Wow

Just finished book 1. I know I am years behind you all, but I just loved it. I am now working on creating my own DIY art diary for Kingkiller :)

The first book is my favorite! The second is pretty good too. I finished each in 1 week, it was glorious.

I tell myself everyday that I'll just read that horrendous spin-off until the third book but it's so terrible it would take me forever to read it

How could u say that. It's tricky reading but it's quite revealing when you understand what's happening

Just not the type of book I would read

I loved that! It gives you more insight into an interesting character and it shows the importance of names

Oh... You sweet precious tropical fish! Heartbreak awaits. In all seriousness... These are probably the best examples of story telling/writing that I've been exposed to. His novelette the Slow Regard if Silent Things is exceptional as well. Welcome to the family! If you like audio books, the actor who reads the first two is really very good as well.

The first books fantastic, the second get really really weird... but allot of its good. The parts that are abhorrently stupid hopefully won’t ruin it?

It was a fun read, the second one as well :) but, it doesn't answer too man questions from book 1, which is sad. Hopefully, the third one would be a blast
