Book Review: The Wise Man’s Fear plus interview with Patrick Rothfuss!

By Brenda Waldrop

Patrick Rothfuss follows up his wildly successful first novel “The Name of the Wind” with this superb telling of “day two” in Kvothe’s story.

To say that “The Wise Man’s Fear” was one of the most superb pieces of literature I’ve had the pleasure to read in some time would be an understatement.  Every one of just under 1,000 pages is suffused with such incredible detail that the reader is instantly whisked away into Kvothe’s world of Sympathy and music, treachery and betrayal, friendship, love, and madness.  The pages practically turn themselves, and if like me you have a day job that requires your presence, you’ll find yourself suddenly realizing that sleep is overrated!
