Drat. Now I have to wait until the third instalment's out. ( ) Definitely a strong continuation of the series, but I'm not sure that it was as much as I'd been hoping for. I think it's possible I was hoping for too much though. I guess I am just afraid that Rothfuss doesn't know where the series is going... EDIT: Reread May 11, 2012 Great the second time around as well. There is a lot riding on the third book, I think. If it's not good, this book will probably be far more frustrating in retrospect. That being said, if all books were like this, I would probably never stop reading. For our book club, I'd picked The Name of the Wind as I wanted to try what was being purported to be a great fantasy novel. Gave it 2.5 stars because it just didn't go anywhere. Another club member upon his turn to pick a book chose The Wise Man's Fear, the second installment. I reluctantly agreed and found it to be just as long winded and rudderless. Make no mistake: Rothfuss can write. But being a good writer and being able to tell a good story are clearly two different things. There's really little story between the two books. I got halfway through this one and just had to call it quits.
Rothfuss takes to the Hero’s Journey with a passion and depth that routinely turns the trite into the transcendent. Rothfuss works all the well-worn conventions of the genre, with a shadow cloak here and a stinging sword there and lots of wizardry throughout, blending a thoroughly prosaic prose style with the heft-of-tome ambitions of a William T. Vollmann. This is a great big book indeed, but not much happens—which, to judge by the success of its predecessor, will faze readers not a whit.

Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero as he attempts 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 the Edema Ruh, and travels into the Fae realm where he meets Felurian, the faerie woman no man can resist.
