Preceded by: [The Name of the Wind][1]

In The Wise Man's Fear, Kvothe searches for answers, attempting to uncover the truth about the mysterious Amyr, the Chandrian, and the death of his parents. Along the way, Kvothe is put on trial by the legendary Adem mercenaries, forced to reclaim the honor of his family, and travels into the Fae realm. There he meets Felurian, the faerie woman no man can resist, and who no man has ever survived...until Kvothe.

Now, Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.

Scattered thoughts:

- The Vintas section (around 600 pages) dragged on horribly. Kvothe became even more insufferable after his encounter with Felurian. Few characters were particularly interesting and the work with the Maer did little to solve any mysteries. Some progress would be nice... Training with the Adem was similarly stretched out. Every character I've grown attached to is at the university, which made things even worse. Realising how long this part was makes me feel my rating may be overly generous.

- I'm sick of Denna. The mystery surrounding her is interesting, but her encounters with Kvothe and his subsequent thoughts are not.

- I'm pretty bored with the Ambrose rivalry.

- Whilst I don't want every mystery wrapped up quickly I'd like some progress. Rather than solving some mysteries and uncovering others, it feels like mysteries are just being piled up. Perhaps I've just forgotten the more minor …

I feel that this book is slower than The Name of the Wind, perhaps due in part to Kvothe's adventures, perhaps in part due to a number of stories-within-stories, and perhaps in part due to the fact that this is a middle book.


The plot doesn't advance much from The Name of the Wind. Kvothe leaves the University to reduce the University's liability, and essentially traverses one quest after another. Kvothe experiences some growth, and I expect that growth to drive the third book's plot development. But don't read this expecting to receive any answers to questions raised in the first book, and expect frustration at more questions when you finish.

Overall, this wasn't as enjoyable for me as The Name of the Wind. I kept reading, hoping the book's pace would pick up, even as I was looking forward to finishing the book so I could …

I have finished the second of three parts, third to be published. This book was nowhere near as good as the first, which is a shame. There were long stretches of sheer nothing, to the point where the book was probably about 20% too long. What's worse is, and I'm going to try to give nothing away, a potential exciting portion was glossed over in favor of parts that sucked the life out of the narrative. I'm giving 3 out of 5 only because the good parts are really good. Hoping the final installment has an editor with a bit more sway and a story with a bit more drive.

Second book of [b:The Name of the Wind|186074|The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)|Patrick Rothfuss|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1270352123s/186074.jpg|2502879]. We still follow Kvothe in his story: he first takes a break semester to try to get a patronage (and monies). He also learns how to use a sword and how to fight. There's a pretty weird moment in the middle of the book that lasts for a 100 pages or so which made me like this book less than the previous one. It's still very, very good - but now I need to wait for the third one. Damn it.

An absolutely awesome book! A huge chunk of my Christmas holiday was dedicated to reading this book. And even though I wasn't a fan of the part about the Felurian, everything else was excellent. Now I'm joining hordes of people waiting patiently for the next book..... :)

An okay book that manages to go nowhere after 1000 pages. Kvothe learns to fight and... other stuff. Then he ends up right where he started, but not as poor.

None of the questions brought up in the first book are answered. That, and the Felurian chapters just about ruined the whole book; since after that, Kvothe apparently feels obliged to hump everything that moves (thankfully in PG-13 detail, at least).

And Denna. Enough with her. I wish she'd just kick the bucket already.

Again, some of my favorite parts are the short stories the characters tell around campfires and whatnot.

On the bright side, when the third and final book comes out next year (?), it should solve all of the mysteries that haven't been solved yet. Right? Maybe?

This was a very good book. I was reading the first book as this one was being published and went straight into reading this book. I went from years of not reading to reading 2000 pages in relatively short order (couple of weeks) and came away very satisfied. It might have been wise for me to pace myself a little more though.

Don't read this book until you read the first book. Then you won't really need me to tell you whether or not you should read this book.
