The best epic fantasy I read last year.... He's bloody good, this Rothfuss guy. <b>George R. R. Martin, author of The Song of Ice and Fire series</b> <i>The Wise Man's Fear </i>is a beautiful book to read. Masterful prose, a sense of cohesion to the storytelling, a wonderful sense of pacing.... There is a beauty to Pat's writing that defies description. <b>Brandon Sanderson</b> As seamless as a song...this breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence. <b>Publishers Weekly, Starred Review</b>
