I was disappointed at first, but after reading this version I have to say I prefer it over a mass market paperback. (which they also had in stock). At this point I am still trying to decide weather or not I should allow myself to hunt down a hardcover version as well...

My original copy has been read and re-read so many times that it’s fallen apart beyond all hope of re-reading in sequence. Every now and again I pick up one of the pieces and read a little.

I write better after a good hit of it.

Didn't see anyone mention that the choice of reader can utterly ruin a good book. A good example is the guy reading the Robert Jordan series. It was unbearble. I tried EOTW several times, in different circumstances to see if I could ever become used to the weird speech pattern but... nope.

He's not McDonalds, he's not Mills & Boons. He's a normal guy with a life. Do any of you complainers seriously think YOU could write a trilogy like the one Pat is devising as soon as you demand it? I think not. A testament to time and patience can be found in Lord of the Rings, one of the greatest fantasy epics of all time. Tolkien took over ten years to finish to finish the whole thing, and if you include the Hobbit, it's even longer still. Perhaps there are writers out there in the world who can devote every minute of every day to what they are creating, but not every person can. Good things take time, as the saying goes. Be patient and when the goods are delivered they will be all the sweeter. A good story is not a bottle of milk, there is no sell-by date. It will not get lumpy or taste sour or turn into bad cheese. You might, perhaps, if you churn your selves into fits over it though... You don't want to be a bad cheese do you? I think my point is made.

A good book is worth the wait, and no one would benefit from a novel that has been rushed to a finish. There is nothing worse than having a beloved series come to a disappointing end. I say take all the time you need Pat; we all know it is going to be worth the wait.

You are a talented writer and the series holds promise but you will lose your readers' attention if you don't produce. Look what happened to Robert Jordan (may he rest in peace) but I have read his books since #5 'cuz he took took long and there was not a lot of action. No blogger acct#.

My mom told me to go to the library and pick out a book and stop being an uncultured douche nozzle. So I walked into the library and was immediately overwhelmed with the countless amount of books staring me down. I made my way to Science fiction section cause I'm a fucking nerd who likes video games and role playing and i thought to myself "hey if i was a book this is where i would hang out". I searched for the better part of an hour and got completely frustrated. All the sudden i pulled out the biggest book on the shelf "The name of the Wind". What the hell was this monster of a book. I read the inside sleeve and had to hide behind the book shelf for about fifteen minutes due to the raging hard on that accord. (you really should put a warning on that thing) I have taken up way to much time but i just wanted to let you know that my fingers found it impossible to put your book down. I read it in about 5 days. Thank you for being so bad ass and I'm sorry for my dirty mouth lol. Keep being EPIC Pat i just wanted to say thank you for your epic fucking mind! i hadn’t read a book sense somewhere around 5th grade.
