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?,”

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”

“When social forces press for the rejection of age-old Truth, then those who reject it will seek meaning in their own truth. These truths will rarely be Truth at all; they will be only collections of personal preferences and prejudices.”
