The Wise Man's Fear

"Still hooked on this series and still patiently waiting for “Doors Of Stone”"

"Beautiful prose but did not love Kvothe the main character. Too much of a Kvothey Sue."

"Excellent continuation"

"Well written but this book had no purpose. It accomplished exactly nothing"

"Reread<br/><br/>Nothing compares to this tale. Even as Kvothe finds his place in the world you have a sinking feeling in your gut. I know without a doubt it will end in destruction but I can't stop reading. As with the last book I could not rush this story even though I wanted too. It needed to be read at it's own pace. Pausing every chapter or two, to reflect and cherish what I read seemed natural to me.<br/><br/>Patrick has a way of stating obvious things but in a way you've never thought of. I found myself nodding along and understanding things in a different light. Kvothe is such an amazing character to get to know. He is so gentle and modest. No matter how many people tell him of his kindness and bravery he doesn't believe them. I think this is one of his greatest strengths and weakness. I very much felt the same as Kovthe and the Ruh in him needing to travel, but it's also nice to have a home. His story is packed with adventure and new places, I was happy to follow along to my own peril.<br/><br/>"Say it." I looked down at my feet. "I know nothing about alchemy." Sim nodded, seeming pleased. "Right."<br/><br/>Bast is also an intriguing character. He is so wild and unpredictable. Hilarious at times and then turning on a dime full of fury. Bast whole life is shrouded in mystery and I want to know it all. Definitely check out The Lighting Tree by Patrick Rothfuss if you want a little more insight. As scary as Bast is I can't believe Kvothe tricked him into making stew haha. <br/><br/>"I HATE BEETS." -Bast<br/><br/>Still my only problem with this seires is naming places not on the map. I even found a better map for the 10th anniversary book AND STILL not every place is on it. Yeah yeah I know I'm nitpicking but I just want to get an idea of everything's where abouts. o(╥﹏╥)o<br/><br/>My heart just grew so warm reading this book. Kvothe after all of his struggling and barely getting by he finally is getting some things he deserves. It makes me so happy and I realize now how much I have invested in this story. As though Kvothe is an old friend and I love him dearly. At one point he even skipped over his trip but still told you clues that sounded so interesting I wish I could have heard the whole story. *pouty face*<br/><br/>I am very drawn to Kvothe and Denna's relationship they seem fated. It's as if no matter which life they lead even if they go to the ends of the earth they will find each other. Drawn. They will break my heart into a million pieces I just know it. I just feel a kindred spirit shared between the two, a steel thread tied between them both. It will not end well I'm sure but I can't be sad because they will always find each other again. In this life or the next.<br/><br/>She looked up at the sky and drew a long, deep breath."I've always liked moonless nights best. It's easier to say things in the dark. It's easier to be yourself." -Denna<br/><br/>I thought the Adem were very condescending and simple minded. Got sick of the barbarian thing really fast. Even thought they had very good takes on life it seemed that if you didn't lean their way you wasn't fit to breath the same air. Almost like religious cultures today. The people in Vintas were also so ignorant it was comical. Believing arcanist summoned demons to do there work lol. *sigh* This is why I appreciate that Kvothe takes the time to learn the truth about life as I feel the same.<br/><br/>"I was one of those. I meddles with dark powers. I summoned demons. I ate an entire little cheese, including the rind." -Kvothe<br/><br/>My favorite character is the natural born leader types. Kvothe has a way of making everything fair but does not step down from a test. He is brave, honest, kind, and strong. He also prides himself on discovering secrets of the world and not just believing all the rubbish you hear. Learning with Kvothe and the complexity of the Admere language was eye opening. I very much enjoyed the signing along with speech. It made the language much more complex and deeper still. This story teaches you to be more open to new things. They might not be all that they appear at first glance.<br/><br/>Even if the story dragged which wasn't often I still enjoyed the company. Following Kvothes life opened my mind. I even doubted him at one point and after regretted it immensely. I found it fascinating the way Patrick described the feeling of being overpowered and something breaking inside. It's hard to describe but the anger in it all, of knowing you don't deserve this and the forces of the world surround you in your aid.<br/><br/>This seires has become a dear friend to me. I'm always on the verge of annoying myself because it's all Iv talked about for the past month. I FINALLY LEARNED THE SEVEN WORDS OH MY GOD! And many other things besides.<br/><br/>The story is so complex when you think you have a grip on the world you learn something new that adds even more depth. The way Patrick Rothfuss writes a simple emotion such as kindness in the bleakest of heartbreaks brings tears to my eyes. I cannot count the times I cried over something so simple as a tender smile.<br/><br/>When he returned home from his journey it felt like Narnia. Like he had been gone years but nothing changed at all in the real world. He had grone older wiser and everyone else stayed the same. It was also clever how the author would intentionally leave something out of the story you could only hint at maybe thinking he forgot to mention it only later to hear it come up in a casual conversation. I could honestly write a book about how this story moves me. This will and always will be one of the greatest stories I have ever read. I cannot wait for book three. Luckily I have the next short story to feed my growing hunger for this world.<br/><br/>Listen to reading music ambient study music atmospheric music for studying by Just Instrumental Music"

"If possible I loved the characters even more inthis book than I did I'm the first. I have been eagerly awaiting #3 for YEARS "

"It was good but the 3rd book will never come out."

"Absolutely! His books are well written and pull you in within the first 10 or so pages. "

"A wonderful sequel, one that does not suffer in the slightest from the middle-child-syndrome that often plagues second installments. Still waiting for book three though…"
