This is the best fantasy book ever written. Period. The use of language is enchanting, the story twists and turns, always keeping the reader interested, and there is not too much odd language or strangeness.

While needed to fully understand the story, the first 100 pages drag and are confusing. Instead of putting the 700 pages down, skip to chapter twenty and read from there. If you do, I'll promise you will go back and get the beginning of the book later. If Rothfuss never writes another book (and two more are due in this series) he has created a masterpiece.
