Love the book, dislike the author

Unreliable narrator, cool magic system, a world that feels lived in and beautiful prose. If you like any of these, you will like this book. I will say however, Rothfuss never delivered book three and I don't think we will ever get it. Enjoy the journey but don't expect a conclusion.
