review 1: I read this without having read the first book. I thought it was something other than the fantasy that it is. That said, it's best to read these in order. It's a complex world and there is much work to get one's footing. It's fantasy, but has some nice, original ideas in it and was worth the time I took to finish it. There are some passages that I could do without. The one huge continuity flaw I found was in such a passage...I won't describe it in detail, but it's the kind of action that feels like filler and really does not tell us anything...and very common to fantasy writing. If it were a movie, they'd have fun filming it but it would probably end up on the cutting room floor.
review 2: This second story starts right where the last left off with all of the f... moreirst book's adventure, intrigue, sorcery and emotion. And that continues all the way to its blockbuster finale.These books have a classic feel, like I'm reading Treasure Island all over again.Everyone raves about Patrick Rothfuss and deservedly so. After reading his first book I thought seriously about reading the next right away but changed my mind.On the other hand, these stories I am DEVOURING. I cannot wait to find out what happens next! less
