Product Description

Product Description

Sequel to the extraordinary Name of the Wind, The Wise Man's Fear is the second installment of this superb fantasy trilogy from Patrick Rothfuss. Picking up the tale of Kvothe Kingkiller once again, we follow him into exile, into policital 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 it's 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.


About the Author

Patrick Rothfuss had the good fortune to be born in Wisconsin in 1973, where the long winters and lack of cable television encouraged a love of reading and writing. After abandoning his chosen field of chemical engineering, Pat became an itinerant student, wandering through clinical psychology, philosophy, medieval history, theatre, and sociology. Nine years later, Pat was forced by university policy to finally complete his undergraduate degree in English. When not reading and writing, he teaches fencing and dabbles with alchemy in his basement.

4.0 out of 5 stars Misinformation....., 6 May 2009
By Mr. P. Metcalfe (Gosport, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Wise Man's Fear: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Book 2: The Kingkiller Chronicle 2 (Paperback)
The delay on this book is not due to the publishers moving dates.
The main error has been the publishers/publishing house giving the wholesellers a date in the first place.
The book has not been finished, on his own blog page Patrick has gone to great lengths to explain why and apologise for the upset this "delay" has caused (this being despite it not being his fault we were given the damm date in the first place).
He's just trying to make it the best possible book he can, give him time, I know I'm willing to wait.... ( within reason ;) )

5.0 out of 5 stars Why not to be patient?, 20 Jun 2009
By R. Monclus Domenech "Roger MD" (Catlonia, SPAIN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Wise Man's Fear (Hardcover)
Hi everybody, I enjoyed so much with the first book of Patrick that I prefer to give him the time he needs to write the book he wants instead of receive a standard fantasy book. The genius needs their time.
Calm down and enjoy waiting while you read other standard books.

4.0 out of 5 stars How long must we wait?, 5 May 2009
By Ms. B. Jordan "beckiejordan" (cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Wise Man's Fear: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Book 2: The Kingkiller Chronicle 2 (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book if this series, and have been eagerly awaiting the next installment for far too long. I think the publishers are making a big mistake on holding back and stalling the release date of this book. I fear Patrick Rothfuss will become overlooked as a strong, accomplished fantasy writer due to the bad planning and marketing from his publishers. If any of them read this, please sort it out soon.
