![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() By the end of The Wise Man’s Fear we reach the end of the second day. So Kvothe gives it to him in the span of three days. However, due to a keen eared traveling chronicler, he is found and the man wants his story in full. The main protagonist of the story, Kvothe, is quite possibly the greatest legendary figure in song or story but is in hiding and presumed dead. The entirety of the tale is told like a story, and almost plays out a bit like the Princess Bride, just not the comedy aspects. Broad themes will have to suffice: Both books are parts of a planned trilogy called the Kingkiller Chronicle. To recap The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fears is a bit much, but to give a general background to the story and setting is too little. The Wise Man’s fear corrects this and takes the events of the first book up a notch. The story was more than excellent and a ten out of ten, but it just lacked a little pace. My main concern with the first book was its pace. The Wise Man’s Fear takes place directly after his debut novel The Name of the Wind ( my review here) and it doesn’t miss a beat. “The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.” And I broke that silence with a slow, powerful applause. ![]()
