The Wise Man's Fear

About The Wise Man's Fear

For readers who are fully inside Kvothe's story and want to spend even more time in Patrick Rothfuss's unhurried, immaculately crafted world. Kvothe continues his time at the University, survives an assassination attempt, learns the Adem fighting arts, and has his most dangerous encounter yet with forces that may be connected to the Chandrian. At over 1,000 pages, this is Rothfuss at his most expansive — sometimes maddening in its tangents, but often transcendently beautiful. Best for devoted fans of The Name of the Wind who want to live inside the story.
