4.0

Likely be a reread, esp once the third book comes out. 

The only negative thing I have to say is the pacing was funny. I thought the book reached a good ending point and there were 500 pages left. Then again and 200 pages left. Then the book actually ended and it felt mid sentence! 

Perhaps the intended effect…

I love Rothfuss’  the writing style, and I find his world building creative and engaging. Refreshing to read high-fantasy that doesn’t rely on egregious systemic sexual violence in order to legitimize itself. My one major critique is that the main character has a very “she’s not like other girls” take on his love interest, which I found annoying and cringey.

Really liked the general plot but felt it was a lot longer than it really needed to be.

A good long fantasy read that exceeded all my expectations! I sometimes get overwhelmed by longer texts and start to get bored, but I never wanted this to end. The world built was detailed and fascinating. It’s the kind of fantasy world that’s just a little to the left of our own, where magic exists, but in a subtle manner. The characters really make me feel a lot. To the point where every time Ambrose showed up, I could feel myself getting all heated up and angry. I don’t enjoy feeling angry of course, but I love when a book can bring out that much emotion in me! The “story within a story” structure was well done, and invites the reader to question the factuality of everything that’s being told. In a way, it’s a deep exploration of celebrity. Does a person’s actions make them a hero, or is it the constant telling and retelling of said acts that elevates them to the heroic? This was an immersive adventure from start to finish, and I had a great ride. I’ll definitely need to pick up the sequel soon. Rothfuss leaves us with so many storylines unfinished, so many mysteries still to solve!
