Reviews

In 2021, Rothfuss apologized for the long delay in releasing The Doors of Stone, citing issues in his personal life and his mental health as reasons. [21] [22] [23] The books [ edit ] Siegel, Tatiana; Kit, Borys. "Comic-Con: Fantasy Novel 'Name of the Wind' Sparks Heated Bidding War (Exclusive)". Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved 25 November 2015. In 2012, Rothfuss sold three other books to his publisher, DAW. [26] He has discussed a standalone novel, centered on a legendary figure in the world, with the working title The Tale of Laniel Young-Again. [27] The project was two-thirds complete when it was shelved to focus on The Doors of Stone. [28] [29] In other media [ edit ] Film and television [ edit ] On August 18, 1648, with no relief from the siege in sight, the royalist garrison holding Colchester Castle surrendered and Oliver Cromwell’s army firmly ended the rule of Charles I of England. To send a clear message to the fallen monarch, the rebels executed four of the senior officers captured at the castle. Yet still, the king refused to accept he had lost the war. As France and other allies mobilized in support of Charles, a tribunal was hastily gathered and a death sentence was passed. On January 30, 1649, the King of England was executed. This is the account of the fifty-nine regicides, the men who signed Charles I’s death warrant. Recounting a little-known corner of British history, Charles Spencer explores what happened when the Restoration arrived. From George Downing, the chief plotter, to Richard Ingoldsby, who claimed he was forced to sign his name by his cousin Oliver Cromwell, and from those who returned to the monarchist cause and betrayed their fellow regicides to those that fled the country in an attempt to escape their punishment, Spencer examines the long-lasting, far-reaching consequences not only for those who signed the warrant, but also for those who were present at the trial and for England itself. A powerful tale of revenge from the dark heart of England’s past, and a unique contribution to seventeenth-century history, Killers of the King tells the incredible story of the men who dared to assassinate a monarch.

Killers of the King by Charles Spencer - book review: A

Kit, Borys (2016-04-12). " 'Kingkiller Chronicle' Finds Its Writer (Exclusive)". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved 2021-08-02. Those regicides – or tyrannicides, if you prefer – who had survived the interregnum were firmly in the new regime’s sights. A judge’s instructions to the jury in a trial of 1660 left little room for clemency. He reminded them that “you are now to enquire of Blood, of Royal Blood, of Sacred Blood ... This Blood cries for Vengeance, and it will not be appeased without a Bloody Sacrifice”. Spencer’s attention to the gruesome sights and smells of hanging, drawing and quartering is cinematic: throughout, he shows an eye for the details, gory or intimate. In 2002, Rothfuss entered and won a Writers of the Future contest, which led him to a workshop with author Tim Powers. [8] This eventually led him to meeting his agent, who helped Rothfuss revise the first third of the story—now entitled The Name of the Wind—and sold it to DAW, [9] which published the book in March 2007.In July 2013, 20th Century Fox optioned The Kingkiller Chronicle for a TV series. The production team included Arnon Milchan, Andrew Plotkin, Brad Weston, and Robert Lawrence. [30] Two years later in October, the rights to the books expired and were reverted to Rothfuss. [31] [32] At the same time, Rothfuss announced that Lionsgate would be involved in adapting the series through a film, TV series, and video game. [32] Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda was attached to serve as executive producer of the television series, along with John Rogers, Jennifer Court, Robert Lawrence, and Rothfuss, with music composed by Miranda. [33] [34] [35] [36] Showtime began developing the series as of October 2017 but ended their involvement two years later in September, causing the rights to return to Lionsgate TV, which is shopping it around.
