The Doors of Stone?
Is that a book based on the movie The Doors by Oliver Stone?
I keed, I keed.
I've only read The Name of the Wind, but I'm not sure it ill read the rest. I heard so much about how good this series was, but I was fairly disappointed with the first book. It has great potential, but It's just really boring, imo. There's not nearly enough action, although as a drama book, it would he decent, but I read fantasy novels for action. Kvothe's story about growing up is really good, ill give it that. It's heart-wrenching and sad, yet uplifting at times, but it just stagnates for me, especially towards the end with the entire scenes devoted to walking around in the woods playing with the dracconus. I mean come on. I was bored out of my mind. And the beginning when he's fighting the spiders. Spiders? Stone-like spiders with razor legs. Horrible.
Anyway, if you read my posts, I've yet to dislike any of the discussed books that I've read, and I apologize if I'm coming off wrong, but I just really couldn't get into this book. The next one has to be much improved if i am to finish the series.
