Review
Praise for Patrick Rothfuss:
“As seamless and lyrical as a song… This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence.”

“Reminiscent in scope of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series and similar in feel to the narrative tour de force of The Arabian Nights, this masterpiece of storytelling will appeal to lovers of fantasy on a grand scale.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing…with true music in the words…. Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes…he’ll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song.”
—Ursula K LeGuin
“The Wise Man’s Fear is a beautiful book to read. Masterful prose, a sense of cohesion to the storytelling, a wonderful sense of pacing…. There is beauty to Pat’s writing that defies description.”

“[Rothfuss is] the great new fantasy writer we’ve been waiting for, and this is an astonishing book.”
—Orson Scott Card
“As with all very best books in our field, it’s not the fantasy trappings (as wonderful as they are) that make this novel so good, but what the author has to say about true, common things, about ambition and failure, art, love, and loss.”
—Tad Williams
“This is an extremely immersive story set in a flawlessly constructed world and told extremely well.”
—Jo Walton, Tor.com
“It is the best book I have read it years, fantasy or otherwise…. The world is so deep, the stakes are so high, the characters so real, the mysteries so magical, the magic so mysterious, the plot so twisty…every day you haven’t read it is a day in your life that could be better.”
—Hank Green
“This fast-moving, vivid, and unpretentious debut roots its coming-of-age fantasy in convincing mythology.”
—Entertainment Weekly
