„the name of the windit came out in 2007,” Rothfuss began in this last part of the conversation. "Now it's 2017." That means... 10th Anniversary Edition! "IIt gives us a chance […] to put some cool stuff in there,” he explained, to tweak the text and fix any errors or inconsistencies, and add at least 20 illustrations and other cool extras.

Is there a release date for Volume 3? No:
I would share if I had.
The same audiobook narrators.the name of the windmiThe fear of the wiseit will be used for book 3 if possible.
How do you feel about writing Book 3 today (compared to two years ago when you jokingly rated it 3.5 stars out of 5 on Goodreads)?
It's a star and a half max because I took a big part apart and didn't put it back together.
Rothfuss also stated that his writing process differs greatly from other authors, as he works through the story in a fluid and piecemeal fashion, often deconstructing and rebuilding it until it makes sense over time. It's also why he can't post a "Full Percentage" like Sanderson does.
Where does the name "Edema Ruh" come from?
Like most of the names in the book, I made it up. It comes from my head. I make it up. Sorry, that's not a satisfying answer!
(Ruh means "soul" in Turkish, hence the question of its possible origin.)
Lyndon Hardy's 1980 romanceMaster of the Five Magicshas a system of magic similar to the Kingkiller Chronicle, in case readers are looking for more along those lines: a system inspired by hermetic magic, the Doctrine of Signatures, natural scientists, and Newton's alchemical beliefs.
Describe book 3 in one word:
CALVO.
(Video) The Kingkiller Chronicle Book 3 Has A Release Date??And then I let Aslan's quote follow: "I'll call everyone soon."
book 3 willNobe longer thanThe fear of the wise.
Will book 3 be the last in the series?
Yes and no. Book 3 closes this story arc. Book 3 will not be the last book set in this world. Big distinction there!
But will it fix everything?
Think of a series that ended. Think of The Lord of the Rings, which has a pretty solid ending - was it all over at the end of the third Lord of the Rings book? no This happens in every realistic world, in every realistic story with realistic characters. There was a good ending to this book, but what happened to Aragorn and Minas Tirith now that he had returned? […] And what about Sam and his children? What really happened to the Greyhavens? Has Frodo recovered from this? What did Gandalf discuss with Tom Bombadil? There are a lot of unanswered questions: yes, that's the mark of a good story, so I won't answer them all, but you really don't want to. You may think you want it, but you don't. And even if you really do, I still won't. Just because it's impossible.
Will Book 3 make readers cry?
Depends if you're just a screamer. But I hope to hit you with emotional force; this is my job.

What is your biggest fear about the release of Book 3?
I'm not that afraid of Book 3 coming out. I'm really looking forward to Book 3 coming out. Any apprehensions I have about the book's release are extremely metatextual and ephemeral. Because I work until I'm sure the book is the best I can do and my fear of publishing a book, the effect is, isn't it like they like it? because I wasn't going to release it unless I was sure it was the best thing I could do and that people would like it. My concern is what is the biggest impact my book will have on the world and on the minds of the people who take the time to read it. Am I making a positive contribution to the general collective consciousness of the world's people? I'm worried about that.
He always knew that book 3 would be calledthe stone gates?
I didn't always know what the third book would be called.the stone gates, but when I considered it a title, I realized that it was the best title. Betsy wasn't convinced at first and I even agreed not to talk about it publicly, but it had already been published in a few places and people kept sharing it, and by general consensus it has now become the de facto title of the book.
How are books divided into TV series and movies?
This is a big question that I can't discuss publicly.
Does it influence the cast?
Maybe a little, but only a little. There is a good reason for this; It's like he's not a casting director. What he would do is [say]: “I love Nathan Fillion!” But that's not climbing, it's just liking an actor. It shouldn't work like that. I am very involved in the production of the film and the television series. I've been to LA twice this month to sit in writers' rooms and meet people and talk to people and talk to people and meet people. And it was actually fun. I was a little scared of this process, but I really liked it. It won't always be as fun because there will be times when I'm disappointed or have to give in, but so far it's been wonderful.

Would he have a cameo?
Maybe he could act up a bit. They could put me in the background or something. But in terms of casting, it should be Manet or Stanchion.
How does Lin-Manuel Miranda contribute to the music of the film and television adaptations?
You couldn't ask for a more incredible musical person, musical talent than Lin-Manuel Miranda. And the fact is, no matter what song is played in the movie or the TV series, there will be some people who will say, "I never imagined that!" That's the downside of any movie or TV show: it won't be exactly what you envisioned. For that reason, I suggest everyone prepare to do what I'm doing and say in my head, “This is like B-canon; this is an interpretation.” That's why I can see a hundred images of Kvothe fan art and like them all, even if they are not the same. […] They don't have to be perfect and they don't have to be what I have in mind to look good.
I couldn't be more excited to have Lin as part of the team, both creatively, story-wise, and as a musical collaborator. […] As much as you want! I literally told him, “There is no degree to which you can be involved in this project that is too much for me. Please, come with all your desire and be part of it”.
Rap Battle: Kvothe vs. Alexander Hamilton. Who would win?
fictional Hamilton [i.e., Miranda'sHamilton] would hit Kvothe. The real Hamilton would lose.
