You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way. Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.”
With a page count of over 600, this book looks like a commitment. Open it, though, and it is an adventure. A quest from childhood consumes the life of the main character - but what is it, really? Is he really the main character, or only the protagonist? Rothfuss, himself an established historian, takes us on an adventure far beyond the best-loved fantasies into an experience which is sure to fill the imagination, and the dreams, of his readers for many, many nights to come. The page count? I grabbed the sequel the night I finished this one, and it's twice the length! If you love adventure, Fantasy, or just a great story, this one is a must-read.
“What’s new?” is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and fashion, the silt of tomorrow. I would like, instead, to be concerned with the question “What is best?,”
