The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
5.0
Merciful Tehlu, what a read!
On the second day of his storytelling, Kvothe reveals as much about his life in the University as about his journey eastwards, after things going south enough to earn him notoriety.
This is a book of a man making as many mistakes as he can manage, recognising them, and, finally making the best out of them in order to achieve maturity.
P. Rothfuss assembles bits of his best ever prose to weave this masterpiece of a novel, guiding us through a pivotal time of Kvothe's life. A time in which most of the rumors and legends took shape, as well as changed a dozen shapes through oral tradition.
Arriving to the last page, many mysteries remain unsolved and a couple more are added to the long list, creating a personal concern about the author's huge amount of work for the third and last book. The certain thing is he is taking a hell of a time to embelish the final installment, maintaining the hope that it will be more than suitable an ending to an epic soon-to-be legendary written piece.
