### ★★★★★ Best in class book, worst in class author — r-s-curtis
This book has some of the best prose in fantasy, a compelling narrative and perfectly flawed characters.  The sequel is even better and unfortunately, thats where our journey ends as Rothfuss seems to have zero intention of ever finishing this series.  A true loss for readers.  
Still, this is worth the read if only to be enfolded in the warm embrace of fantastical escapism.
