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!

vittorioseg's review

It was such a downspiral of uninteresting suffering and lukewarm victories. I just felt stressed out when reading it and I realized that I was forcing myself to continue because of the hype. And it didn't live for it. The character didn't came as witty or intelligent. The world didn't come as fleshed out. And the prose was, for me at least, nothing to write about. I just couldn't enjoy this book, at all.
