I thought TNOTW was OK, but it was way longer than it needed to be, with some really heavy-handed foreshadowing in my opinion. I didn't like it enough to be bored by the second book, however. Never mind that it was abundantly clear to me after the first book that his definition of The Kingkiller Chronicles being "finished" in three installments won't be the same as my definition of "finished." It will merely be the final installment in the
first trilogy of Kvothe's saga.
I gave up on GRRM's ASOIAF not because of the delays. Well not only the delays, anyway. I gave up because after the long delay in getting A Feast for Crows written/pulblished, it quite frankly, stunk on ice. Ridiculously padded, and utterly devoid of all the characters I wanted to be reading about.
