Summary

Sequel to the extraordinary The Name of the Wind, The Wise Man’s Fear is the second instalment of this superb fantasy trilogy from Patrick Rothfuss.

This is the most exciting fantasy series since George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and a must for all fans of HBO's Game of Thrones. Picking up the tale of Kvothe Kingkiller once again, we follow him into exile, into political intrigue, courtship, adventure, love and magic...and further along the path that has turned Kvothe, the mightiest magician of his age, a legend in his own time, into Kote, the unassuming pub landlord.

Packed with as much magic, adventure and home-grown drama as The Name of the Wind, this is a sequel in every way the equal to its predecessor and a must for all fantasy fans.

Engaging and gripping, The Wise Man’s Fear is the biggest and the best new fantasy novel out there.

Brilliant Series. Hoping for part 3

This novel and The Name of the Wind are brilliant and beautifully narrated. Hoping part 3 does make it into the world. I really want the last instalment.

Amazing can't wait for the next. The narrator is brilliant and will be looking for his other work due to the quality.

Wish this book would never end

A fantastic continuation of the series, voice over performance by Rupert Degas is THE best performance on audible.

What a story!!

I love the depth of detail that goes into the world Rothfuss subtly creates, the characters and their nuances, and the challenges Kvothe faces throughout the book. The narration is outstanding, each character brought to life individually. Can’t wait for the next book!

Unreal performance

Great fun - though not as strong as the first book, the whole package as an audio book is a delight.
