I've lost any urgency to read
The Doors of Stone. I am sure I will
IF, when it comes out, it is actually the final book and not just the final book of the prologue. As you can see, that's a big "if" given where the story is right now. If this doesn't have a decent wrap-up I will wait until it is actually finished. Or just drop it altogether. At this point I would want to do a re-read anyway but I'm not going to do that if there is another long wait expected after it comes out before the current story is resolved.
That said, I do appreciate his candor in the
Tor.com article from April (emphasis mine):

“Kingkiller, my work on the books, is—again, it might seem strange for people to hear—but nobody laments the lack of tangible progress more than me, in terms of the next Kingkiller book,” Rothfuss told Cunningham. “But things are moving forward, if not fast—again, I’ve never promised fast, ever since I knew what I was good at professionally. I made promises very early on in interviews where I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to do these books one a year.’ But I was an idiot. I had just been published for like two months, I had no idea what I was talking about.”
