About this listen
'He's bloody good, this Rothfuss guy' George R R Martin
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-read 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-read for all fantasy fans. Readable, engaging and gripping THE WISE MAN'S FEAR is the biggest and the best new fantasy novel out there.©2011 Patrick Rothfuss

Critic reviews
I just love the world of Patrick Rothfuss (Lin-Manuel Miranda)
He's bloody good, this Rothfuss guy (George R R Martin)
Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous (Terry Brooks)
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)
Hail Patrick Rothfuss! A new giant is striding the land (Robert J. Sawyer, award-winning author of Wake)
Jordan and Goodkind must be looking nervously over their shoulders! (Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times-bestselling author of The Dark Between the Stars)
The great new fantasy writer we've been waiting for, and this is an astonishing book (Orson Scott Card, New York Times-bestselling author of Ender’s Game)
What made the experience of listening to The Wise Man's Fear (Part One) the most enjoyable?
This book will amaze you, intrigue you and I promise you will be left wanting more. Not only is it very well written but as an audio book it flows and memorise your ears, leaving your brain to truly visualise the words. It brings together the mythical, man and intellectual desire in such a wonderful story.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wise Man's Fear (Part One)?
I was listening to this in Afghanistan and just as the hero is finding kindness and life saving help in the cellar the alarm goes off and we have to react. Fate I thought!What about Rupert Degas’s performance did you like?
Rupert's voice has a depth that brings to life the characters, it's reassuring yet full of subtly. I love listening to him, so much so it has influenced my choice of audio book.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely, I brought part two and can not believe there is not more.Any additional comments?
I don't normally write reviews but this is not only a wonderful book, surprising me as I had no idea about it when I brought it but I was and am hooked. I am on my second session in case I missed any nuances on the first round!Unexpected Brilliance

My favorite series

The narration is great and the world building goes far beyond the physical description of places with believable social and cultural prejudices.
This particular book sets you up for the series, forget Harry Potter and Hogwarts. Patrick Rothfuss makes magic seem normal, not magic at all really, but more studious learning of gifted young minds at a University.
The only downside to buying this is that you will shortly be joining me in the hunt for other top series of the same quality whilst waiting for the next book to be completed!
A real hidden gem,I really can't believe I hadn't heard much more about this before doing so much hunting!
Fantastic book, great series in the making
