Yay! We Have a Publication Date for Third Kingkiller Chronicle!

[BrandieC]

OK, so this is probably a silly post, but I just learned that the third book in the Kingkiller Chronicle, The Doors of Stone, will be released on May 1, 2013.  I can't wait!

I'm with you BrandieC.  This makes me giggle manically.  I have gotten so many people started on this series...Including several who insisted the genre is "not their thing", but they have all loved it so far.  Yea!  I can't wait.

Thanks for the post. I wondered when the release would be. I am just reading the second book in the Kingkiller Chronicle. Excellent books.

Oh this is great news!!!     I loved the first one so much I read it twice just waiting on the second!  My son liked it too.

This series is just unbelievably great. Classic, transcendent, genre redefining fantasy. But, honestly, I'm not going to hold my breath – if you guys recall, the pub date for The Wise Man's Fear was changed numerous times. But that said, if it really does turn out to be next May, I will be PSYCHED!

I would be unbelievably excited if this was the case, but I'd like to know where you found this out, as I haven't been able to find a statement from Rothfuss.

If this is true, it would be amazing, but please tell me how you know!

@bobjoejack:

I believe that date was provided on the fictfact.com website.  I just checked the site again, and it now says May 1, 2014.  Dadgummit!

It was four years between The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear so I'm not surprised here – but, hey, I would rather wait and have it be a masterpiece...

at least there is a date now...lost my link to his blog when my other computer died.

I was wondering why we hadn't heard anything before now if the date really was May 2013. 2014 sounds more like it. And we'll see if the hype of the date follows or if it changes.

Thank you!

This is a book I am really looking forward to.
