I listened to this book via Audible; it was 43 hours long. About 13 hours in, I was surprised that I had already listened for so long. I consoled myself with the 30 hours I had left, since 13 hours wasnāt even half of what I had left. It would take me forever to finish this, right? By the time I had hit 22 hours, I felt taken by surprise. I was halfway done? Really? But still, I had so many more hours of listening. 22 hours is almost an entire day, and surely that would feel like forever. At 35 five hours, I started to feel concerned. I wasnāt ready for this to be over. I didnāt know if I could handle it.
About five hours from the end of the book, I started freaking out. Then, I started writing this review. I felt compelled to shout my love for the Kingkiller Chronicles from the rooftops, with an obsession I havenāt felt since I made Harry Potter fan sites on Angelfire so many years ago. Iāve fallen in love with Rothfussās entire world, so I consider myself intensely biased. I know the flaws are there, and I could tell you what they are, but the truth is that I donāt care. Iām enamored and I make no apologies.
Now Iām done, and I donāt know what to do with my life. I kind of feel like Kvothe, whenever Deena skips town. He just wanders around, looking for her, not finding her anywhere. And now, Iām just going to wander around bookstores, not seeing the third book and being sad. And I donāt even have a lute to keep me occupied.
Is it time for a re-read already?
