However, Rothfuss has spent the decade or so since then refuting the idea of there being a further series or sequel. Logically, unless Rothfuss was planning to end the series with "and everything sucks now, kthxbai", the story was going to continue in a sequel series which addresses the problems set up in the first few books. After all, The Name of the Wind opens with a present-day storyline in which the world is clearly in chaos and darkness, and then the bulk of the trilogy unfolds in flashback and explains how events led to that impasse. Patrick Rothfuss released the first book in the trilogy, The Name of the Wind, back in 2007 with a lot of pre-publicity about how the trilogy was already complete and also with the intimation that the trilogy was merely the start of a larger story.
