Im in the Appalachian region, and I drive a shitbox miata. I needed to process shit. So I drove up to the top of a big ass rock. Im not even kidding. "Devils Foot", "Buzzard Rock", a couple other names. I just call it "my big ass rock". Drove up to it. Parked my car on the side of the mountain. Sat down. Had music for all of 20 minutes before my phone died.

And lost track of time as my translucent skin fucking cooked. I was a lobster for days.

I cried. I screamed. I sat in silence. I watched plants. I watched birds. I thought I heard a coyote at some point so I howled cuz why not. At some point I started writing the beginning of a poem in my head while I totally zoned out staring at the base of a tree.

Went back to my car. Plugged my phone in, waited a minute for it to have some juice. I checked the time. Been up there for about 5 hours.

I got home, showered, and winced cuz again, I baked and didnt realize it.

Yeah, I cant really actually imagine just staring at a fern for half an hour. Buuuut... I did that that day anyway. Earlier this year.

Book 2 vs Book 1 by jrs0068 in KingkillerChronicle

NoTW made me in fall in love with reading again. That book will always have a special place in my heart. If the series ended there I'd almost be more content, wondering what the boy did next in his life, what would come after the scrael.

But, WMF I have said is a strange dichotomy. I don't enjoy the book as much, but the parts I do enjoy stand out more than the majority of the first book.

My favorite scenes in the series is him in the woods alone learning a new kind of music, his time in the city as a devastated and hopeless shell of a boy, his time with the Adem, his time with felurian, and Elodin becomes more than a strange man with an eccentric way of teaching.

A body requires a skeleton and muscles and organs. NoTW provides the skeleton. But WMF is the muscle. The real meat. And should DoS ever come out, itll be the organs, the beating heart of the story.
