Oh noes!
Pat just reported that Patrick Rothfuss’ “The Wise Man’s Fear”, the sequel to the heavily lauded “The Name of the Wind”, has been delayed until April 2009, due to massive rewrites of the initial manuscript. I was hoping I’d get this sometime next year, but sadly; no such luck. This probably means that I’ll have to reread tNotW before I carry on with the sequel, which will most likely be the definition of a book that doesn’t stand alone, and I was hoping that wouldn’t have to do that with this series.
Ah, well. Thankfully it’s a good book, so I won’t be bored. But one thing is for sure; this wasn’t what I was hoping to hear on a Monday evening.

But…
I thought he was already done with the sequel. Wasn’t all of this just one single novel divided into three books because of its sheer volume?

Yup, that’s what he thought too, hence his irritation.

Ah. Yes. I should probably have noticed that “massive re-writes” part.
