      Write 75% of a book where the only thing that happens is a teenage boy describes his sexual prowess with a faerie goddess using terms like “tongue twister of the five winds” or some such bullshit.

        Rothfuss has unironically stated that he’s had trouble with the third book because he’s matured too much to write that shit again lol

        I personally didn’t mind it in an unreliable narrator/mythic ballad kind of way but a lot of the problems it has is that it sure seems like it would require a literal interpretation to make the plot threads connect in the end.
