I'm burning out on this book, Ruocchio, you have to show me something original soon or I'm gone

The last 80 pages or so haven't been directly ripping off the Kingkiller Chronicle the way so much was previously in the book, but it IS clearly inspired by it and Ruocchio isn't doing enough to either hide that or to make it his own. You could tell me this section was from a sci-fi fanfic of Kvothe and Denna and I'd just be impressed at how close it matched Kvothe's voice.

Another section lifted almost directly from Book of the New Sun!

Holy shit, this paragraph is lifted straight from Shadow of the Torturer almost verbatim.

Yeah man, I've read Dune, the Kingkiller Chronicle, and Book of the New Sun too.
