@CapturedInWords 36:10 this with the book by the Duke of Gebir is a citation out of of french literature. Unluckily I fail to remember by whom. Probably by Alexandre Dumas senior. There once was a documentary on books bound with human skin in american libraries that retold this story. It had something to do with one of the many knocked down medieval towers and castles at the outskirts of Paris whose legends made it into several french books of the 18/19th century. I do not think it was Gilles de Reis, though that was my first guess, but I think these books bound in human skin has something to do if not with the family Montmorency and de Reis' italian alchemist, then with the knacker's place at Montfaucon, or some Baron Belleme. - Probably Sanson had that story in his memories about the headsmen of Paris. I just used Google and found that Dumas wrote a story about the Tour de Nesle, and that royal love-affair had somebody skinned, whose skin might have ended up as a book-binding.- So if somebody should want to write an essay or a video-script on the re-use of creepy literary motivs...
At 19:50 you talk about Kvothe finding a book that mentions the Chandrian. By his account, the text was over 200 years old. Did you notice the name of the town where he got the testimony?! “One drunk tanner in the town of Hillsbarrow….” It’s the ruins outside of Trebon! Only now it’s called Barrow Hill. It also happens to be place where the Chandrian, at one point in history, obviously had an influence. Hence the piece of pottery found there at the wedding.
when kvothe invents the tale about The Chronicler he also mentions something about the high king of modeg “The high king’s name is written in a book of glass, hidden in a box of copper. And that box is locked away in a great iron chest where nobody can touch it.” though it was quite interesting as it sounds like kvothe’s chest which is said to have a lock of iron, a lock of copper and a lock unseen (the unseen lock being the glass book in this case)
13:00 This is my favorite scene in the series, I have read it several times and more often than not it gets a couple tears rolling through my skin. Kvothe's story about how him learning to make music before talking, how this was connected to his mother and finnaly being torn apart by the drunken realization that he would never hear that tune receive answer, to then hear "I am here, you are safe" is simply a beautiful heartbreaking moment that really resonates with me.
I think truly showing Auri and Kvothe are truly connected. What a well written piece that its such a beautiful human to human moment, and also a heavy hint of the lore. Like the marriage of need for storybeat and for character executed in one fell swoop
It took me a lot of time to realize why this brought me to tears every single time, and it's not even because he was mourning for his mother, but because for the first time he had someone to comfort him. For the first time he showed himself vulnerable in front of someone. That is why I like Auri so much, she brings a side of Kvothe that we don't usually see.
I love this series and these videos so much. The wait for the third book is almost mythical or sacred at this point. But no other series marries grandeur, mystery, heart, magic, friendship and small personal stories the way this does. The prose is wild, the many clues are so artful. And yet Rothfuss seemingly just won’t finish it. It is a strange and terrible and beautiful thing. I just can’t help but return to Kote’s quote when thinking on the third book. “When someone tells you a piece of their life, they’re giving you a gift, not granting you your due”… yet I still can’t accept it won’t ever come.
Great video as always, Jay!! 3:30 regarding sleep, if you take the narrative quite literally, Kote is said to sleep in the end of the 1st chapter of NOTW: "It was a long time before he walked past the chest to bed. Once in bed, it was a long time before he slept." 8:32 Alternatively, the 'Ring of Wood' may refer to the ring Auri gives Kvothe at the end of NOTW. "It was made of warm, smooth wood. “What does it do?” I asked. “It keeps secrets,” she said." 10:34 (no note, but god i've always loved this drawing, ahahah) 11:47 regarding Elodin, Manet, and spades, it's been theorized that Elodin can harness the name of the wind through 'listening' in order to eavesdrop. It's hinted at in Book 1; Elodin asks Kvothe a question in Siaru in the initial admissions interview. Did Elodin hear Kvothe speaking Siaru to Roent a couple days ago when he boarded the caravan to Imre? There's two more such clues. WMF ch7, Kvothe swears to Simmon 'on my mother's milk'. WMF ch11, Elodin swears to Kvothe 'on my mother's milk'. Hmmmmm.... And also at some point, Wil tells Kvothe to "spit for luck" over the bridge. As Kvothe is leaving for Severen, Elodin tells him to spit for luck 15:58 strong agree on Beladari/Belen connection 32:44 Faeriniel, "a place where all the roads in the world meet". Hmm! Back in NOTW ch34, when Kvothe leaves Denna for University, his parting words are: “I’ll see you where the roads meet.” I take this as foreshadowing that Kvothe is going to run into Denna, quite unexpectedly, in Faeriniel or Fae itself 38:20 Fela's promotion to Re'lar is interesting. Fela is already a Re'lar in NOTW, as Kilvin says, “I owe you a great weight of thanks for pulling Re’lar Fela from the fire today.” I take it to mean that Elodin is using the ANCIENT meaning of the term, "speaker of names", and not the colloquial/academic meaning it has taken on in modern times. Puppet also seems to speak of E'lir and Re'lar in the ancient sense of the words 43:08 Ooo you said, "He has his reasons, and wants us to trust him" for not explaining the shipwreck. I haven't heard that quote before, but I'm not surprised to hear that he's said that. Wrapped up in that bit of fast-forwarded shipwreck is Kvothe tending his injuries and reciting poetry in Junpui. Rothfuss has confirmed that a small part of DoS will be in Junpui and that he's very proud of that piece. Could all tie together! 43:35 Threpe as the betrayer... very interesting! I'll have to inspect more closely 44:22 congrats on the wedding! Best wishes!! :)
Really great points made! Good find about Kote sleeping in NOTW ch 1, so it looks like he does sleep after all! The wooden ring could definitely be the one that Auri gave him too, I always forget about that ring. Actually I think it would probably make more sense for him to wear that then the one he got in vintas. Wow very interesting theory about Elodin using the name of the wind to eavesdrop, I never heard that theory! Hmmm with all the examples you gave I think this could definitely be likely. In that case, it's very interesting that Elodin took such a big interest in kvothe from the beginning and has been listening in on his private conversations. With part of DoS being in Junpui, I wonder if Kvothe has been holding off on telling the story about the shipwreck because it would spoil the plot twist that happens later on when he discovers Count Threpe betrayed him (given that this theory ends up being correct). Kvothe likes to tell a good story, and may not want the betrayal to be too obvious, but eventually he plans on circling back to give details on what happened during the shipwreck and surviving in Junpui. Also thank you!! 🙌🎉
exactly about threpe. i forgot he told threpe about master ash and at this point i wouldnt be surprised if threpe was a sort of artistically inclined but malicious amyr
I like the theory, but Kvothe has too much remorse and self loathing for me to blame it all on Ambrose. I suspect Kvothe made mistakes that contributed to Ambrose becoming king and married to Denna.
@@tomaskadlec9534 not willingly, but even someone as elusive as Denna can be trapped by someone with enough power. I forget, is Ambrose from a constitutional monarchy or absolute? Absolute monarchies are as awful as their worst monarch.
This is a very good theory indeed. But maybe Kvothe kills Ambrose's father and now Ambrose is the king. That is also possible. (sorry if i made mistakes, english is not my first language)
Jay, this is such a spectacular summary. THANK YOU! I can't wait for part 2, but enjoy your wedding and don't worry about us. We will be here when you return.
Something that I noticed in the first book is the rhyme from Arliden: “Like a drawstone even in our sleep Standing stone by old road is the way To lead you ever deeper into Fae. Laystone as you lay in hill or dell Greystone leads to something something ‘ell.’” “Something something ell” could be Myr Tariniel. This could imply that the greystones are a sort of marker that lead to Myr Tariniel
I honestly don't know what I'd do without you and these little dips back into Temerant, I have such bittersweet love for these books and I hope one day we will finally be able to unravel all the threads ❤️ can't wait for part two
Binge watching all these summaries has been such an amazing time! I can't wait for parts 2 and 3! Thanks for making these, I love hearing the way you retell the story
Fantastic! I've been waiting for this video since the deep dive in to Name of the Wind and it didn't disappoint. I have never considered Count Threpe working for Ambrose. Very interesting -- I'll have to look into that.
I'm glad you enjoyed!! I'm excited to post the next parts in June! I only picked up on the theory about Count Threpe in my last reread, but I'm starting to think that it's very likely to be true
Someone on Reddit mentioned that different time dates, like Lanre being 5,000 years old and when the Blac of Drossen Tor took place, along with others, don't exactly fit. I'm not entirely sure if this is purely because the information mostly stems from folkoric sources and thus the dates are not the important bit and could be inaccurate, or because Patrick is trying to hint at something else...
This was a video I needed. I love the world in this story. Patrick should pay for all of this. You have single-handedly kept the story in the minds of countless readers over years of nothing. Congratualtions on your wedding btw. Great video as usual.
@@CapturedInWords Also, congratulations on the upcoming wedding!! Also also…I didn’t ever put together the possibility of the Count being antagonistic, certainly not to the point of staging a mutiny and murder. That changes the reading of some things for sure. 😁
@@ltrigga219 Thank you very much!! I didn't pick up on the clues about Threpe's betrayal for a long time as well, it was on my most recent reread when i started piecing it together and now I'm pretty sure that he was the one who staged the mutiny and was working with that sketchy sailor and possibly Ambrose. There's so many small details in these books, it's a lot of fun rereading them!
I think Ambrose and his family will be killing the people in line for king to make him the heir. Kvothe will either find himself in an ironic position where he is forced to help Ambrose, killing the King and making Ambrose king (obviously book 3 would need to provide reasons to navigate Kvothe into this position) OR Kvothe kills Ambrose once he discovers how he navigated to becoming King.
My thoughts as well!! I think either of those are the most likely options. I think I'd find it most interesting if Kvothe is forced to help Ambrose become king, and it would even be a bigger plot twist if Ambrose has character growth and becomes a better man when he has the responsibility of being king (though that may be unlikely, he is quite the jackass lol).
@@CapturedInWords since it was a shipwreck that took out many in the royal family, it makes sense that Ambrose and his family could have arranged both!
But what's about the person Kvothe kills in the square and cracks the cobblestones(they said it couldn't be repaired) I always thought that it was Ambrose he killed.
36:00 in. I think Puppet is reenacting the story Kvothe was told by Trapis in Tar'Bean. The story that Trapis had some parts very well rehearsed and Kvothe looked at his robes thinking they may be Priest robes. The story of the Origin of Perial, Tehlu, and Encannis. Who side note: kinda represent Mercy or Love(Perial praying for her neighbors) Justice(Tahlu giving punishment to set things right, but acceptance after) And Absolute Evil (Encanis would rather burn than give in to not preying on others) And we kinda have that being built in the current story with Haliax, Kvothe, and Auri? Idk feel somethings there. Rothfuss likes his onions like his ogres, with layers. I think the Amyr hid secrets within the religion but the Chandrian corrupted the Church as evidenced by the priest arresting Skarpi; and i think it even alludes to Kvothe mightve seen them getting orders from one of the Chandrian even. I havent read that part in awhile but pretty sure Kvothe sees a cowl shrouded in darkness with no face talking to the priests. I think Puppet was totally a former master and a watcher in league with Lorian, whos totally an Amyr or friend to the Amyr.
i have yet to see this theory anywhere. Pat loves threes. The books talk about threes all the time. So what we know is there are two realms, the four corners and the fae. what if there’s a third. Lanre is stuck in the four corners as long as people know what he did. what the chandrian did. the third world, through the doors of stone is heaven, lanre and the chandrian want to go there to finally have peace. that’s why they use denna to put out a song that changed his story. but everyone that knows what they really did they go and kill, like kvothes family, and the wedding party for finding the urn.
wow, that little tid bit of detail/theory at the very end just gave me a "wait... what???" thought.. lol. I have NEVER thought along those lines but when you combine all of the facts you mentioned, that could very well be the case. Wow, that would be sad considering I like that character.
I truly believe that Puppet and Auri are related. They both use the word "telling" in a very similar manner and I am pretty sure it is when Kvothe asks about the Amyr. And because the Underthing is connected to the Archives, I think they are very least in contact with each other.
Very interesting, I've never thought of this before! 🤔 Now I want to do some digging to see if there's any other small details that could point to this
Hey man, i'm with pat here and we both send you a happy anniversary! Also we'd like to know when will part 2 of this incredible series come out. Oh look Pat wants to write something! Hi, it's me patrick rothfuss i like writing and playing DND and streaming, hohoho i'd really like a part 2 for this video
Just finished a re-read of these books and it should come as no surprise to myself that I love them even more! Also my first time through I liked the first book better but now I can honestly say I love TWMF’s more!! Thank you so much for making this video and congratulations on you upcoming nuptials!! Much happiness to you and your betrothed! I look forward to your next videos and I yearn for the next book in this series
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! And thank you very much! I have been working on part 2 of my summary for TWMF, so that should be up in a few weeks :) I also yearn for book 3, I can't wait for there to finally be a release date
@@CapturedInWords Jay I found your channel several years ago when I had first read the books and was eager to hear others talk about them. Your content is wonderful and you’ve lead me to other series as well. I truly savored these books this time through. They are an important part of why I fell in love with fantasy as my favorite genre.
Dont know if anyone will see this, but I'm pretty sure Auri tells Elodin that he has not brought a gift for kvothe, only for her. Elodin points out that Kvothe has not brought him a gift either, but Auri says that Kvothe has brought music, which is a gift to everyone. I think thats why she was cross with him, and Auri sniff and eats the cinnas fruit readily enough, so i dont know if it suggests that she is one of the Belladari.
The question next is what was the song Jax used to lure the moon? Bellweather! A song played on the flute to lure, so simple anyone could play it But played like it was the most difficult thing! Analyze all of the songs and how they are described in a video please.
These videos are so well made and so entertaining. I love your content and the lovely community surrounding these books! I treated myself to listening to the two previous vids as well today and I am looking forward to the next one's! Congratulations on getting married (soon)!! Take your time, it is no hardship to wait for these videos, we can rewatch your other videos as we wait :) they are all such treats!!
@@CapturedInWords yes, that happened to me too every single time, I believe that's the magic in those books, the fact that you actually discover new things almost in every sentence, I absolutely adore that ❤️
In Chapter 99, who are the "beladari", to whom it is offensive to give only one cinnas fruit? This ties in with Auri when Elodin gives her only one fruit in the wise man's fear.
YES thanks I've been wondering if you'd put this out. Loved your first summaries, listened to the audiobook of Wise Man's Fear recently it is just so good.
I think Ambrose is the current king because Kvothe seems to actively dislike the current king. The reference to the Penitent King is because Ambrose inherited his kingship at the university in the Penitent Square.
These summaries are so good because they remind me of how thick with mystery and foreshadowing the books are. I also learn new theories along the way, like Threpe betraying Kvothe, which now that I look at it, has some serious weight to it. Thanks Jay!
38:08. Denna's letter to Kvothe from Yll. Odd capital letter and other odd words maybe spell out "You should have kissed me". YOOSSKSHC "AM" WFF "Kist" ML... that's my 30 second analysis. She was trying to be more clever with it but was drinking.
Do you find it strange that he never wrote to Lord Greyfellow or Abenthy? Master Ash theories- Manet because it mentions how light he is on his feet, he has been at the university forever flying under the radar as an E’lir Or Ambrose’s father- assuming he plays the same instrument as his son, has connections with high court and has leverage at the university
My take is that Bredon Not only is Denna's patron but he is also an Amyr and the Angel Kvothe kills (Because it's said that the Amyr were originally "Angels")
I think Bredon is an Amyr as well, and that he is likely Denna's patron. However, the Angels and Amyr are different: At the end of the Creation War, Aleph came to the world of Temerant and offered to change the Ruach into angels. "He touched their hands and eyes and hearts. The last time he touched them there was pain, and wings tore from their backs that they might go where they wished. Wings of fire and shadow. Wings of iron and glass. Wings of stone and blood." He changed many of them, but Selitos refused the offer to become an angel and instead gathered a group of Ruach together who vowed to seek vengeance and confound the Chandrian. This group became the Amyr. So they're not human and they're not angels, they are Ruach.
Excellent video. After a least a 9 year hiatus from kvothes world, you have renewed my obsession with this series. I can handle GOT not being finished but not the name of wind. Keep em coming! Can’t wait for part 2! Xx
Excellent summary! I find it weird that the masters seem to have no grasp of astronomy. Even if it isn't known that the moon goes into the Fae, they should have some theories on the subject. Compare a modern student getting the question "What is dark matter?" Is this relevant? Probably not.
Hi Jay, absolutely love your channel and content! I was just wondering how your book is coming along and if you’ll ever do a video on it? Keep doing what your doing man! (Also, I’ll be one of the first to buy your book when it comes out!)
Thanks, I'm happy yuo enjoy the videos 😊 My book is going good, though it's been a very slow process! I'm not trying to rush it so it will likely be a handful of years away still before I publish, but I'll definitely make some videos on it as we get closer to the time and I'm ready to unveil some stuff :)
I literally started your recap from the Name of the Wind yesterday and started today the audiobook to the slow regard novella in anticipation for the Bast story so this video strikes perfectly :D
Another detail I love - you seem to have included your own AI art into the videos? It makes SUCH a difference, since it just adds more depth and less repetition! Well done!
Yes I did! Glad you enjoyed it!! I wasn't sure if adding AI generated art would be controversial but I think it just added a lot of variety to the video and helped me include images to better visualize what I was talking about
Knock on wood, but the stories we tell ourselves often become true and hard to change, Rothfuss seems to have been in a state of anxious stagnation for the past decade and this new novella might be him trying to change his story from tragic perfectionist to man who writes stories that are published. Even the greatest lifters start small again after a long hiatus. Perhaps Rothfuss is publishing with progressive overload.
Thank you, that is much appreciated!! :D I remember seeing your previous comment about the donation but at the time I wasn't ready to post the video. I'm working on part 2 and am excited to post it likely in early June :)
@@CapturedInWords I have read the book once and listened to the audio at least 7 more times back to back. It kept me engaged because each readthrough there was something new that I would catch. After watching this PART ONE, I realize I need to go back and read it again. There was so much you pointed out that I never noticed.
Oh my goodness gracious I am so happy you put this video out I’ve been waiting forever in for your king killer chronicle in depth videos these and Quinn’s ideas in depth dune videos are the best out there
I can't reconcile Threpe gleefully helping co-write the 'jackass' song and him being in league with Ambrose. Maybe I'll be shocked If a third book magically appears.
At this point, I just go ahead and like your videos before they even start. That said, this was another absolute banger of a video. I can't wait for the next one!
I just wanted to say that Captured in Words is my favorite book tuber; you’ve got a subscriber Jay! Also… Okay, okay, I’ll read the Kingkiller chronicles! I hadn’t wanted to start them because they’re an unfinished series, but I really want to watch all of the theory videos. They are the only captured in words videos I haven’t watched yet, so… I’ll give them a shot! Also has anyone read the Princess and the Goblin by George Macdonald? It’s a classic tale that I would put up with Tolkien and Narnia any day; I highly recommend it.

There once was a documentary on books bound with human skin in american libraries that retold this story. It had something to do with one of the many knocked down medieval towers and castles at the outskirts of Paris whose legends made it into several french books of the 18/19th century.

Threpe also sent him to vintas where he was conveniently sent straight to chandrain bandits with a bunch of loudmouths.
Are you pulling a Rothfuss and saying you would post part 2 and not doing it?
He did!
Indeed
At 19:50 you talk about Kvothe finding a book that mentions the Chandrian. By his account, the text was over 200 years old. Did you notice the name of the town where he got the testimony?! “One drunk tanner in the town of
Hillsbarrow….” It’s the ruins outside of Trebon! Only now it’s called Barrow Hill. It also happens to be place where the Chandrian, at one point in history, obviously had an influence. Hence the piece of pottery found there at the wedding.
Ooh, good find!
Oh whoa!
"I hope [these summaries] act as a good resource for those who love theories" I promise you they do. I can't thank you enough
Agreed!
when kvothe invents the tale about The Chronicler he also mentions something about the high king of modeg “The high king’s name is written in a book of glass, hidden in a box of copper. And that box is locked away in a great iron chest where nobody can touch it.”
though it was quite interesting as it sounds like kvothe’s chest which is said to have a lock of iron, a lock of copper and a lock unseen (the unseen lock being the glass book in this case)
The king who tricked tablorian also had a chest with his true name in it
Always thougt the "lock unseen" is some sort of Magic/Sympathy/Naming
@@mindblubb9578thats why he tries to open it saying edro
13:00 This is my favorite scene in the series, I have read it several times and more often than not it gets a couple tears rolling through my skin. Kvothe's story about how him learning to make music before talking, how this was connected to his mother and finnaly being torn apart by the drunken realization that he would never hear that tune receive answer, to then hear "I am here, you are safe" is simply a beautiful heartbreaking moment that really resonates with me.
I think truly showing Auri and Kvothe are truly connected. What a well written piece that its such a beautiful human to human moment, and also a heavy hint of the lore.
Like the marriage of need for storybeat and for character executed in one fell swoop
It took me a lot of time to realize why this brought me to tears every single time, and it's not even because he was mourning for his mother, but because for the first time he had someone to comfort him. For the first time he showed himself vulnerable in front of someone. That is why I like Auri so much, she brings a side of Kvothe that we don't usually see.
Just thinking about that scene has me tearing up
I love this series and these videos so much. The wait for the third book is almost mythical or sacred at this point. But no other series marries grandeur, mystery, heart, magic, friendship and small personal stories the way this does. The prose is wild, the many clues are so artful. And yet Rothfuss seemingly just won’t finish it. It is a strange and terrible and beautiful thing.
I just can’t help but return to Kote’s quote when thinking on the third book. “When someone tells you a piece of their life, they’re giving you a gift, not granting you your due”… yet I still can’t accept it won’t ever come.
Rothfuss said the books will form a tragedy of sorts - what tragedy is greater than 2 out of 3 books?
Great video as always, Jay!!
3:30 regarding sleep, if you take the narrative quite literally, Kote is said to sleep in the end of the 1st chapter of NOTW: "It was a long time before he walked past the chest to bed. Once in bed, it was a long time before he slept."
8:32 Alternatively, the 'Ring of Wood' may refer to the ring Auri gives Kvothe at the end of NOTW. "It was made of warm, smooth wood. “What does it do?” I asked. “It keeps secrets,” she said."
10:34 (no note, but god i've always loved this drawing, ahahah)
11:47 regarding Elodin, Manet, and spades, it's been theorized that Elodin can harness the name of the wind through 'listening' in order to eavesdrop. It's hinted at in Book 1; Elodin asks Kvothe a question in Siaru in the initial admissions interview. Did Elodin hear Kvothe speaking Siaru to Roent a couple days ago when he boarded the caravan to Imre? There's two more such clues. WMF ch7, Kvothe swears to Simmon 'on my mother's milk'. WMF ch11, Elodin swears to Kvothe 'on my mother's milk'. Hmmmmm.... And also at some point, Wil tells Kvothe to "spit for luck" over the bridge. As Kvothe is leaving for Severen, Elodin tells him to spit for luck
15:58 strong agree on Beladari/Belen connection
32:44 Faeriniel, "a place where all the roads in the world meet". Hmm! Back in NOTW ch34, when Kvothe leaves Denna for University, his parting words are: “I’ll see you where the roads meet.” I take this as foreshadowing that Kvothe is going to run into Denna, quite unexpectedly, in Faeriniel or Fae itself
38:20 Fela's promotion to Re'lar is interesting. Fela is already a Re'lar in NOTW, as Kilvin says, “I owe you a great weight of thanks for pulling Re’lar Fela from the fire today.” I take it to mean that Elodin is using the ANCIENT meaning of the term, "speaker of names", and not the colloquial/academic meaning it has taken on in modern times. Puppet also seems to speak of E'lir and Re'lar in the ancient sense of the words
43:08 Ooo you said, "He has his reasons, and wants us to trust him" for not explaining the shipwreck. I haven't heard that quote before, but I'm not surprised to hear that he's said that. Wrapped up in that bit of fast-forwarded shipwreck is Kvothe tending his injuries and reciting poetry in Junpui. Rothfuss has confirmed that a small part of DoS will be in Junpui and that he's very proud of that piece. Could all tie together!
43:35 Threpe as the betrayer... very interesting! I'll have to inspect more closely
44:22 congrats on the wedding! Best wishes!! :)
Really great points made! Good find about Kote sleeping in NOTW ch 1, so it looks like he does sleep after all!
The wooden ring could definitely be the one that Auri gave him too, I always forget about that ring. Actually I think it would probably make more sense for him to wear that then the one he got in vintas.
Wow very interesting theory about Elodin using the name of the wind to eavesdrop, I never heard that theory! Hmmm with all the examples you gave I think this could definitely be likely. In that case, it's very interesting that Elodin took such a big interest in kvothe from the beginning and has been listening in on his private conversations.
With part of DoS being in Junpui, I wonder if Kvothe has been holding off on telling the story about the shipwreck because it would spoil the plot twist that happens later on when he discovers Count Threpe betrayed him (given that this theory ends up being correct). Kvothe likes to tell a good story, and may not want the betrayal to be too obvious, but eventually he plans on circling back to give details on what happened during the shipwreck and surviving in Junpui.
Also thank you!! 🙌🎉
exactly about threpe. i forgot he told threpe about master ash and at this point i wouldnt be surprised if threpe was a sort of artistically inclined but malicious amyr
This is why I always read the comments at KKC videos, love all these small hints and details. Good job 👏
I think that AMBROSE will kill his father then frame Kvothe for the murder as a final 'got you' to Kvothe or Ambrose will get people to kill Simmon
That's a very good theory (which I had not heard before).
I like the theory, but Kvothe has too much remorse and self loathing for me to blame it all on Ambrose. I suspect Kvothe made mistakes that contributed to Ambrose becoming king and married to Denna.
@@margaretwordnerd5210 Denna would never make such a commitment to anybody, let alone Ambrose...
@@tomaskadlec9534 not willingly, but even someone as elusive as Denna can be trapped by someone with enough power. I forget, is Ambrose from a constitutional monarchy or absolute? Absolute monarchies are as awful as their worst monarch.
This is a very good theory indeed. But maybe Kvothe kills Ambrose's father and now Ambrose is the king. That is also possible. (sorry if i made mistakes, english is not my first language)
I have waited over 12 years for book three, I can wait your astounding summaries for a couple of months. Congrats and enjoy the wedding!
Nice try, spam. You are getting reported. (edit: a fake account commented but then deleted the comment)
Revisiting this video so we may get parts 2 and 3😊
He's pulling a Rothfuss: making promises and not delivering.
Hey, I really enjoyed these summaries about the KKC. I’d like to know when part 2 of the WMF summary is available? Thanks in advance 😘
@capturedinwords will there be a part two soon?
or are we taking our rothfuss time about things?
Jay, this is such a spectacular summary. THANK YOU! I can't wait for part 2, but enjoy your wedding and don't worry about us. We will be here when you return.
Always happy to see your comments! Glad you enjoyed!! Part 2 will likely be up around mid June :)
@@CapturedInWordsi can't wait for June to come! I hope everything is going great for you!
Have you ever considered Braiden to be Baron Grayfellow? That his gentle nature towards Kvothe is because he knows him and wants to help him?
Denna bringing up written magic and the Yllish knots has always stuck out to me. I just feel like there's something there that I'm missing.
When will part 2 and 3 come out? The videos for the name of the Wind were great and so was pt 1 of the wise man's fear!
I was just looking for part 2 and realized it's not posted yet. Hope he does soon.
Congratulations on the upcoming marriage!
And I don't know how I missed all the hints about Threpe being in league with Ambrose until now. Mind blown.
Thank you!! :D
I missed the hints about Threpe for a long too, it was just on my latest reread that i picked up on it
I'll likely come back to these summaries throughout many readings of this series. You've mage such a great resource!
These summaries are tremendous. Can we know when we will get Part Two?
No, you can't... he's leaving you with the "Doors of Stone suspense"
@@eddycorreiasart Bahaha 😂 good one!
3:48
Not only that, it occured to me today that Kvothe's "cloak of shadow" could very easily be interpreted as a "shadow's hame"
Very interesting!! Idk how I never thought of that
Loved your NoTW summary videos.
Thank you so much for doing these.
Looking forward to Parts 2 and 3.
Best wishes from a Kingkiller reader and fan🙏🏽🌷
I'm happy you enjoy them!! 😊
Something that I noticed in the first book is the rhyme from Arliden:
“Like a drawstone even in our sleep Standing stone by old road is the way To lead you ever deeper into Fae. Laystone as you lay in hill or dell Greystone leads to something something ‘ell.’”
“Something something ell” could be Myr Tariniel. This could imply that the greystones are a sort of marker that lead to Myr Tariniel
We need part 2 and 3. Please sir
I honestly don't know what I'd do without you and these little dips back into Temerant, I have such bittersweet love for these books and I hope one day we will finally be able to unravel all the threads ❤️ can't wait for part two
PART 2 PLS!!
Circling around to remind you we need pt 2 & 3
Binge watching all these summaries has been such an amazing time! I can't wait for parts 2 and 3! Thanks for making these, I love hearing the way you retell the story
Fantastic! I've been waiting for this video since the deep dive in to Name of the Wind and it didn't disappoint. I have never considered Count Threpe working for Ambrose. Very interesting -- I'll have to look into that.
I'm glad you enjoyed!! I'm excited to post the next parts in June! I only picked up on the theory about Count Threpe in my last reread, but I'm starting to think that it's very likely to be true
Wow, this is the best summary hands down. And so many great details and theories mentioned!
Someone on Reddit mentioned that different time dates, like Lanre being 5,000 years old and when the Blac of Drossen Tor took place, along with others, don't exactly fit. I'm not entirely sure if this is purely because the information mostly stems from folkoric sources and thus the dates are not the important bit and could be inaccurate, or because Patrick is trying to hint at something else...
I could watch this for twelves hours a day. Inject it into my veins.
kingkiller in my veins im falling asleep
This was a video I needed. I love the world in this story. Patrick should pay for all of this. You have single-handedly kept the story in the minds of countless readers over years of nothing. Congratualtions on your wedding btw. Great video as usual.
I’ve read this book 6 times and still missed many of these connections. Wow! Love this so much
Right on! Looking forward to hearing this since you announced it!
Hope you enjoy! I'm currently working on part two :)
@@CapturedInWords Also, congratulations on the upcoming wedding!!
Also also…I didn’t ever put together the possibility of the Count being antagonistic, certainly not to the point of staging a mutiny and murder. That changes the reading of some things for sure. 😁
@@ltrigga219 Thank you very much!!
I didn't pick up on the clues about Threpe's betrayal for a long time as well, it was on my most recent reread when i started piecing it together and now I'm pretty sure that he was the one who staged the mutiny and was working with that sketchy sailor and possibly Ambrose. There's so many small details in these books, it's a lot of fun rereading them!
I think Ambrose and his family will be killing the people in line for king to make him the heir. Kvothe will either find himself in an ironic position where he is forced to help Ambrose, killing the King and making Ambrose king (obviously book 3 would need to provide reasons to navigate Kvothe into this position) OR Kvothe kills Ambrose once he discovers how he navigated to becoming King.
My thoughts as well!! I think either of those are the most likely options. I think I'd find it most interesting if Kvothe is forced to help Ambrose become king, and it would even be a bigger plot twist if Ambrose has character growth and becomes a better man when he has the responsibility of being king (though that may be unlikely, he is quite the jackass lol).
@@CapturedInWords since it was a shipwreck that took out many in the royal family, it makes sense that Ambrose and his family could have arranged both!
But what's about the person Kvothe kills in the square and cracks the cobblestones(they said it couldn't be repaired) I always thought that it was Ambrose he killed.
36:00 in. I think Puppet is reenacting the story Kvothe was told by Trapis in Tar'Bean. The story that Trapis had some parts very well rehearsed and Kvothe looked at his robes thinking they may be Priest robes. The story of the Origin of Perial, Tehlu, and Encannis.
Who side note: kinda represent Mercy or Love(Perial praying for her neighbors)
Justice(Tahlu giving punishment to set things right, but acceptance after)
And Absolute Evil (Encanis would rather burn than give in to not preying on others)
And we kinda have that being built in the current story with Haliax, Kvothe, and Auri? Idk feel somethings there. Rothfuss likes his onions like his ogres, with layers.
I think the Amyr hid secrets within the religion but the Chandrian corrupted the Church as evidenced by the priest arresting Skarpi; and i think it even alludes to Kvothe mightve seen them getting orders from one of the Chandrian even. I havent read that part in awhile but pretty sure Kvothe sees a cowl shrouded in darkness with no face talking to the priests.
I think Puppet was totally a former master and a watcher in league with Lorian, whos totally an Amyr or friend to the Amyr.
i have yet to see this theory anywhere. Pat loves threes. The books talk about threes all the time. So what we know is there are two realms, the four corners and the fae. what if there’s a third. Lanre is stuck in the four corners as long as people know what he did. what the chandrian did. the third world, through the doors of stone is heaven, lanre and the chandrian want to go there to finally have peace. that’s why they use denna to put out a song that changed his story. but everyone that knows what they really did they go and kill, like kvothes family, and the wedding party for finding the urn.
I love these videos! You always point out so many details that I completely missed during my read and make me want to instantly reread the book!
The only criticism I can manage for these videos is that they make me itch for a reread. Thank you.
wow, that little tid bit of detail/theory at the very end just gave me a "wait... what???" thought.. lol. I have NEVER thought along those lines but when you combine all of the facts you mentioned, that could very well be the case. Wow, that would be sad considering I like that character.
I truly believe that Puppet and Auri are related. They both use the word "telling" in a very similar manner and I am pretty sure it is when Kvothe asks about the Amyr. And because the Underthing is connected to the Archives, I think they are very least in contact with each other.
Very interesting, I've never thought of this before! 🤔 Now I want to do some digging to see if there's any other small details that could point to this
This is the best recap of one of the best fantasy series. Would even pay for this. Keep up the good work!
Hey man, i'm with pat here and we both send you a happy anniversary! Also we'd like to know when will part 2 of this incredible series come out.
Oh look Pat wants to write something! Hi, it's me patrick rothfuss i like writing and playing DND and streaming, hohoho i'd really like a part 2 for this video
Just finished a re-read of these books and it should come as no surprise to myself that I love them even more! Also my first time through I liked the first book better but now I can honestly say I love TWMF’s more!! Thank you so much for making this video and congratulations on you upcoming nuptials!! Much happiness to you and your betrothed! I look forward to your next videos and I yearn for the next book in this series
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! And thank you very much! I have been working on part 2 of my summary for TWMF, so that should be up in a few weeks :) I also yearn for book 3, I can't wait for there to finally be a release date
@@CapturedInWords Jay I found your channel several years ago when I had first read the books and was eager to hear others talk about them. Your content is wonderful and you’ve lead me to other series as well.
I truly savored these books this time through. They are an important part of why I fell in love with fantasy as my favorite genre.
Dont know if anyone will see this, but I'm pretty sure Auri tells Elodin that he has not brought a gift for kvothe, only for her. Elodin points out that Kvothe has not brought him a gift either, but Auri says that Kvothe has brought music, which is a gift to everyone. I think thats why she was cross with him, and Auri sniff and eats the cinnas fruit readily enough, so i dont know if it suggests that she is one of the Belladari.
I love the 45m time stamp, looking forward to the watch, Jay! I ALWAYS learn a bunch of new stuff with all of the theories you talk about. Good stuff.
The question next is what was the song Jax used to lure the moon? Bellweather! A song played on the flute to lure, so simple anyone could play it But played like it was the most difficult thing!
Analyze all of the songs and how they are described in a video please.
This video is 8 months old and there's no part 2?
Come on man, you're gonna make me reread the second book again like this.
Yooo finally An in depth summary for WMF!
As a very new reader,I expect this videos with anticipation
These videos are so well made and so entertaining. I love your content and the lovely community surrounding these books! I treated myself to listening to the two previous vids as well today and I am looking forward to the next one's! Congratulations on getting married (soon)!! Take your time, it is no hardship to wait for these videos, we can rewatch your other videos as we wait :) they are all such treats!!
Thank you very much! :D I'm happy you enjoy the videos!
Thank you so much for these videos, I've read the books many years ago and I want to re read them asap 🙏🏻💜
I'm happy you enjoy the videos! Rereading these books is always fun as each time I notice some small new detial or clue that i didn't before
@@CapturedInWords yes, that happened to me too every single time, I believe that's the magic in those books, the fact that you actually discover new things almost in every sentence, I absolutely adore that ❤️
I’m starting to think rothfuss inspired more than we know and we’ll be waiting just as long for a part 2 :(
you should start a fundraiser and say you'll release chapter 2 if we all donate 10k...
that's was sooo good. it is like I reread the book, but only the best bits. thanks a lot!
Glad you enjoyed!! Part 2 will be up likely in early June
I hope we can get the second part of this summaries soon 💖.
I really like your videos about the Kingkiller Chronicle!
Nice! Filming a Vlog as I go through WMF now. Will watch this as soon as I finish!
In Chapter 99, who are the "beladari", to whom it is offensive to give only one cinnas fruit? This ties in with Auri when Elodin gives her only one fruit in the wise man's fear.
4:00 Bast thought Kvothe learned that Bast went and hired the former soldiers to assault the Inn
Well this is just freaking great, now you're making me want to reread the books again while I already have an enormous tbr
the book is almost here. I am in dire need of part 2. Loved the summary
Great video!!!!
You can do this for other sagas like mistborn.
37:00 and 24:00
Ivare enim Euge - for the greater good. An Amyr phrase hidden in a book written by an Amyr... and also uttered by Auri.
YES thanks I've been wondering if you'd put this out. Loved your first summaries, listened to the audiobook of Wise Man's Fear recently it is just so good.
Really enjoyed the recaps. Hope all is well and part 2 and 3 comes soon...
I think Ambrose is the current king because Kvothe seems to actively dislike the current king. The reference to the Penitent King is because Ambrose inherited his kingship at the university in the Penitent Square.
Well done, love the artwork and visuals. Great job!!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
I would like to find the link for the first image at 0:04.
These summaries are so good because they remind me of how thick with mystery and foreshadowing the books are. I also learn new theories along the way, like Threpe betraying Kvothe, which now that I look at it, has some serious weight to it. Thanks Jay!
38:08. Denna's letter to Kvothe from Yll. Odd capital letter and other odd words maybe spell out "You should have kissed me". YOOSSKSHC "AM" WFF "Kist" ML... that's my 30 second analysis. She was trying to be more clever with it but was drinking.
Do you find it strange that he never wrote to Lord Greyfellow or Abenthy?
Master Ash theories- Manet because it mentions how light he is on his feet, he has been at the university forever flying under the radar as an E’lir
Or Ambrose’s father- assuming he plays the same instrument as his son, has connections with high court and has leverage at the university
My take is that Bredon Not only is Denna's patron but he is also an Amyr and the Angel Kvothe kills (Because it's said that the Amyr were originally "Angels")
I think Bredon is an Amyr as well, and that he is likely Denna's patron. However, the Angels and Amyr are different: At the end of the Creation War, Aleph came to the world of Temerant and offered to change the Ruach into angels. "He touched their hands and eyes and hearts. The last time he touched them there was pain, and wings tore from their backs that they might go where they wished. Wings of fire and shadow. Wings of iron and glass. Wings of stone and blood."
He changed many of them, but Selitos refused the offer to become an angel and instead gathered a group of Ruach together who vowed to seek vengeance and confound the Chandrian. This group became the Amyr. So they're not human and they're not angels, they are Ruach.
Some say Bredon is also grandfather of kvothe?
Wooo! Finally! Ive listened to your summary of NOTW a few times, so much easier than a full reread or listen of the audiobook!
Puppet having fire (candles) in his room would allow him to extinguish fire in the archives using sympathy.
Thank you so much for these. The time and work you put into each one of your videos is incredible and very much appreciated!
Also congratulations!
Awesome story telling, will a video of the rest of the book be done and released before the thirds book?
Excellent video. After a least a 9 year hiatus from kvothes world, you have renewed my obsession with this series. I can handle GOT not being finished but not the name of wind. Keep em coming! Can’t wait for part 2! Xx
Omg congrats dude hope it goes well! Thanx for the awesome video can't wait for the next one!!!!
Thank you!! :D the next one will likely be up in early-mid June
Excellent summary!
I find it weird that the masters seem to have no grasp of astronomy. Even if it isn't known that the moon goes into the Fae, they should have some theories on the subject. Compare a modern student getting the question "What is dark matter?"
Is this relevant? Probably not.
Hi Jay, absolutely love your channel and content! I was just wondering how your book is coming along and if you’ll ever do a video on it? Keep doing what your doing man!
(Also, I’ll be one of the first to buy your book when it comes out!)
Thanks, I'm happy yuo enjoy the videos 😊 My book is going good, though it's been a very slow process! I'm not trying to rush it so it will likely be a handful of years away still before I publish, but I'll definitely make some videos on it as we get closer to the time and I'm ready to unveil some stuff :)
@@CapturedInWords but not making a rothfuss and wait 10 years 😅
I literally started your recap from the Name of the Wind yesterday and started today the audiobook to the slow regard novella in anticipation for the Bast story so this video strikes perfectly :D
Perfect timing! :D
Another detail I love - you seem to have included your own AI art into the videos? It makes SUCH a difference, since it just adds more depth and less repetition! Well done!
Yes I did! Glad you enjoyed it!! I wasn't sure if adding AI generated art would be controversial but I think it just added a lot of variety to the video and helped me include images to better visualize what I was talking about
These videos are the perfect to keep the info fresh when book 3 comes out (and sooner, new Bast book) Thanks a lot!
Knock on wood, but the stories we tell ourselves often become true and hard to change, Rothfuss seems to have been in a state of anxious stagnation for the past decade and this new novella might be him trying to change his story from tragic perfectionist to man who writes stories that are published. Even the greatest lifters start small again after a long hiatus. Perhaps Rothfuss is publishing with progressive overload.
HEEEY!! Congrats on the wedding!!! Have a great time! :D the very best to you n your lady!
Thanks so much! :D
OMG FINALLY!!!! I'll be donating to patreon at the beginning of the month as promised!
Thank you, that is much appreciated!! :D I remember seeing your previous comment about the donation but at the time I wasn't ready to post the video. I'm working on part 2 and am excited to post it likely in early June :)
@@CapturedInWords I have read the book once and listened to the audio at least 7 more times back to back. It kept me engaged because each readthrough there was something new that I would catch.
After watching this PART ONE, I realize I need to go back and read it again. There was so much you pointed out that I never noticed.
Oh my goodness gracious I am so happy you put this video out I’ve been waiting forever in for your king killer chronicle in depth videos these and Quinn’s ideas in depth dune videos are the best out there
After having recently reread The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear, seeing your in-depth summaries of both books are quite a nice perk.
Amazing video as always. The Kingkiller chronicles are so amazing. Just spectacular. Can't wait into part two.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! Been working on part 2 and hope to have it up early June :)
I can't reconcile Threpe gleefully helping co-write the 'jackass' song and him being in league with Ambrose. Maybe I'll be shocked If a third book magically appears.
This video was freaking fantastic! ❤🎉
Jay’s about to tell us that this is a 3 part summary series and then only release the first two
Please please please drop the reminder of this series
Hi there, hello! Thanks for this, NOW WHERE IS THE NEXT PART AAARRRRGHH
Fantastic summary, really took me back to the joy I felt reading it. But more importantly, congratulations!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much!
This makes me sad because it reminds me how intriguing the mystery of the Chandrian is and we may never get any answers.
Great as always
Where's part 2 and 3? Ive just very much enjoyed your other King killer summaries!
At this point, I just go ahead and like your videos before they even start. That said, this was another absolute banger of a video. I can't wait for the next one!
Glad you enjoyed, and I appreciate the like! 👍
I just wanted to say that Captured in Words is my favorite book tuber; you’ve got a subscriber Jay!
Also… Okay, okay, I’ll read the Kingkiller chronicles! I hadn’t wanted to start them because they’re an unfinished series, but I really want to watch all of the theory videos. They are the only captured in words videos I haven’t watched yet, so… I’ll give them a shot!
Also has anyone read the Princess and the Goblin by George Macdonald? It’s a classic tale that I would put up with Tolkien and Narnia any day; I highly recommend it.
I’m assuming part two of this series is dropping when The Doors Of Stone finally comes to us?
