CasterQuest: The Kingkiller Chronicle Book Club

The Wise Man’s Fear Book Club Episode 122 covering Chapters 102-103, in our ongoing read of the Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss.

 

In this episode… 

♪ When the moon hits your eye in the weird faen sky that’s amore,

When the beams seem to shine and you turn them to twine that’s grammorie,

In the glade, girlfriend weaves a shaed, sexy games are played, you’re afraid that your drowning,

And we’ll rhyme, in a metric line, during the whole time, and its prime syllable counting! ♪

This is a juicy episode chock full of interesting historical facts, iambic pentameter, astronomical terms, deep mystery and magic, and a moist brush with danger.

What do you call the dark side of the moon? Which stone doors are the REAL doors of stone? What would the Faen Zodiac signs even look like?

The KKC subreddit hits us with the really important questions, and we discuss the latest news on the Kingkiller Television series.

All this and so much more.

Next book club covers chapter 104: The Cthae!

“The Wise Man’s Fear” Book Club episode recapping chapters 100-101, from Patrick Rothfuss’ best-selling fantasy series- The Kingkiller Chronicle.

In this episode, Felurian realizes that if she is going to have to let Kvothe return to the mortal world, he is going to need some protection. It’s time for a field trip and arts and crafts, Kvothe MAYBE dies, we’re not quite sure. What’s the deal with how time and directions in the Fae realm, and why can’t Kvothe seem to remember where all the food is coming from?

It’s pretty scary being in the dark, and is making a Shaed like boiling a frog? We could explain how the magic works, but it would just be lost in translation.

We talk all this, and more.

Ep 120 of CasterQuest “The Wise Man’s Fear” Book Club episode recapping Chapter 99: Magic of a Different Kind

In this episode, Felurian schools Kvothe in the mystical arts of foreplay. Kvothe tries to pry information about the Amyr and Chandrian from his fairy girlfriend, but for once she doesn’t seem very enthusiastic about sharing. Kvothe ponders his reputation, and we wonder what’s the point of crafting reputation. We talk about the Tehlin church, the baffling Faen culture, and try to piece together some of the puzzle of ancient Temerant history.

Welcome to the first episode of our Summer mini-book club, recapping Peter S. Beagle’s classic- The Last Unicorn chapters 1-2. Admittedly- this was supposed to be a three episode run. But it’s starting to look like it’s probably going to be more like 6-8 episodes soooo, enjoy.

We introduce the story, which is a favorite of both Erin and Patrick Rothfuss. We discuss some of the controversy behind the book rights, meeting Peter S. Beagle in person, and then we kick off the recap where we join the Unicorn on her journey out of her secluded forest to find if she truly is the Last Unicorn.
