Hell yeah. I haven't looked at the blog today thanks for the update. Right on I am stoked as well.Originally Posted by teahupoo
I do not do book signings never have. Never cared about that kind of crap but I am almost tempted to go to one of the signings. Rothfuss is the literary equivalent of the band Tool for me.
Lots of discussion on this one here:
Excerpt from Patrick Rothfuss' The Wise Man's Fear.
I've got a copy of it myself.
That was a great review of NOTW btw Rob. Are you planning on doing one for TWMF as well? I was surprised you didn't review Shadowheart your eloquence might help attract readers to the genius that is Tad WilliamsLots of discussion on this one here:

Thanks for the kudos 3dI, I realized it was the incorrect link, here's the real Wise Man's Fear thread in the forums:

Review written and done for Shadowheart, will be posting soonish.
For those who enjoyed The Name of the Wind, you can go ahead and pre-order The Wise Man's Fear. It's everything its predecessor was, and then some!
If you weren't thrilled by Rothfuss' debut, then you need not bother with volume 2. Style-wise and plot-lise, there is likely nothing that can win over readers who were not that impressed with TNotW.
In terms of style and tone, both novels are pretty similar. So I doubt that The Wise Man's Fear can satisfy readers that weren't enchanted by the first one. But for fans of the author, it should definitely scratch that itch!

I've already preordered it
High Fives Pat, Rob and Teahupoo. Amazing how waiting for a book or an album almost makes you feel like a kid again.For those who enjoyed The Name of the Wind, you can go ahead and pre-order The Wise Man's Fear. It's everything its predecessor was, and then some!

Finally, one of the new books ive been waiting for is finally here. Can't wait.
I already have it pre-ordered, along with The Crippled God. Potential for two amazing books on the same day...gotta love it.
here is my theory,
I bet master Ash is cinder as well but on my second reading of TWMF I noticed this passage from Shehyn: "But at this time they were themselves, the women and men fair and strong. They sang songs of power and fought as well as Ademre do."
what caught my attention was this she spoke of the people who sang and fought at the same time, they fought as well as the Ademre and sang. this tells me two things Kvothe will have to learn to fight and sing while he fights the the chandrian. This looks to be his best option to killing cinder. This also says songs have power as well as names, something to think about!

My theroy,
while re-reading the TWMF I noticed a somthing said by Shehyn "Once there was a great realm peopled by great people. They were not Ademre. They were what Ademre was before we became ourselves.
"But at this time they were themselves, the women and men fair and strong. They sang songs of power and fought as well as Ademre do."
this tells us two things Songs Have power like names, thus why Kvothe's family was all killed off.
Second this also says that Kvothe will have to learn how to sing with power and and fight to kill the chandrian / Cinder-
tell me what you think!
Oh, do you like Tool? Weird :P
I've never been to a book signing before. How do these things typically work? Does B&N let you bring your own book or are you supposed to grab one before the signing begins or what?
