Despite the fact that I LOVED this book, I think it wasn't as good as the first. Mainly I think it's because the storyline ventured a bit and seemed to drag in some places. Other than that, it was incredible writing as always. Can't wait to read the third one!

I liked this book, but not quite as much as the first one (and for what it's worth, I even really liked The Slow Regard of Silent Things). The story moves along just fine at the beginning, spanning the time at the University through Kvothe's trip to the trip to Severen, but beginning with the Fae and continuing on into Ademre, the narrative momentum really drags. The descriptions are great, mind you, and there is quite the fantastic world being constructed, but in some sense you need to write a Lord of the Rings before you are entitled to write the Silmarillion. It's entirely possible the payoff will be worth it in the end, since a lot seems to be slated for book three, especially the killing of a king who has yet to appear in the books, but the story as of now is a bit out of balance for all of its technical prowess.
