DESCRIPTION:
Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes…he’ll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song.” Ursula K. My name is Kvothe.I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. “It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing…with true music in the words…. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.You may have heard of me.So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literaturethe story of a he
How about I post that up as a list? Q: What are you reading now?A: Right now I'm reading Capacity, by Tony Balantyne. I used to go to the local bookstore and look at the paperbacks on the shelf.

After that my mom gave me Ihe Hobbit and Dragonriders. I picked it up and got pulled right in. There were three natural breaking points in the story. Q: Who are some of your favorite authors?

I couldn't reconcile the importa. Young Adult fantasy-too much protagonist as a bare chested young man & not much else. Entertaining but ultimately unsatisfying If you typically give most young adult fantasy 5 stars, you'll probably like this. It has elements which probably most teenagers can relate to in the "coming of age" genre. The story line overflows with "wise mentors".

I started Pillars of the Earth, and a few other books that held absolutely on appeal. I am sure I'm missing on a masterpiece but I can't seem to quench my hunger so I heard a lot about The Name of the Wind and my hubby had finished reading it and loved LOVEd it - they said it had more magic, and was far less gory and simpler than A Song of Ice & Fire (Game of Thrones book series for you TV lovers! :)), well, not only does it not
