Yeah, something bad must have happened between Denna and Kvothe somewhere in the story, which is why Denna and Kvothe are not together in the present....do you think Denna may not be alive? I know that Kvothe's story will continue into the third book. In the second book I have a feeling that there will be more present day narrative than the first, and his story will finish around the middle of the third book. Then the second half of the third book could be all present day narrative. What do you think?

Yeah, I was intrigued by Denna too. If I remember correctly, there were some hints in the book that her past could somehow have been related to the Chandrian. Because nothing was mentioned about her family, I have got a feeling that they must have been victim of a Chandrian onslaught, similar to Kvothe. Or maybe Denna is a member of the Chandrian....that would be bizarre.

Yeah, I completely understand, and I've been in the same situation a few times. But for me, I kinda like being in those scenarios. Yeah, of course its frustrating when you have to wait for years to unravel whatever mysteries of the series you're reading, but, and call me sad, I like the feeling when you DO get to the end of a series that lasted the time span of an eon. It feels like you've completed an epic journey, and it feels just that much more epic.(Again, call me sad) But, anyway, steering slightly back on track of the topic I posted above, does anyone want to start discussing the book...?

Yeah I definitely think it was worth buying. You could be waiting for some time though; apparently its taken, or will have taken, 5 years for the second book to be released after the first one. Cannot begin to fathom how long it will take the third and final one to be released.

Yeah, definitely, I look forward to it. Just let me know when you are done re-reading it, I'm just glad that someone has replied to my post! I'll probably have to skim through the book since I need a bit of memory rejogging too!

Hi, just finished reading "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss, book one of the KingKiller Chronicles Series. Having been completely absorbed into the story, I was devasted to find that the next book "The Wise Man's Fear" won't be coming out till March 2011! This means we all have to wait for 10 more months to begin finding out some answers to the powerful riddles left by the first book. This is something that kinda annoys me! (Although I understand I don't have it as bad as those that read this book 2-3 years ago!) So, I was wondering if any of you, who have finished this book, would like to discuss it a bit. What do you think will happen in the next book? Any opinions about the nature/history of the Chandrian? What do you all make of Denna's past? Do you think her past is related to the Chandrian in any way? If you have any questions of your own to pose, please feel free to do so. PS. If you haven't worked it out already, do not read ahead if you have not read/finished reading The Name of Wind, lest you spoil the ending of the book for yourself!
