Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Nick Podehl arrives at the end of this long audiobook, the second in the Kingkiller series, as engaged and fresh as he was at the start.... Podehl adeptly presents the broad cast of characters - from moneylenders and courtesans to kings. One of the most fascinating portrayals by Podehl begins with a young mercenary from the Adem who says little. And when he does speak, he has a flat voice, mostly devoid of expression. Podehl builds on this when Kvothe returns with him to study among the Adem, where the mercenary develops a recognizable pattern of speech reflecting many of the culture's characteristics."

“The best epic fantasy I read last year.... He’s bloody good, this Rothfuss guy.”
(George R. R. Martin, New York Times-bestselling author of A Song of Ice and Fire)

“Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous.” (Terry Brooks, New York Times-bestselling author of Shannara)

"It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words." (Ursula K. Le Guin, award-winning author of Earthsea)

Somewhat confused on where the author is going

What did you love best about The Wise Man's Fear?

The Wise Man's Fear has a lot of interesting things and a couple really good side stories but I am a little confused as to where the author intends to take the story. The ending was very strange.

If you’ve listened to books by Patrick Rothfuss before, how does this one compare?

I enjoyed The Name of the Wind better.

Have you listened to any of Nick Podehl’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nick Podehl is very good reading the Kingkiller Cronicle books. He has great comand of the story and very good character voicings.

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

I like the scenes with Denna because they remind me of my first adolecent love. All the enjoyable moments as well as the frustration.

Any additional comments?

It will be interesting to see where the author goes with the story next.

finish the final book please!!!!!

great book. cant wait for the next one. if you havent started the series i suggest you afd it to your wish list then wait for it to be complete

Ups and downs

The series so far has been great for me as a novice reader/listener. Love the tense parts but have somehow come to hate the protagonists love.

Much Improved

This second book far better than first. big story arc is excellent. main character lacks.

This is an alien writer, for real.

Patrick is an incredible writer, and a patient one. Every little word is perfectly sewed together, and Nick Podehl does an extraordinary good job reading it.

Its perfect in so many ways, the love descpritions, the humor, the action scenes. 6/6
