I found this to be very interesting with loads of in between and around the bend stories that are very entertaining

very interesting

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Only a few stories that were worth the listen, it felt like George R.R Martin threw a lot of them in as filler.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Best thing about the book was the Lightning tree story by Patrick rothfuss, which is all about Bast from the kingkiller chronicles. Which was awsome by the way!
Which to be fair was one of the main reasons for me buying Rogues.

Did George R. R. Martin do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

George R.R Martins spin off story from the world of game of thrones felt more like a timeline then an actual story, rather disappointed.

Do you think Rogues needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I feel it was a good idea, but the majority of the stories didn't quite cut it. Maybe if it was all spin off stories from a particular genre it could work.

Any additional comments?

Yes more Patrick rothfuss stories please

Just ok..
