“Doors of Stone”[/B] a little sooner: 1.) [B]“The Name of the Wind”[/B] was first published on March 27, 2007 so that means that it’s been 13 and a half years since the first book of your trilogy was released. 2.) A 15 year old teen who read it when it hit the stores would be around 28 years old by now. Just two more years and she/he’s been waiting half of his life for the end of your series. (Quite an achievement, I’ll give you that. ;-P) 3.) When “The Name of the Wind” was published you were 34 years old. (I have to trust Wikipedia on that one, hope it’s correct, I know in some cases age can be quite a touchy subject. ;-P You seem to have an awesome humour though, so I guess you won’t hold it against me, right?) 4.) Anyway, you were 34 years old when the first book got out, you were four years older when [B]“The Wise Man’s Fear”[/B] hit the stores. So 38. The release date was March 1, 2011. Double the years and we have eight years which would mean “Doors of Stone” should get out in March 2019? Wouldn’t that be a nice marketing strategy? At least that way no one could claim you’re not consistent. ;-) [B]Update 2019-07-13:[/B] Okay, new theory since March 2019 has passed and the book wasn't released: What about adding 7 years after "The Slow Regard of Silent Things?" It got out in October 2014, so about 3 years after [B]"The Wise Man's Fear"[/B] and [B]"The Name of the Wind"[/B] got out in 2007 so four years before that. Which makes 7 in total, so that would mean October 2014 plus 7 years is October 2021? XD 5.) So I was 19 when [B]“The Kingkiller Chronicle”[/B] started, I’m 32 now. You were 34 when it started, you’re 47 now. I think it’s safe to say that both of us won’t get any younger. (If you can prove me otherwise please write me a message and share your knowledge.
