Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Patrick Rothfuss:

"As seamless and lyrical as a song... This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Reminiscent in scope of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and similar in feel to the narrative tour de force of The Arabian Nights, this masterpiece of storytelling will appeal to lovers of fantasy on a grand scale."
—Library Journal (starred review)

"It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words.... Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes...he'll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song."
—Ursula K LeGuin

"The Wise Man's Fear is a beautiful book to read. Masterful prose, a sense of cohesion to the storytelling, a wonderful sense of pacing.... There is beauty to Pat's writing that defies description."
—Brandon Sanderson

"Patrick Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous."
—Terry Brooks

"[Rothfuss is] the great new fantasy writer we've been waiting for, and this is an astonishing book."
—Orson Scott Card

"As with all very best books in our field, it's not the fantasy trappings (as wonderful as they are) that make this novel so good, but what the author has to say about true, common things, about ambition and failure, art, love, and loss."
—Tad Williams

“This is an extremely immersive story set in a flawlessly constructed world and told extremely well.”
—Jo Walton, Tor.com

“It is the best book I have read it years, fantasy or otherwise.... The world is so deep, the stakes are so high, the characters so real, the mysteries so magical, the magic so mysterious, the plot so twisty…every day you haven’t read it is a day in your life that could be better.”
—Hank Green

"This fast-moving, vivid, and unpretentious debut roots its coming-of-age fantasy in convincing mythology."
—Entertainment Weekly — eloquence quotes

Wonderfully written and read by a true craftsman.

Wonderfully written and read by a true craftsman of language. Beautifully descriptive and delicate and fine as fine.

What a beautiful feast of a story!!!

I love, love, love it! I love the character I love the storytelling… I love the richness of the word usage! I often found myself backing up just to listen to a beautiful paragraph again and again. I adore Patrick’s stories and I hope he writes more like this because he painted a picture in my mind of exactly what she was doing and what she was thinking and what she was feeling and what she was saying! I give this five on every level because it was just that delicious!

Excellent story!

Despite the author's insecurities regarding the value of this story, I found it to be delightful. My only regret is that it is so short. I hope he writes more about her - I'd love to discover how she came to live in the under thing.

Auri

What did you love best about The Slow Regard of Silent Things?

This story is about Auri. I don't know about you, but whatever Patrick Rothfuss writes, I inhale, listen to, breath again and listen to again. He has a way of writing that is lovely. What did I like best? I liked learning more about Auri. Period. I loved her making soap.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Auri was the only character. Who could want anything more? Unless it is the last book of the trilogy.

Which scene was your favorite?

I am a person who loved to make anything from scratch. I card my wool, spin and either weave it or knit it....so I loved hearing about the soap making. Just an FYI, it is not as easy as Auri does it

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole book was moving. It made me cry, laugh, shake my head...total enjoyable. But if you don't read the first two books....it will not make much sense.

Any additional comments?

Mr. Rothfuss probably never reads these reviews...but if he does, I want to say how many hours I have listened to and enjoyed his story of Kvothe. I am going to get the book Rogues, where he writes about Bast. Thank you for being such a talented writer...

I loved the way this book is written, it’s loving and magical! I know some very unexpected type A people who loved this as well. I listened and then had to buy it in print so that I could hold onto the words. I want to hold some of the phasing in my head and bring it out for when I need a “grin!”
