My reading challenge (Around the Year in 52 Books) included the challenge of reading the highest rated book on your to-read list; this was the highest rated one by a long shot. And I can absolutely see why! I decided to listen to this as an audiobook, which worked well for me since I do better listening to fantasy stories for some reason, and I thought the narrator did a rather good job of telling the story and not being over the top distracting with different voices. Patrick Rothfuss is really really stupid good at creating a world and crafting a story. This was so intriguing and flowed well and just really is so well written. I'm not a huge fantasy fan usually but this felt like relatable fantasy (if there is such a thing?). Kvothe is an incredible character and his story is amazing. This is rather long but totally worth it. I can't wait to read the next book and continue on Kvothe's journey, I'm hooked!
