Auri makes a trade that feels right. We talk about the Menders again, and whether we think Auri has got religion. We also talk about how Auri's worsening conditions lead her to consider compromise, and how a small detail on this page is reminiscent of a trigger of Kvothe's.

In Episode 155 Kvothe plays a trick and a song at the Eolian.  But the reaction is not what he hoped for, perhaps affecting hs ability to collect coin from the wealthy establishment there.  To make matters worse, Kvothe has been poisoned, causing him to bungle his admissions and achieve his worst tuition yet!  Even after he has collected his various moneys from his artificing, and playing tips, his purse is still a bit light, so back to Devi he must go.  And the Fingers are here for it! We cover this series spoiler-free in the main section, but Devi After Dark is our chance to dive into the wilder speculation about these books, at the end of each episode.  We hope to bring you the best of our own theories and thoughts in the fandom as we move through the series.

In this episode of Davos Fingers covering NINE chapters, Denna gets over her high while Kvothe confronts the rampaging Draccus and offers it some Sympathy before making his way home to the University.  He has many apologies to give and amends to make there, but one consistent thorn in Kvothe's side learns that sticks and stones may be bad, but Names actually can hurt something fierce.  He also goes up on the horns, again, and is sentenced to a lashing, awarded a small fortune, expelled from the University, promoted to Re'lar, and readmitted to the University in the span of a few minutes.  And lastly, Kvothe finally gathers the courage to ask Auri to show him her home.  It's a lot of content, and the Fingers enjoyed every minute of it! If you love all the good spoilery bits talked about in the future sections of this book, don't miss Devi After Dark at the end of the episode where we chat about some of the deeper mysteries in this series.  But if you are reading along for the first time, don't worry, all spoilers will be avoided until then!

In this Epiosode Matt and Scad follow Kvothe and his sometimes companion Denna as they continue to unravel the mystery of blue flame that Denna saw at Mauthen's Wedding.  It isn't what they think as they are forced to contend with a mythical creature of legend:  A Dragon. Or is it.  Not only that but the creature is on an addiction-riddled hunt for his next fix, and Kvothe and Denna feel like they must stop it.  Inside, the Fingers also unravel the importance of honesty in storytelling, tell some of their own tales, and laugh along at each other as usual! The Davos' Fingers podcast is spoiler free as we tackle The Name of the Wind just as we were during our coverage of ASOIAF.  So sit back and listen comfortably with the knowledge that we will not cover any material in this episode beyond Chapter 78.  At least until our spoiler section at the end, which we lovingly call Devi After Dark.

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. The Davos' Fingers podcast is spoiler free as we cover The Kingkiller Chronicle, so we will only cover that material up to and including the chapters discussed in this episode.  So listen in comfort knowing we will not spoil this book for first time readers!  But if you love the saucy speculation, join us for a special section at the end of the podcast called Devi After Dark, in which the spoilers will fly!

In Episode 148, Matt and Scad go walking and talking with Kvothe and Denna as the pair connect for hours after Kvothe skips out on work. It's also a bit of a catchup episode. Kvothe has all sorts of opportunity in front of him now that he has obtained his talent pipes and completed his training in the artificery, but what will he prioritize, and can he focus on getting a little bit ahead in life, or will he get distracted by the things he doesn't have.

Episode 147:  Caught By A Smile   The boys from Davos' Fingers get a nice easy break this episode to sit back and listen to a master at work.  This series of chapters is contained almost entirely within the happening music spot, The Eolian, where Kvothe attempts to “earn his pipes”.  A small trinket fashioned to look like silver pipes, they will earn him money and clout if he is successful.  But it is no easy task, as it takes a flawless and moving performance from a skilled artist, with most attempts not meeting the bar.  Kvothe drinks with his good friends, makes a few new ones, and is reunited with an old one from months ago all in this one magical night at the Eolian.

We talk about buttwatching, the downtown pinko latte-swilling elite experience, and compare Laurel to Larel. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg To support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike as they battle for a living wage and decent working conditions, visit one or more of these links: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/the-snacklist-support-striking-workers

Despite the return of the ring, things aren't right between Denna and Kvothe. We talk about pathetic fallacy and atmospheric perspective, what Kvothe could have done better, and why Denna's frustrations might be justified. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg To support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike as they battle for a living wage and decent working conditions, visit one or more of these links: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/the-snacklist-support-striking-workers

Kvothe and Denna fail to get in sync. We talk about the hairmagic, summarise where their relationship is being left off, and what Denna thinks of his relationship with Ambrose. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg To support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike as they battle for a living wage and decent working conditions, visit one or more of these links: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/the-snacklist-support-striking-workers

Page 971: Jealousy, Hypocrisy Denna jumps to some conclusions. We discuss Denna's jealousy and hypocrisy, Kvothe's pig-headedness, and the mistakes both characters make by jumping to conclusions. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg To support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike as they battle for a living wage and decent working conditions, visit one or more of these links: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/the-snacklist-support-striking-workers

Kvothe works up to asking Denna a foolish question, and is de-railed. We talk about how Kvothe narrowly avoids making a huge mistake, the scars both characters bear, and discuss the taxonomy of the wife guy. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg To support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike as they battle for a living wage and decent working conditions, visit one or more of these links: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/the-snacklist-support-striking-workers

Kvothe and Denna hang out on a hot rock. We talk about what Denna means by “Yes” (and come to no conclusions), the sensuality of this passage, and the name of the wind in Denna's hair. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg To support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike as they battle for a living wage and decent working conditions, visit one or more of these links: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/the-snacklist-support-striking-workers

Kvothe and Denna go on a date to a secluded dell. We debate what exactly Denna means by her story, the pitfalls of not being able to say plainly what's on your mind, and how that leads to tragedy. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg To support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike as they battle for a living wage and decent working conditions, visit one or more of these links: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/the-snacklist-support-striking-workers

The Fingers find Kvothe at the end of his first term considerably richer than he was when he first arrived, with a true enemy in Ambrose, and a wild reputation that is MOSTLY true spreading like wildfire through the University. But as he approaches his second term and finds himself short of tuition money with no easy way to get more, he turns to scary options in order to stay a student, and even scarier options to bring music back into his life. There is also a woman waiting in the wings…or maybe she entered in this set of chapters? Come join us to get our thoughts on the matter.   The Davos' Fingers Podcast has drifted away from ASOIAF for a time to dive into the wonderful world created by Patrick Rothfuss within The Kingkiller Chronicle. Join us as we walk through The Name of the Wind, spoiler free of anything beyond the chapters covered here (46-52).   We love to hear from our listeners and those that also love Pat's work! Send us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com. We also love to chat about Kvothe and his story on twitter@davosfingers.

Well the Fingers have certainly stumbled into a Tavern Tale, though Kvothe might disagree. This episode moves FAST. Kvothe gets to teach his first lesson at the University (you didn't misread that), gets punished and rewarded for it (you didn't misread that either), then gets his wounds tended to, but then opens a new wound himself by disobeying a serious rule of the University. If only he had figured out that 4-plated DOOR first!! So much happens to Kvothe so quickly, sometimes you just want to tell him to slow down, but here we are!   Matt and Scad have really hit their stride in their coverage of The Kingkiller Chronicle weaving pop culture and their personal lives in with some in-depth analysis of the text. Like listening to two friends chat about something you love, come join us!   The Davos' Fingers Podcast is spoiler free during its coverage of The Name of the Wind, so listen in safe in the knowledge that we won't discuss beyond the chapters at hand. That is until we reach our spoiler section: Devi After Dark at the end of the episode.   Send a courier our way with an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com. Or come join in a conversation about Kvothe and his pals on twitter with us @davosfingers. You can also find us under the same handle on Bluesky or find us and like us on Facebook!   And if you want to look at our lovely, mostly smiling faces, watch us on Youtube! https://youtu.be/-ygm7SIMZ6U   Episode 145 covers chapters 39-45 of The Name of the Wind.

In Episode 144*, the Fingers follow Kvothe into Imre and further into the depths of the University.  Inside, we get a cultural education about the University, and we meet the Masters that control admissions.  Kvothe must work some Kvothian magic to be admitted, but once he is, we get to meet some new friends and some new enemies.  Kvothe is at the University at last; where he thinks he belongs, and that is something to celebrate.   We are just under 1/2 of the way through The Name of the Wind, the first book in The Kingkiller Chronicle, and we hope you come along for the ride with us while we all await The Winds of Winter!  It is a rich text by a fantastic author, and you should definitely give it a try! We strive to be spoiler free while we analyze the text at the Davos' Fingers podcast.  Please listen along as you read this series without fear of being spoiled.  However, for all those that are interested in our thoughts of what might be coming next, we have a special segment called Devi After Dark to fulfill all your darkest needs.  If you have something you'd love for us to cover on Devi After Dark, please reach out and ask! Please contact us!  We want to hear from those that worship Patrick (and George) as much as we do!  We can be found at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, @davosfingers on twitter, at davosfingers.com or you can find our page on Facebook.
