### ★★★★ (Untitled) — kristin

### ★★★★★ Love the book, dislike the author — r-s-curtis
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.
