Yeah and he apparently today he announced that he was going to break his writing hiatus by writing some filler D&D crossover with Rick and Morty (had to check it wasn't an April Fools joke). Apparently not. Rothfuss really is writing what is the most hilarious middle finger ever.

And not even a fucking book, but a fucking comic.

DoS is clearly going to get delayed for the rest of eternity and return right in time for Kvothe 'I Fucked a Sex Goddess For 99% Of The Book As Filler'.

Don't waste your time with the second book. WMF has a shit reputation for a reason. Name kind of strings you along with the promise it might get good, but WMF has zero plot and zero pacing.

The only thing that can redeem this series is a return to the Chandrian mystery and it's not going to happen.

There aren't that many good books, though, you might enjoy Lord of Light if you haven't already read that.

pros: It has based De Soya who is a fucking amazing character. Worldbuilding is also top notch, Mare Infinitus is one of the comfiest and most scenic places in scifi. The Archangel class ships are fucking awesome and high concept.
cons: De Soya is a fantastic character stuck in a shit fanfic tier plot who gets sidelined. The new original characters Raul and Aenea are shit tier and it's like Simmons is jacking off to the idea of his new OCs having a tour of the world, meeting his older characters and retrospectively shitting it up with cheesy all your powers combined trope and nothing is scary anymore. Plus two of his characters is out of character as a fuck which ruins the mood quite a bit. Aenea is the stock animu messiah loli type, the plot unfolds as expected.

Good compared to other books by other authors, but Simmons should be ashamed of how much retarded characterwank he shoved into those two atrocious characters. That hack Simmons turned the fucking Shrike into a taxi, jesus on a pogostick

I'm currently finishing up Emerald Eyes by Daniel Keys Moran. It's very enjoyable in a weirdly pseudo-pulpy way because there are a huge amount of scifantastical things that happen, even though the centre of the story is around telepaths, a staple of scifi (I'm looking at you, Gundam, Star Wars, Foundation, Hyperion ... and a fuggtonne of other stories). Lots of things happen. I think it could have used more description, like PKD's stuff the page count is ridiculously tiny.
