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.

  6. NotW 3: Child sing a song and play a game:
    • "When the hearthfire turns to blue,
      What to do? What to do?
      Run outside. Run and hide.

      "When his eyes are black as crow?
      Where to go? Where to go?
      Near and far. Here they are.

      See a man without a face?
      Move like ghosts from place to place.
      What's their plan? What's their plan?
      Chandrian. Chandrian.
