I can't live laugh love in these conditions, Patrick

“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them, too. That is rare and pure and perfect.” ― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear // Mysterious Lotus Casebook

As I work on my dress for graduation atm I've been listening to the audio book of 'Name of the Wind' and am struck again by how different audio books are to experience vs reading.

When I tell you I have read Name of the Wind and Wise Man's fear at least five times each, I am not exaggerating. I have read these books once a year every year since I was introduced to them at 15(ish). But I listened to the audio book for the first time last year and it is a WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE!!

Before I didn't really care for Wise Man's Fear as much and I found Denna to grate on my nerves. But listening to the books, I've absorbed so much more, I like Denna now, Wise Man's Fear is just as good as Name of the Wind, I could not pick a favourite. It's completely changed my perception of the books. I've also picked up on a lot of Rothfuss' repeated language - like Kvothe repeats a lot about how he though the current bad thing he was going through was the worst it could get, and then apologising to the reader because he was young and stupid and didn't know how much worse things would get.

Anyway listen to the audiobook

In order to have a valley, there must be a mountain on either side... get up and try again.

I finally own both, "The Name of the Wind" and "Wise Man's Fear" .... Now when is Patrick Rothfuss going to get that third book to us!?!

Kvothe when saying goodbye to Dedan, Hespe and Marten so he could accompany Tempi to Haert, and instructing them to report to the Maer:

Kvothe: While I'm gone, Dedan, you're in charge.

Dedan: Hell yeah!

Kvothe whispering to Marten: Marten, you are secretly in charge.

Marten: Obviously.

No one:

Kvothe:

Half of seeming clever is keeping your mouth shut at the right times.

You know why we're not having The doors Of Stone? Because The Waystone Inn lays in a silence of three parts, AND THE THIRD PART IS THE DEEPEST AND HEAVIEST PART.

The Kingkiller Chronicle Character Cards

Ambrose | Kvothe

For my husband's birthday this year, I decided to make character cards for five characters from his favorite book series, The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss.

Today, we have Kvothe, the MMC of KKC. He's probably out losing his lute or running out of money for the 800th time somehow. Maybe he lost Denna again. Who knows? His hair is on point though, and he can crack a mean tune.

Thanks for the character card inspiration to the absolutely gorgeous, talented, and amazing @velidewrites whose character cards (and all art, frankly) you should totally go gawk over, especially if you love ACOTAR.
