The Wise Man's Fear (also The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day Two) is a fantasy novel written by American author Patrick Rothfuss. Its he second volume in The Kingkiller Chronicle.
It was released in 2011  and it is the sequel to 2007's The Name of the Wind.

A review from goodreads:

*

"“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” 

My name is Kvothe. 

I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trehon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.

You may have heard of me.

So begins the tale of a hero told from his own point of view — a story unequaled in fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man's Fear, an escalating rivalry with a powerful member of the nobility forces Kvothe to leave the University and seek his fortune abroad. Adrift, penniless, and alone, he travels to Vintas, where he quickly becomes entangled in the politics of courtly society. While attempting to curry favor with a powerful noble, Kvothe uncovers an assassination attempt, comes into conflict with a rival arcanist, and leads a group of mercenaries into the wild, in an attempt to solve the mystery of who (or what) is waylaying travelers on the King's Road.

All the while, Kvothe searches for answers, attempting to uncover the truth about the mysterious Amyr, the Chandrian, and the death of his parents. Along the way, Kvothe is put on trial by the legendary Adem mercenaries, is forced to reclaim the honor of the Edema Ruh, and travels into the Fae realm. There he meets Felurian, the faerie woman no man can resist, and who no man has ever survived...until Kvothe.

I´ll give it a 9 out of 10

I LOVED part one a lot its just...its an epos - its a book every phantasy book lover must read and the second one is just as nice ^^

First of all I really recommend re-reading Part I if it has been a long time between I and II ^^ I didn´t

I enjoyed the story of Kvothe once again very much ;) All the characters are very nice and I really felt like being a part of the story somehow ;) I hope you all know what I mean.

I´ve read in in german so unfortunately can´t say too much about the original writing style, but I did like the translation I read by Jochen Schwarzer and Wolfram Ströle.

Its a thick book and many pages to read and yes I have to admit there are a few you have to get over where the story is indeed a bit slow, before it gets exciting again but thats okay its not bad ^^

Anyways ;) I cant wait to get to part two of part two ;) and I am constantly hoping that Part three of the series will be out soon...finally .

Some more inspiration?

well you really have to know which series you are going to want to continue ^^

Its not really possible to share some ideas what to read for #3

But I´d love to read some recommendations for which series are really worth it to start to read;)

Which book did you choose for this category?

Or maybe a better question ^^ Which series are you continuing and is it worth it?

Did you read The Name of the Wind and its sequels and what did you think?

With lots of love
