The man boasted about having all 3 installments written. He tore apart GRRM for his untimely book releases. He's all over Twitter and comic con. He's everywhere. But home writing. We have officially hit 10 years waiting for the conclusion to the kingkiller chronicles. I do not follow the author anymore. He's proven to be both rude and arrogant. Which I could let go...if he actually wrote. Am I alone in this? #hater #notafan #wheresourending
thegirlwiththelibrarybag This is a a series that I feel I'd love but I'm also wary of series that have no end date... oh for authors that release every year or two like clockwork! I'm not on twitter but rudeness would rub me up the wrong way too... 8y
LazyLibrary @thegirlwiththelibrarybag He is actually very rude, I'm surprised he has any fans left. The first book was great, the second so-so. Maybe the third bombed and he got stuck in a corner? I picked up the series 10 years ago bc of the promised release dates. It was his main selling point after all! Now I'm hearing the whisper of a TV series??? No! Nope! No way! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag It's definitely a series that is highly spoken of... maybe the hype got to him? I've heard of the tv show too... only because I follow Lin Manuel Miranda on fb (I think his tweets also post on fb?) and he mentioned it awhile back. I often don't like knowing too much about authors/actors - if they're awful in real life it can spoil ones enjoyment of their work... 8y

annkuch13 He spends a lot of his time working on charity. A lot of his time is also spent with his two little boys. He's said that he doesn't want to miss them growing up because of the pressures of writing. Still sucks to wait though. 8y
annkuch13 He's also talks about mental health a lot and has some issues that make it really hard to consider something a finished product. He's obsessive about revisions and editing. Though I think he's in the editing phase of book 3 finally so there's hope haha 8y
LazyLibrary @annkuch13 Totally understand OCD and anxiety. Especially with art and writing. But he boasted about his completed works. Bragged how he wouldn't have to deal with the pressures of writing. Criticized other authors for taking too long. And unfortunately created an expectation with his fans. Which is what stuck with readers. It definitely stuck with me. 10 years!!!! Had it not been advertised as completed, I know I wouldn't feel the same. 8y
LazyLibrary I was 23 when I read book 1...23! I don't think the same or feel the same. Now it's 10 years later, I don't remember the book at all, and I see him everywhere!!! I feel like if we added all his tweets together it would equal book 3 by now! we all have different levels of patience and I think I'm just reaching mine 😂but I did good! I got through 7 seasons of pretty little liars, so that should tell you I have the patience of a saint! 8y
annkuch13 @LazyLibrary Lol yes that is 7 intense seasons of patience haha! 8y
Ke633 #same 🙄 FINISH IT!! 😞 truly enjoyed the first two but I'm starting to doubt he'll ever give us a 3rd. 8y
