There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man. 
 I am deceased. This is the second book in the Kingkiller Chronicles and if you would like to know more about my love for this series, you can check out my review of The Name of the Wind. 
 The only non-spoilery thing that I can tell you here is that I am utter trash for this series. It's one of my favorites, if not the favorite. It is absolutely mind-boggling to me how quickly Patrick Rothfuss managed to lure me in and charm me with his authentic world, elaborate magic system and loveable characters. 
 Moreover, his writing style improved so much, and I am just so impressed with his intricate choice of words which set him apart from other fantasy authors I enjoy, and the pictures he paints with his narrative. I thought that the second installment was even better than the first, and so I rated this 4.5 stars (I had to take off half a star because I wish there was no romantic subplot at all... but what can ya do). 
 I am currently working my way through the vast amount of annotations I made whilst reading, so a spoilery book talk or some crackpot theories for Doors of Stone will be coming soon. ;) 
 Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love a thing despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.
