Maybe I'm just hyper-sensitive to the Special Redhead trope, but...Special Redhead! (Said as she clutches her dogeared copies of Nova and Tamora Pierce's Lioness books to her heart.)
But I would say, if asked to summarize, that this post isn't about Patrick Rothfuss, and maybe not even about your work, either (though I will say that I started reading your work with The Broken Crown and was sucked in utterly. And I'm glad I read Hunter's Death before Hunter's Oath), so, I have to thank you for sharing your perspective, because it sounds to me like you are right, but I don't know that this wisdom is often spelled out in so many words--or at least, I don't read the blogs where it is. So thank you, since you have given me much to think about, as a reader and as an aspiring published writer.
