Starred Review. As seamless and lyrical as a song from the lute-playing adventurer and arcanist Kvothe, this mesmerizing sequel to Rothfuss's 2007's debut, The Name of the Wind, is a towering work of fantasy. As Kvothe, now the unassuming keeper of the Waystone Inn, continues to share his astounding life story—a history that includes saving an influential lord from treachery, defeating a band of dangerous bandits, and surviving an encounter with a legendary Fae seductress—he also offers glimpses into his life's true pursuit: figuring out how to vanquish the mythical Chandrian, a group of seven godlike destroyers that brutally murdered his family and left him an orphan. But while Kvothe recalls the events of his past, his future is conspiring just outside the inn's doors. This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence, and will leave fans waiting on tenterhooks for the final installment.
It was May 1st when I finished reading Name of the Wind.  Knowing I have become a slow reader I am almost surprised that I read this 994 page book in 21 days!  My thumbs will be forever sore holding this book up!
As we all know I stink at "reviews" which is why I always use the review from Amazon. But I will say a few things about the book...
Once again: short chapters! (gotta love Rothfuss for short chapters!!)
Once again: absolutely beautiful story telling. 
If I said this book was worth the long wait everyone had between book one and book two then he might take that long to write book 3...so I won't say that.  Actually, I can't say that.  I bought Name of the Wind a few  years ago and didn't read it.  I wanted to wait for book 2 to be out.  At that time I didn't realize how long it would take for book 2 to come out!... but I had them both and read them back to back.  A worthy feat!  However, now I wonder how long before the last books comes out!
The protagonist, Kvothe, is definitely someone worth reading about.  Not always easy to say when I tend to feel this is a "man's book" but written in such a way that a woman can enjoy it just as much. Enjoyable enough that I really wish we only had one year to wait for the next book!
In the end I'll just say that if you liked Name of the Wind you will like Wise Man's Fear, no doubt about it.. it's an extension of book one!! 
Patrick Rothfuss is one very fine writer!
I Googled for  Reviews of Wise Man's Fear because the book deserves real reviews!:
