Rothfuss's non-Kingkiller publications.
Patrick Rothfuss is the author of The Kingkiller Chronicle, one of the most celebrated — and most discussed — unfinished fantasy series of its generation. Born in 1973, he published The Name of the Wind in 2007 after a decade of writing. The Wise Man's Fear followed in 2011. The third and final novel, The Doors of Stone, remains unfinished as of 2026.
Rothfuss writes with a literary care unusual in epic fantasy — The Name of the Wind was praised for its prose and its narrative structure (a legend narrating his own story, aware of the gap between who he was and who people think he was). The wait for The Doors of Stone has been the subject of considerable reader frustration.
