I still want to know where/how Kvothe's father learns enough about the Chandrian to write a song that must have been accurate enough for them to kill him and his troupe. Seems suspicious to me...

Missed opportunity:

Someones channel is making entirely the wrong sort of videos..

[oussamabsn]

We need more of these.
I would like you to talk about Auri’s gifts to Kvothe please. The key that opens the moon, the wooden ring that keeps kbothe’s secrets, the coin that would keep him safe at night, the candle and the green coin.
I do think that some of them are Chekhov’s gun waiting to go off, especially the key.

Thanks for all the KKC videos, they’re very entertaining. I wish you the best of luck ❤️
May all your stories be glad ones, and your roads smooth and short.

The idea of the Chandrian going around YT demonetizing videos about them is hilarious.

[rohanmanro]

The Chandrian song that you put in the beginning of the video was amazing Jay!

Rothfuss is a master of maintaining suspense, I got to appreciate it by the end of The Name Of The Wind. The Hallowfell mystery was one of the best mysteries I have ever read! I will soon check out the Subreddit.

Dude there was so much information packed into this episode I had to watch it twice through to even absorb it. Excellent work!

[xeossage]

KKC video!! That was a lot of effort put into even the sponsored content. Your videos are top-notch from start to finish

[zwadstheiguana]

The idea of the Chandrian resorting to methods such as copyright striking videos to erase information about them in the internet era is just so hilarios. I just imagine Cinder arguing with people online like "No no no! The Chandrian don't exist! Shut up! I know where you live kid!"

I know we all want the Third Book, but the fact that there are still things I haven't found after 3 re-reads and over 3 years is why KCC is my favorite book series. Awesome Video!

Ben wasn't there when the seven attacked, how could I have forgotten until now that Ben left the troop alive, and with possibly the most knowledge of what was in the song, I didn't remember that until this video.

[brandoningraham]

Your videos are an incredible quality. I love the content and always watch with my finger on the space bar to read and re-read the concepts you present. Thank you for the pace of your videos. Others would take 45 minutes to communicate what you did in under 20. Keep up the great work!

[josesilva-kvfs]

I think it’s a crime your channel doesn’t have 100, 000+ followers. This an amazing video!

0:32.. the music here feels magic to me..where shall I find a full version 😅😅😅

[DoctorAdhesive]

The etymological breakdown of "Haliax" is just... *chef's kiss*. Didn't even consider that!

[davidyoung]

Love seeing new videos about a 10 year old book. This channel keeps me going while waiting patiently for book 3. Thanks!

[whynotdean]

12:03 "The desire for knowledge shapes a man", what if it was closer to "The thirst for knowledge deformed a man"?
It would serve as both a warning to students, and a reference to Lanre who was destroyed by his desperate desire for knowledge and became the first Rhinta (Rhinata).

[Santi-tokq]

I just noticed that Abenthy could be an Amyr, since during all the years he spent with the troupe while Kvothe's dad was gathering information about Chandrian they never appeared. In fact, they didn't appear even when he sang part of the song in front of the troupe, Abenthy included.
So it's quite suspicious that the Chandrian only appeared when Abenthy was not there anymore, and never attacked him even though he had also heard the song.
By the way this same argument could also mean Denna could be an Amyr or at least related to them

I just started my first Kingkiller reread and these videos help me find hints all throughout the story 😍
