Yes, I had to think about it for a minute before I even came up with "Tim Rothfuss". He used to be a household name, and then he just stopped writing. Idk what his deal is, but he did say once that he's envious of Sanderson's writing speed. I guess it takes him a long time to write a book, and it seems like he either got burned out, or ran out of ideas. I felt like he took some ideas from Jordan in the 2nd Kingkiller book. I met him once, walking around on the floor at Emerald City Comic Con. He seems like a cool guy. He spent like an hour talking to my sister at his booth after I ran into him. It's a shame that I think you're right. It doesn't look like he'll ever finish that trilogy.
