You know, as much as I think Patrick Rothfuss could pare down his books by a few hundred pages, I didn't really want this one to end. I liked this one a lot better than The Name of the Wind, or I was in a more patient mood. It's hard to say.
Although this is not a fast-paced book, I really enjoyed it, save for Kvothe's time with Felurian, which I felt was dragged on way too long and got boring. Other than that I liked all the changes in scenery, and the different places Kvothe went.
I'm really excited for the third book, which is unexpected, because after reading the first I didn't think I'd continue on at all.

Spoilers I guess
This is a very large book that could be much smaller. I could rant more about Kvothe’s un-likability. But the worst thing in this book is the neck beard redditor fantasy in Felurian. Kvothe escaping the clutches as a virgin from the sex fairy of death is in no way believable, and Kvothe being 16 makes it all the stranger, alongside his time with Vashet, even with the adem cultural norms.
First half of the book was somewhat forgettable
The bandit encampment scene was def the highlight of the book and was amazing. But ya idk man

"A Wise Man's Fear" is an immediate step into a fantasy world where anything can happen. Patrick Rothfuss hooks you up with Kvothe, this mega-talented bard dude, and buckle up 'cause you're in for a wild ride!
So, the story is all over the place, but in the best way possible. It's like trying to follow a butterfly through a maze, but instead of frustration, you're just all kinds of excited to watch a butterfly!
From the mysterious Auri to the elusive Denna, the characters are interesting and keep you intrigued, it's like a high school drama but with way more magic and no homework.
Sometimes the story goes off on these tangents that make you go, "Wait, where are we again?" But then Rothfuss pulls you back in with his fancy words and you're like, "Okay, I'm back on board!"
In the end, "A Wise Man's Fear" is an adventure that's gonna keep you hooked from start to finish. So grab your lute, count your talents, and get weird with some fairies, 'cause this book is the ultimate quest for enlightenment.
