The Wise Man's Fear

What’s there to say about The Kingkiller Chronicle that hasn’t been said? It’s awesome fantasy, very traditional in some ways but also quite creative in its world-building and characterization. Sure, Kvothe is a bit of a Mary Sue, and sure it’s been something like 1500 pages and I’m not even sure when the adventure properly starts, but as a picaresque fantasy journey of spells, swords, and songs, it’s unmatched. A great book for any fan of the genre.
