The Wise Man's Fear | Patrick Rothfuss

Excellent follow up to The Name of the Wind. Now I‘m stuck with my friend who recommended these, waiting for book 3. Love the journey, fae and Kvothe‘s internal and external battles. Kvothe matured and learned so much through this segment of his story, but I felt letdown with more questions along with the Chronicler toward the end.

I‘ve lately been having an unusually difficult time finding a book that both grabs and keeps my attention, so I relied on my TBR Jar to help send me in the right direction. I pulled “a book that is outside your comfort zone” and figured I‘d let the library gods do the rest. This chunkster - 722 pages in this format 🫣- was on the FREE FOREVER rack! I am only on page 75 but am loving it…fantasy isn‘t always easy for me but so far this is amazing!

Soubhiville One of my favorites. Only problem is the third book in the trilogy isn‘t out, and it‘s been 13 years since book 2… 4mo
ItsAnotherJen I looooove loooove these books! I've given up hope that he'll release the 3rd. 4mo

This story does not bring you back to Kvothe‘s world, but provides a glimpse into Auri‘s. It develops her character by following a week of her life during the time she knows Kvothe, although never mentions him by name. In Rothfuss‘s afterward to the book, it sounds as if Auri was revealing herself to him as much as his readers. Shorter than I expected when I picked it up, a quick read.

Wonderful story. Looking forward to reading more of this saga. Some cool pictures of depictions of Kvothe (Quothe/Kote) and Auri a friend of mine has. The book is as hard to describe as Kvothe‘s love for Denna. After a battle with some unusual creatures and a chance encounter, Kote begins to tell his story of growing up; making his way as a respected performer with his family, to being a lost, lonely youth, and his growth overcoming adversities.

As much as I usually love Rothfuss books, this one just didn't hold my interest. I found it hard to see where the story was going and for this reason it was close to being a DNF for me. I did stick it out though reluctantly. 2.5⭐️ and feel that is generous.
A lot of people liked this one. I'll just call it as not my cup of tea.

I‘m still hoping to finish one more book today, but I‘m okay calling my top read of the year. Obviously, it‘s the tagged book.

I read some great books this year and some mediocre books. But I‘m happy with my 2023 reading.

Another fun Rothfuss novella, but not the third book of the Kingkiller Chronicle 🙂

Thank you B&N … I love Bast! And this is my first Rothfuss autograph. I hope to listen tonight while I work. Yes I have the audio too. 😁♥️
