Yes for sure! I loved it. Its like game of thrones and harry potter combined. The only thing is the third book is still not out and it could be a while until it is.
Great book, but he is slooooow to finish the series. Think George RR Martin slow.
Yes
I wasn’t too impressed with it, myself. At least not as much as I expected. Still a great book, though. Everybody else loved it so I guess it was just me lol.
I would wait I’ve read it and liked it as well as the second book but he has not released book 3 5 plus years now. I would discourage reading it until it’s out unless you want to be mad lol
Ugh! I have tried reading this book 3 times. My friends keep reccomending it to me. Maybe it’s just not the right time yet. Idk, but I just can’t get into it.
Loved it ❣️
I liked it well enough to read all available in the series. I didn’t think it was the best thing ever like a lot of people do, but certainly enough to put in the time to read 2 fat books.
I really liked it, but I wouldn’t be in a rush. We’ve been waiting for the 3rd book for a while now (the 2nd was published in 2011)!
One of my all time favorites!!
I’ll probably have to read it and the second again before the third comes out. ?
@Ashley I’ve read them both three times now. And Slow regard is brilliant
Definitely! It’s my all time favourite book.
the caliber of this writing! i just love the first two and agree with all the other comments above. every few months i go to Patrick’s site to see if maybe….. starting to think he and George Martin are just too buddy buddy and all….
I know a lot of people who swear by it, but I haven’t really had a chance to get into it myself
THE VERY BEST – if you don’t read it, you will question all of your life choices from now on…
YASSSS
one of my favorite book(s) (also Wise Man’s Fear) ever!
And a short story from one of the characters, A Slow Regard Of Silent things, is probably one if my top favorite books of all time. Absolutely beautiful. And heartbreaking.
I’d definitely recommended! I ❤ Kvothe
Absolutely! I love it and the writing style is brilliant – he has an incredibly loyal and patient following, we’ve been waiting for the third book for 8 years now ? He finished it about 5 years ago and then stated he wasn’t happy with it and was starting again. Definitely give it a go.
Someone described this series as “Harry Potter with student loans”, which is not wrong, but I really enjoyed it anyway. Looking forward to the 3rd book.
I couldn’t finish it.
Fabulous!
Yep!
Loved it. Wish he’d hurry up with Book 3 though, the slacker.
I liked the first 2 quite a lot.
Yes, yes, and yes. All the best elements of fantasy, accompanied by beautiful prose.
I loved it and the second one too. But when oh when will we get the third book?! A good audio listen for long car trips if you need one!
I bought it used at the library book sale for a book club this year , it came highly recommended.
Yes, yes, yes and the one that follows it.
