Matt and Scad celebrate their 150th episode with a doozy of a selection of chapters from The Name of the Wind.  Kvothe hears that the Chandrian have appeared only one day prior and a mere afternoon's ride away.  He drops everything, procures a loan for a horse and sets off to see evidence of this childhood faerie tale turned real life trauma.  When he arrives, Denna just happens to be the only survivor from the slaughter, and the two of them tour the scene of the crime together.  Also inside, we reminisce about our 150 episodes together and share some heartfelt and very touching listener feedback from the Khalasar.

Kvothe has an awful dream that actually makes him feel better. We talk about the details of Kvothe's dream, the paralells between Kvothe and the Chandrian, and Nick tells a few unpointed stories about a certain standup comic.

Kvothe finally explains what sealed his family's fate. We talk about the identity of Chronicler's Master Namer, whether or not Kvothe is being reckless by saying the Chandrian names, and what Kvothe is contributing by repeating this information.

Shehyn continues her oddly familiar story.

Kvothe decides to value silence and stillness rather than pursue his line of questioning. We agonize over a single piece of blocking, talk about how the other Adem have been very nasty to Tempi, and a letter prompts some serious discussion about pineapples, Chandrian, and Jordana giving a shit. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com

Kvothe finally gets a clue about the whereabouts of the Chandrian. We talk about the causality of the Cthaeh's news, the cadence of its clues, and how it might know what it knows. Support the show, join the discord, and read the FAQs at pageofthewind.com

Felurian shuts Kvothe up when he tries to ask about the Chandrian. We talk about the tonal shift, how Kvothe reacts, and the similarities betweel Maer and Mael. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com twitch.tv/pageofthewind

Kvothe turns dark as he encounters his first people after leaving Ademre: the false Edema Ruh troupe. We call him judge, jury, and executioner as he takes matters into his own hands (earlier than you might realize) and plays Amyr for the night to bring justice to his slain family. We also do a deep dive into the names of the Chandrian and their signs since he hears the story of the Rhinta before he leaves Haert. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fantasticbooks/message

Kvothe, who is now a full member of the shcool, is almost out of Ademre. In this episode we discuss how he gains an old sword, his new name, and his stone ranking, but deepens his rift with Carceret. He also gets closer and closer to finding out new answers about the Chandrian...or should we say Rhinta? Other topics include the location of the final boss battle, the sex lives of the Adem, and who can forget man mothers?! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fantasticbooks/message

All right, King Killers, we're covering chapter 114 in this episode.We go through Kvothe trying to get info on the Chandrian from Vashet and her continued training of him, and we cover a pivotal aspect of the Adem, their 99 stories.

All right, King Killers, we're covering chapters 98-100 in this episode. We discuss the always hilarious part where Kvothe manipulates Felurian by tugging at her ego with a less than flattering song on her sexual prowess. We also get her thoughts on the Amyr and Chandrian, and she takes Kvothe to make him another nerd cloak. Albeit slightly more cool that the previous ones. So sit back and enjoy.Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick RothfussWise Man's Fear chapters 98-100Name of the Wind Reread episodes 1-22 Stormlight Archive reread every other Thursdayhttps://www.instagram.com/kingkillerpodcast/https://mobile.twitter.com/The_KingKillershttps://m.youtube.com/channel/UCiaY2hLAC0BUulRnhHdV_0g https://kingkillerpodcast.com/https://kingkillerpodcastom/contribute/        ★ Support this podcast ★

Kvothe surmuler over det med Denna og Ambrose, lærer noget om The Chandrian som han ikke synes er vigtigt, men som garanteret er det alligevel, og så går han full on thief for at få Dennas ring tilbage. Det kommer helt sikkert til at gå fint. Til næste gang læser vi til og med kapitel 32.

All right, King Killers, we're covering chapters 33-36 in this episode.We finally arrive at the heist scene, as The Boys and girls destroy the mommet in Ambrose's room.

On this latest mailbag interstitial, we entertain a variety of cracked pots (what if the Mair is asexual? What does Denna *really* believe about the Chandrian? Is the narrator of the NotW audiobook, himself, a chandrinoid?) You want the answers? Tune in to find out.

All right, King Killers, we're covering chapters 10-11 in this episode. A couple fantastic chapters. We speculate on what might be happening with Denna behind the scenes, a great back and forth with Devi, and the great meeting between Auri, Kvothe, and Elodin. We also dive into more Auri theories and her book, The Slow Regard of Silent Things.You'll also get helpful tips on how to kiss from Dan, a fun new theory about the Chandrian and their sidling ways, why Tim once ate a dog bone, and what kind of hats The Great, Almighty, Powerful Grey Dalcenti wears.

At last we are in Vintas! After losing almost all his possessions in a shipwreck, Kvothe is forced to make some tough decisions and use his cunning to make his way into Maer Alveron's grand estate. Once there, he enters an entirely new world with rules and customs that he must learn and adapt to quickly in order to stay the in Maer's good graces. Will the court politics prove to much for our favorite adventurer? Will Kvothe rise to the challenge and gain the Maer as a patron and ally in his quest to find the Chandrian and the Amyr?

Pludselig, mens vi har travlt med troldmandsskolen og Ambrose-konflikten, dukker the Chandrian op igen. De har myrdet alle gæsterne til at bryllup og Kvothe må naturligvis undersøge. Denna, siger du? Hun er selvfølgelig også rodet ind i hele affæren på en eller anden måde. Og, nåja, der er også noget med en hest. Til næste gang læser vi til og med kapitel 83.

All right, King Killers, in this episode we cover chapters 77-81We have a very good discussion on sympathy here. I have some big questions on what the limitations are and how I'd use it, and it's an issue we'd really like to find out more about in book 3, Hangin Tough. We're also going to dive into my best guess as far as the historical significance of the Mauthen Farm territory and where the Chandrian pot came from. We'll see Denna get blitzed and open up and reveal some secrets, and the draccus is going to go on a rampage looking to hump a fire as it's on a massive meth binge. You'll also get to hear Tim's hangover advice and what it reveals about him, we come up with absurd ways to describe sex with Felurian, and Tim gets very annoyed about something Fitz has been doing for 20 episodes.

Who are the top candidates, what group does he belong to, and what are his motivations. We also discuss what kind of party is the best party. The answer may surprise you. Why playing monopoly with us can get dangerous.

Denna tells the girl a little about herself, which means Kvothe learns it too. We talk about Kvothe as hero prince, Denna's venomous streak, and make a pretty good summation of what the Chandrian's deal might be.

All right, King Killers, this is a good one. We're going to cover chapters 12-14. We discuss the Chandrian's signs, learn about the Great, Almighty, Powerful Grey Dalcenti, the man of few words. We're also going to speculate on how yoked Haliax is, as he's also the ultimate emo character.We then talk a lot of about Bast and Chronicler, explain why you may want to empty your bowels before listening to our theories on future episodes, and why Fitz fears pterodactyls. Then we are going to debate the massive gaping hole Rothfuss left in the book, and why it will end up getting him laughed and booed off the stage at a comic con.

All right, King Killers, in this episode we discuss the obvious similarities between the novels and the arc of the Mario Bros franchise, as well as the similarities between the story's present day Kote and the version of Kvothe we read about as he was “asleep” in Tarbean.We delve further into just who Chronicler really is, the basic bitch that is Felurian, and the clearly disgusting lack of personal hygienic attention people adhere to in this world. And most importantly, as we delve into the all important origins of multiple characters, we discuss the connections between the Ruach, the Chandrian, and Amyr, and how nobody poops.Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfusshttps://www.instagram.com/kingkillerpodcast/https://mobile.twitter.com/The_KingKillershttps://m.youtube.com/channel/UCiaY2hLAC0BUulRnhHdV_0ghttps://kingkillerpodcast.com/https://kingkillerpodcast.com/contribute/★ Support this podcast ★

It's the long awaited anniversary episode! We do explain why were were late, but other than that we dive right in to some of the most interesting Kingkiller Chronicle fan theories out there. SPOILERS for all of The Wide Man's Fear and Slow Regard of Silent Things because we had to hunt for Patrick Rothfuss' breadcrumbs through all of his writings. In particular, we cover the Chandrian, Chthaeh, and Auri, but it's an episode jam packed with details and predictions about many aspects of the story, including Selito's eye, the Locelos Box, Kvothe's identities, Felurian, and much more.

In this episode, Kvothe finally gets two things he's wanted for a LONG time: Access to the Archives and Elodin's attention, so we've got a lot to unpack, especially because neither turns out quite to be what Kvothe expected. He's put to the test finding books for his naming class just to discover that it was a waste of his time, chagrined to find anything useful written on the Chandrian, and rebuked by Kilvin for potentially selling charms. AND to top it all off, Kvothe witnesses the unthinkable: Denna and Ambrose together out on a date.

The boys discuss where they would go if they could go anywhere. We discuss what Kvothe’s answer tells us about him, pontificate on the nature of the Tahl, and lay down bets on whether or not the Chandrian really do have a castle made of candy. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com

He goes through the turmoil of losing his family, his home, and, last but not least, his lute....and maybe even loses himself a bit. We talk through all this sad stuff, but also get into the connections between naming and music, the religion of this world, and another character whose name is awfully similar to Lockless...plus Ana finally realizes why that tree fell down.

"My name is Kvothe. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.

"My name is Kvothe. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.

In our first Kingkiller Chronicles episode we have a long conversation about Dungeons and Dragons before getting into the book. Dan calls Abenthy the Arcanist a dick and Luke gets scared by a Chandrian with bad hair. Special thanks to VOLO for the intro and outro music.The post The Name of the Wind Part One: Chapters 1-17 first appeared on Don't call it a book club..

Kvothe sleeps through his chance to meet whatever chases away the Chandrian and we talk about their powers. We make some assumptions about Cinder's motivations, bring up grandmothers for some reason, and describe the effects of a black hole. @pageofthewind patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind@gmail.com pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

We meet Haliax up close and personal today. We talk about how we've been set up to recognize what we think are the Chandrian, Jeremy references Harry Potter, and we talk about how Rothfuss uses a tool for punishing children. @pageofthewind pageofthewind@gmail.com patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

We describe Cinder, talk about kids' brains, and speculate as to the Chandrian's motivations - and come to no conclusions, of course. @pageofthewind pageofthewind@gmail.com patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

We get our first glimpse of the mysterious Chandrian! We talk about Chandrian signs, speculate on their origins, and get psyched for the upcoming pages! @pageofthewind pageofthewind@gmail.com patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

The doom is finally upon us. We discuss the techniques Rothfuss uses to describe Kvothe's shock, and we talk a little bit about the Chandrian (despite them not being present on the page) @pageofthewind pageofthewind@gmail.com patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

We see the groundwork Rothfuss has laid for The Wise Man's Fear, note the misdirect that's happening in this page, and we note some aspects of the Chandrian that suggest they may not be as supernatural as they seem... and of course we talk about the Protestant Reformation and the political machinations of Henry VIII because that's the kind of thing we do. @pageofthewind patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind@gmail.com pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

We read about the Chandrian's signs and hear the characters speculate about what is true and what is myth. Jeremy is wrong about goat's eyes, Jordana gets into the crazy theory business, and Nick is perfectly reasonable as usual. @pageofthewind patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

The scariest tales are those we don't understand - and Kvothe's father thinks he's discovered the Chandrian's motivation! We discuss what we know about the Chandrian, what we don't, and speculate about both! @pageofthewind patreon.com/pageofthewind pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com

In which we discuss our singing voices, female particulars, and introduce a spooky new theory! Got a question? pageofthewind@gmail.com Our home is pageofthewind.dorkshelf.com Consider supporting us at patreon.com/pageofthewind

Much in the manner of Kvothe's search for blue fire, the Earful gang rolls up into the second hour of Convoy in search of truth in this exciting Monday episode. And much in the manner of Kvothe enacting justice againsts schoolmate Ambrose by summoning the wind (after first learning its name), the Earful gang summons the Dog Brothers by writing an email to the Dog Brothers in the hit segment "We Write an Email to the Dog Brothers." And much in the manner of Kvothe's dogged research questioning all that humanity knows about the nature of the Chandrian, the Earful gang questions everything about Convoy in this veritable "Episode of Questions". Tune in, drop out, and Pull a Kvothe yourself! (ding)
