General Note to my Gentle Readers:

This blog is dedicated to an indepth look at the first two books of The Kingkiller Chronicles: "The Name of the Wind" and "A Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss.


If you have not yet read these books, don't read this blog. It's that simple. I will spoil it. Let the books speak to you first, then come back here and see what you might have missed, or point out what I blindly failed to see. We will not hesitate to spoil from both books and with no warning. Except this one. So now you are warned.

Caesuras

  1. NotW 0: No music at the Waystone Inn.
  2. NotW 0: The silence of the third kind, the one that is more felt than heard and belongs to the unnamed man of true-red hair with dark and distant eyes to whom the Waystone Inn belongs.
  3. NotW 1: The jarring gap of obvious time between the night of the prologue and the night of chapter one.
  4. NotW 1: Later in the chapter the gap between Kote burning the Scrael with an iron shim and Kote closing up.
  5. NotW 1: Not obvious at first, but Denna is absent from the frame.
  6. NotW 3: "For the first time in a long while there was no silence in the Waystone Inn. Or if there was, it was too faint to be noticed, or too well hidden."
