  The longest fantasy series ever written. Take all Stephen King books, throw in the entire Harry Potter series, and it's still shorter than the Wandering Inn. I just gave up on the series after book 4. I felt the original main character wasn't getting enough screen time, and didn't really like the newer characters as much.

  Ok it's a bit longer, only a little bit.

This sounds like a great series and one I'd definitely be interested in. Rothfuss (even more than Martin) has me shying away from starting another, currently unfinished, series.

  It's a lot more likely that you will get tired of The Wandering Inn before you catch up to present than that you will run out of source material, I think

  I no longer care for kingkiller's book 3, TWI has fixed my craving for it.

Started reading it one or two months ago, still on book 6. Enjoying it a lot, even installed Read Aloud to have text to speech and listen to the stories while doing some household chores.
