It's not just that it's not the main plotline..

Tap for spoilerThey never go past friends, despite all their flirting or whatever that is. And they obviously don't end up together since it's just him and bast at the inn

That is very true. I probably was not in right headspace to be recommending anything.

Not a proper recc

I think it's a great rec. Rothfuss's style is amazing and everyone should experience it. (And more people need to feel the pain of knowing they'll never get to read the end :p) It's true that it doesn't fit with what op wanted, but well... They just need to go into it with the proper expectations so as to not be disappointed.
