Reddit mentions of The Wise Man's Fear (Kingkiller Chronicles, Day 2)

the second book is out by the way, A wise man's fear it's just as good as the first book, can't wait for day 3!

Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss (they're parts 1 and 2 of a trilogy, respectively).

Rothfuss writes an incredibly engaging story. The trilogy is about the rise and fall of one of the greatest heroes in a fantasy world, and it couldn't be more personable or interesting.

Also, everybody needs to read some Diana Wynne Jones in their life. She's an amazing fantasy author who's often dismissed as a children's author. Think JK Rowling if JK Rowling studied under Tolkien and were a much, MUCH better storyteller. Howl's Moving Castle is probably her most famous novel (it was turned into a Studio Ghibli movie a few years ago), but the Chrestomanci series is great too.

Chronicles of the Black Company - Only a 30 pages into it But it's good so far, written sort of Journal like. Not much Fluff, which i like.

Just Finished The Wise Man's Fear Really enjoying that series, but not looking forward to wait times on the next novel....

The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. One of the better fantasy books to come out for a while in my opinion.

EDIT: also recommend the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks

By the way, I'm currently reading this book after absolutely devouring the first.

The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfuss

The Pale King - David Foster Wallace

The Informationist - Taylor Stevens. This last one is my friend's first novel. She's already getting excellent blurbs from some writers in the genre, and I'm immensely proud of her.

Okay, thank you for not inducing twitches purposefully. Hopefully I will recover, on a positive note, The Wise Man's Fear comes out tomorrow, I can't stay depressed for long.

I hate lines, that's why I preordered from Amazon.
