The Wise Man's Fear

by Patrick Rothfuss

Book 2 in The Kingkiller Chronicle

If you love fantasy that treats music, language, and reputation like forms of magic, this is the big, messy middle volume people still argue about. It is not tidy, but it knows exactly how to make a story feel dangerous to tell.
