The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss

4.0

Having loved the first book, I was extremely excited to begin this one. Overall it is a good book though not as good as the first one. Despite being longer I still enjoyed it and had trouble putting it down at times.
However there were times that I felt some of it could have been cut out, with parts feeling like kvothe and Patrick rothfuss were just meandering about and not really doing anything.
Another thing is this is supposed to be a trilogy yet it doesn't seem that this book added a whole lot to the overall plot. It's going to take a lot to cover everything and tie all the ends up in the next book unless he wants to make it more than a trilogy.
Despite these gripes, I still enjoyed the book immensely. There were a lot of exciting moments that happened and it kept me entertained. Most importantly it has me hooked and wishing for the third book.
