_The Wise Man's Fear_, Patrick Rothfuss.

Sequel to _The Name of the Wind_. Must be read in order. Very long. Did not seem long at all. Full of story: the framing story, which we shall say is the present; Kvothe's autobiography, which is his past; the stories which are occasionally told by people in his autobiography; occasionally the stories which are told in those stories.

As with the previous volume, contains a prologue which is the same as the epilogue, but means vastly different things in each place. That's a really good trick.

I do not see how he can finish this story in one more volume. I look forward to whatever Mr. Rothfuss writes.
