This is a truly great fantasy book. It takes a while to grow into the story but then it is brilliant. The system of magic is clever and well developed and the characters are engaging. It has everything, a hero, villain, love interest, mystery, intrigue and so many hidden clues and hints. I spent a day searching for the "seven words that make a woman love you". I love the story and the writing style. Patrick Rothfuss is clearly a highly skilled wordsmith with an imagination to match. To be honest, this book and the following "wise mans fear" could be the best fantasy novels I have ever read. But, the reason this has only 4 stars, not five, is that the story is not completed. There are only 2 books or the "supposed" trilogy. At this stage there is a real chance it my never be completed. So if you don't want the share the frustration of not having the answers to the many story lines developed, I suggest you don't start this series until you know it is finished.Read full review
