This book has bee one of the greatest reads of the last hundred or more years! With every page we learn more of the world in which Kvoth the bloodless resides and the beliefs of the people whom he deals with.
Beginning where the first book (Name of the Wind) left of: we learn more about his past actions he blames for the recent dangers loose upon the land, we learn the truth behind the fables illustrating him as both hero and villain and his passion for Denna whom rarely shows up when expected.
From beginning to end this book will hook you, for each chapter you advance; it will amaze you and just when believe you know the outcome of events; it will surprise you.
Patrick Rothfus has given us quite a gift from his vivid imagination and the time taken to write this second book was well worth the wait for his readers. If anyone loves a fantasy book rich with detail, humanity and real story telling then this novel is for you.
Kvoth is the man many wish they were, the man many hate to become and someone to aspire to in so many ways.. Yet he is still human
