From Winter Is Coming today (5 Nov. 2020), quoting Spanish site Los Interrogantes quoting Patrick Rothfuss:

“I need to make you all really aware of the possibility that he does not win.”

"And it’s really hard to go against that, because every fantasy story, every movie, most everything you’ve consumed in your story diet. Of course you win in the end. And the thing is, it doesn’t matter what actually happens. If I don’t make you aware of that possibility, I’ve failed as an author. I need to make you acknowledge the very real possibility that this is it. That there is no happily-ever-after for him. Otherwise, all you’re doing is waiting for the happy ending. And I don’t want you waiting for something. I want you to be afraid."

What are y'all's thoughts?

Personally, I like this! Although KKC ranks in my top 5 series of all time, much of my enjoyment drives from my interpretation that Kvothe is a reckless, arrogant little shit. Kvothe is just likeable enough for me to enjoy his story; at the same time, I'm aware that he's too blind to the Chandrian, the Amyr, and angels all around him to actually emerge victorious. TL;DR: I have long predicted/hoped that KKC ends with Kvothe failing cathartically. 

FYI, I don't know why Winter Is Coming published an article today that summarizes a Spanish article from over six years ago. Smh?
