I like this one more than the first one. Kvothe is more grown up and less annoying. ( ) 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.
