About this deal

Sequel to the extraordinary THE NAME OF THE WIND, THE WISE MAN'S FEAR is the second instalment of this superb fantasy trilogy from Patrick Rothfuss. This is the most exciting fantasy series since George R. R. Martin's A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, and a must-read for all fans of HBO's GAME OF THRONES.

Picking up the tale of Kvothe Kingkiller once again, we follow him into exile, into political 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 its 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.

Its a good book, not as good as the first BUT don't get invested in this trilogy as its been 13 yrs since this was written and we are no closer to book 3.

They are both stunning but the author really is taking his sweet time on the third there are also rumours of a TV series which is a double edged sword. Need to read this again.

Great book, but yeah, Patrick needs to pull his thumb outta his butt and release the third!

Where is book three! Really enjoyed this... Like 10 years ago now...

Also the UK cover got the short end of the stick - traced Darth Maul with odd head stitched on AND he's wielding his sword backwards? What were they thiiiiinking!! (edited)

We need book three. I feel like the little girl in Leave the World Behind

The first two books are beautifully written and it's an incredibly well thought out world but we're probably never getting a third one.

Some of the murmurings from Rothfuss make it seem like he knows he's written himself into a corner by making Kvolthe so insufferably perfect and establishing him as an unreliable narrator so late would undermine the series too much.

I actually think a finale that involves an 'unraveling' of Kvothe would be really ideal, though. It's not quite a 'It was all a dream' copout or anything, so could still work and make people rethink the whole story in a contemplative way.

Anybody here ever play Braid and remember the story and ending sequence in that? That was great. (edited)

There are plenty of good book series that are actually complete, no good starting this and never getting to finish it.

If people stopped buying these books maybe Rothfuss will run out of money and he will be forced to release the third book.

Don't do it to yourself! Still waiting for book 3
