The Wise Man's Fear continues the mesmerizing slow reveal of the story
of Kvothe the Bloodless, an orphaned actor who became a fearsome hero
before banishing himself to a tiny town in the middle of Newarre.
The readers of Patrick Rothfuss's outstanding first book, The Name of
the Wind, which has gathered both a cult following and a wide readership
in the four years since it came out, will remember that Kvothe promised
to tell his tale of wonder and woe to Chronicler, the king's scribe,
in three days. The Wise Man's Fear makes up day two, and uncovers enough
to satisfy readers and make them desperate for the full tale, from
Kvothe's rapidly escalating feud with Ambrose to the shockingly brutal
events that mark his transformation into a true warrior, and to his
encounters with Felurian and the Adem. Rothfuss remains a remarkably
adept and inventive storyteller, and Kvothe's is a riveting tale about
a boy who becomes a man who becomes a hero and a killer, spinning his
own mythology out of the ether until he traps himself within it.
