Before anything, I'd like to say that even though this blog is written in English, I recommend you to do as I did and read the books I criticise in their original language (if you can). This way you'll like them much more and you'll find astute word games and double meanings which will help you read the book in all of its potential.

The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfuss

Criticism

This book, the second of the triology of "The Kingkiller" is a book as good as the first one (The Name of the Wind) and it lets you wanting to read the third and last book as soon as possible. It is written in the same genre as the previous one and, although the end may be a bit dissapointing, it is a book that has to be read if
you like reading. There is not a single part of this book that may seem boring and it makes you empathize with the main character from the beginning to the end.
It is very exciting and it contains a lot of action; but it is also very subtle and tangled, making it necessary to read it from the first page to the last with curiosity and enthusiasm. It is a book which is written in a way that, from my point of view, resembles or is even better than lots of the famous writers that I've read like Dan Brown, Harper Lee or J.R.R. Tolkien. Its stile contains a small resemblance to the writers I've previously mentioned but is also original and more personal; and deffinately something difficult to find.



Resume

In this book, Kvothe has to go away from university and he travels to help a very important man, hoping that he'll be his patron. There, surprisingly, he finds Denna once again and they get closer to each other than ever before, but chance separates them once again and Kvothe will have to go in an extraordinary adventure in which his abilities, knowledge and obviously fame will grow considerably.
