The Wise Man’s Fear is a beautiful and amazing continuation of a wizard, musician, and legend
with a world called Temerant hidden with mysteries to unravel by Patrick Rothfuss. Kvothe, the
main character, is an innkeeper continuing his life story to a chronicler of learning more about
the Chandrian, meeting a man as rich and powerful as a king, meeting powerful warriors called
the Adem, and finally venturing into the Fae where he meets a sinister, childish woman.
Kvothe’s story is as magical as the first while being much more eventful.
I love this book just as much as the first. While it has more pacing issues and also being over a
thousand pages, the character interactions and tidbits we learn of the world is only more
engrossing. Kvothe and Denna’s friendship and romance feels natural but embellished in reality
as Kvothe gains more power while staying foolish. Kvothe’s story foreshadows consequence as
Mr. Rothfuss’ prose made me learn how prose not only can make your writing stand out but hid
mysteries brilliantly. His prose made me fall in love with the story all over again. As Kvothe’s
story continues it becomes darker and more fantastical as Kvothe learns more about Temerant
on his quest to find the Chandrian. While this book is similar to the first their are sexual scenes
that are not appropriate for children. This book is truly a masterpiece but there definitely should
be an age censorship until you can handle these themes. I recommend this book to teenagers
and adults who are trying to find the next big thing,
