@Caraxes I read a significant bit.. and audiobooks are always good. but lots of times it feels like it's a money grab. or you get someone who just decides to patrick rothfus up the project - lie about how long it'll take, wander around and do 6 other things and seemingly just forget about it as something to finish.

@Caraxes sort of. martin was my motivation to never get into a series - like jordon(?) and wheel of time; it can drag out forever. or just never get done. then rothfus came along in the 2000s and said he had a series, it would only be 3 books. it was just about done. so I went in like a sucker. 20some years later, he's still not released the 3rd book. he's tangented off to a couple other things and spends all night on twitch talking about his charitable org stuff... but no book. and if someone asks about it he basically turns all diva about how he's an ARTIST with absolutely NO OBLIGATION to people who bought his books. so kinda like martin to the power of a ... I guess a lovecraft
