The Wise Man's Fear- Patrick Rothfuss

Boy, does Pat Rothfuss know how to spin a tale? If the third one is as good as this one, I am almost not going to mind waiting for a long time. This one is much, much more mature than "The Name of the Wind", as is Kvothe. The storytelling is not pathbreaking by any stretch of imagination, but the way the Author tells the story is fantastic. Yes, the book is too long and doesn't work like a novel and leap forward in resolving the book's central crisis, but you hardly notice these small quibbles, when you are rush headlong in the flow of the story. In fact, for over a week, I couldn't think of anything else but the book. Now, it's time for a headlong dive in to "The Crippled god"
