P*trick R*thfuss& #39;s books are just Twilight For Men, and I say this with great love for both series

They& #39;re both

~compulsively readable
~unnecessarily long
~feature an MC the reader can graft themselves onto
~said MC is unaccountably compelling to the people around them...

~Twilight: brooding cultured dream vampire love interest. Name of the Wind: manic pixie dream Denna love interest
~both include a school narrative as a backdrop for the real story, and you wonder how the MCs can possibly be passing their classes

~both MCs are navigating worlds of strange lore in pursuit of arcane powers

Honestly the main difference between the books is that Twilight has a plot

OH I ALMOST FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT

~one has a sparkly vampire, the other has a sex fairy
