I liked this book but I didn’t love it the way I did The Name of the Wind. I definitely could have done without the pages and pages of adolescent male sexual fantasy. Being neither male nor adolescent it was totally lost in me. ( ) 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. Not bad for what it is. I have a burning hatred for how much time is spend pining over the main love interest, but c'est la vie. The world is expanded upon, which is nice, but I can't help but feel the protagonist is just too good at just about everything. I would still like to read the conclusion, but at this point, I highly doubt it's coming. It is a good series so far, but it drags a little. The character of Kvothe is a little ambiguous. I am not sure what to make of his character. He is usually a stand up character, but in little ways of lying and certain actions you see a character that has a dark side. I will definitely keep reading the series, but at this rate I wonder if it can be finished up in three books or 12+.
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.
