I hate it!! It just ended and I am so mad that there's no book 3 because this was incredible and I need to know how everything ends!! I waited years because this series wasn't finished and that drives me crazy but it kept almost being spoiled so I finally caved and it was wonderful BUT IT JUST STOPS WITHOUT RESOLVING ANYTHING!! If this book and this series wasn't great I wouldn't be this upset but its been like 13 years at this point and there's still no release date.

It's beautiful and the writing is like poetry and sounds incredible read aloud and I love the characters and there's magic and adventure and romance and mystery and yes I recommend this novel.

God what was this book! I love it more than the first one, and the characters are so amazing and captivating (love Kvothe), and I'm so curios to see what's gonna happen within the story and in the present time. Hoppefully Kvothe can make it till the end...

I really like this series. Honestly. I thinks it's different, well rounded, has excellent world building and Kvothe, the main character, is an arrogant, self embellishing egomaniac which is great, better than most self depreciating heroes who bore me tears. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was 200 pages of him ploughing a fairy. Leave out the sex and give me more fighting. Apart from that great and ended on a irritatingly good cliff hanger.

Another 5 star book, but 4.5 stars for not even attempting to have an ending.

I absolutely love this series. I enjoy the poetic style of the writing, including the wordplay and the connections Rothfuss draws between magic, music, and love. Read this in two long sittings across a 36-hour period, and didn't want to put it down. Can't wait for the third book.
