You guys, Rothfuss is such a tease <3

I shouldn't have started with the teaser. Must. Have. More. Daaaaamn!

Interesting. Though I hope he isn't doing something inappropriate. Can't wait!

Bast? Inappropriate?

According to whose Rules of Appropriate Deportment? :D

Bast is an especially favorite of mine. When a great friend of mine had her second child, a boy, I knew right away I would always call him Bast, and as he's grown it definitely fits � the Faen Bast, especially.

Hey guys, I don't wish to read the entire collection, since I only know ASOIF and Kingkiller Chronicles.

Is there a way to get those two stories only?

Not sure of a way to get the stories separately, but there are some really excellent stories in Rogues. I've added 3 authors to my must read list, and I'm pretty well read in this genre.

Could you mention those authors?

Joe Abercrombie is a great writer I enjoyed his The First Law Trilogy

I've heard good things about Scott Lynch but haven't read him myself...I'm waiting until the series is complete as i'm waiting on a few series to finish and don't want to start one that isn't finished despite the immense peer pressure and assurrance that they read like stand alone novels

and of course Neil Gaiman is in there too

I'm not sure they can be purchased separately, but I've enjoyed what I've managed to read of the collection.

It actually worked out perfect for me since I just read Neverwhere and then I was searching around to see if Gaiman had anymore London Below novels, and turned out he'd wrote about the Marquis in Rogues. So I had to go pull my copy and read that LOL.

I noticed something interesting that I need to point out! On page 748 in "The Lightning Tree" Rothfuss writes: "Get five or six," Bast said. "It's getting cold at night. Winter's coming." The innkeeper smiled "I'm sure Martin will be flattered"

Ok, so I think this is Rothfuss making a clever nod at George R. R. Martin, who happens to have his own short story in the same anthology! This is cleverly written as Martin is a character in this short story. Pat likes to play with words so I totally think this is on purpose. Thoughts!?

I felt the same way when I read that as well! I laughed when read it but missed the nuisance of the character named Martin! So yea totally agree

I am pretty sure you are right!! LOL.

:::laughinglaughing:::

Good catch!

Thanks for sharing that Matt. I didn't catch it before.
