Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

"[Rothfuss is] the great new fantasy writer we’ve been waiting for.” Orson Scott Card, New York Times bestselling author, praise for the author
“In low tones, author and narrator Patrick Rothfuss takes listeners through the unique ins and outs of his fantasy world. Auri is an ethereal being who has a highly empathetic relationship with animate and inanimate objects. A tiny green light named Foxen is her constant companion. Rothfuss projects a fatherly love for Auri as his pace quickens during her moments of joy and slows during her reflective periods. His voice lowers to a reverential hush when she finds a home for a lost object in the maze of underground passages she inhabits. This quietly musing story requires patience but proves worthy of listening as Rothfuss embellishes each exquisite moment.” AudioFile
As seamless and lyrical as a song... This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Reminiscent in scope of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and similar in feel to the narrative tour de force of The Arabian Nights, this masterpiece of storytelling will appeal to lovers of fantasy on a grand scale. Library Journal (starred review)
It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words.... Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes...he'll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song. Ursula K LeGuin
The Wise Man's Fear is a beautiful book to read. Masterful prose, a sense of cohesion to the storytelling, a wonderful sense of pacing.... There is beauty to Pat's writing that defies description. Brandon Sanderson
Patrick Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous. Terry Brooks
[Rothfuss is] the great new fantasy writer we've been waiting for, and this is an astonishing book. Orson Scott Card
As with all very best books in our field, it's not the fantasy trappings (as wonderful as they are) that make this novel so good, but what the author has to say about true, common things, about ambition and failure, art, love, and loss. Tad Williams
This is an extremely immersive story set in a flawlessly constructed world and told extremely well. Jo Walton, Tor.com
It is the best book I have read it years, fantasy or otherwise.... The world is so deep, the stakes are so high, the characters so real, the mysteries so magical, the magic so mysterious, the plot so twisty…every day you haven’t read it is a day in your life that could be better. Hank Green
This fast-moving, vivid, and unpretentious debut roots its coming-of-age fantasy in convincing mythology. Entertainment Weekly — eloquence quotes
