The Wise Man's Fear (Kingkiller Chronicles #2)

The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss is the second book in his Kingkiller Chronicles.

In this second volume, Kvothe continues to give his story to Chronicler. To describe the plot would likely give away too much and I do not willingly include spoilers.

The Wise Man's Fear maintains the feel of the first book, The Name of the Wind. Rothfuss has complete knowledge of the world he has created and how players move through it. If feels as complete a world as Pern or Tortall. His characters are whole and their depths are slowly revealed as the story continues.

Fantasy readers will devour these first two books and wait impatiently for Rothfuss to write more of Kvothe's life.
