Dear Patrick Rothfuss,
I love your work. You make me laugh, you make me cry, and your words are beautiful. You know how to craft a book that is truly a work of art. When I finished your book last night, I was bereft. What else could I possibly read that was going to live up to your book? (I chose something I've read before, with an interesting story but disappointing writing. I figured that would be safe.)
So, I am singing your praises and recommending your books to everyone, but I am also quite frustrated. I just don't know how to wait for years to read your next book. It is agonizing. It's good to build up anticipation for a book, but I think you are taking it to the extreme.
That's right, this is a love-hate letter. Because I love your writing, but I hate it that you are leaving me hanging for an indeterminate length of time. Again.
Wishing you speedy writing,
Melissa R. Wolfe
No thanks to your husband for letting me borrow The Name of the Wind. I read it, loved it and immediately bought The Wise Man's Fear when it came out and now am stuck craving the next one. From now on when he recommends a book I'm going to ask if the series is complete first.
