I started this book before I joined the group. It's the second book in a series and so far I'm loving it. It gets a bit sluggish in the middle but Rothfuss is an excellent writer. Can't wait to finish it and find a blue book as well. I love that this site gives you some direction so now I won't have to amilessly try to pick out books.

Yeah, a friend sent me The Name of the Wind and I let it sit on my shelf for a year like, 'pfft, stupid fantasy.' Then, finally, I picked it up and read it in 3 days, and made the fastest turnaround from The End to Bookstore to find the sequel since I first read LOTR in the mid-90s.

Im choked that it's gonna take a few years for the next one.

It's funny how books are like friends you meet in passing, sometimes finding an unexplainable urge to get to know them better, sometimes excusing yourself from their company with a smile and polite wink. We may never understand the combination of fate and coffee that bring us to revisit one or the other, opening with a quirky story and ending with tearful eyes and a heartfelt hug.

I haven't read this yet - despite owning it - because I convinced myself that I really ought to reread The Name of the Wind before starting it. I don't think I was wrong, but I got bogged down in the *exact* same place as I did the first time I read that first book; I finished the first 2/3 - 3/4 (up to when he plays for his pipes, or thereabouts) in about a day and a half, and then I stopped reading it entirely. According to pattern, it'll take me two months to finish the damn thing out. It's incredibly odd. But I hope to get to this soon? Your enthusiasm might be the push I need to get to it.

I didn't have trouble with the first one but the middle of this one is going a little slow, and I feel like he's dragging out some events way too long. Good Luck on finishing the first. I'm too far in to stop now!
