~Potential Spoilers~

Yes.

More please.

The sequel of the Kingkiller's Chronicle is just as incredible, fast-paced, and tantalizing as the first. I read the 1000 page book in three days. This was partially because I was procrastinating on a big midterm paper, but also because the book was just too good to set down.

Patrick Rothfuss has this incredible ability to tell a fascinating, quickly unraveling story.. all the while never moving the plot, which would be frustrating, except he does it so well that I forget the plot hasn't moved until I finish the book.

That's the point where I searched desperately for the third book and... found that it hasn't been written yet. I've taken a two week break from books because my heart needed mending.

Dear Patrick Rothfuss,

Please. I need more.

love,

Me.

I have heard a lot about this book not being as good as the first, I disagree. I honestly think it was better than the first. You get to experience a little more of Kvothe's world and see how his chaotic future begins to unfold. Kvothe somehow becomes more charming and more arrogant and more mature all at the same time. Rothfuss's character development skills are out of this world.

Rothfuss needs to seriously publish #3 because the suspense is killing me.

As someone who exclusively does side quests and never completes the main story of games, this book was right up my alley.

No plot, just vibes!
