A review by cultneophyte7
The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss

4.0

Took a whole long week but it’s finally finished! Normally, I read books in a single go but with this series it has been different, reminding me of the time when I started the Templar trilogy some five years ago. Well, I really liked this book. I had expected this book would feature the definite last of Kvothe at the university by the mid – he would be expelled or leave forever. That not happening is good in a way as I kind of loved the University part, yet again. I was a bit disappointed towards the middle during Kvothe’s travels, though. The parts featuring The Maer, the bandits and the Adem were a little bit lackluster as compared to the rest of the book. I also had expected more of the Chandrian but I guess will have to wait for the next book for them. And Kvothe finally does discover sexuality and women, a vital thing lacking in the first book. While lovely ladies are always a welcome sight, I just didn't like the way things work in this world. Also, I would have loved if it had been more about Denna. Overall, I enjoyed reading the book almost as much as I did The Name of the Wind. Now to procrastinate and wait more than a year for the concluding volume to come out.
