The Kingkiller Chronicle - Patrick Rothfuss

I The Name of the Wind (Re-read)
II A Wise Man's Fear


Thanks to my failing memory I had to re-read part one, which I read last year, because I was shaky on some of the fine details. It wasn't a chore. This is still, for my money, one of the best new fantasy trilogies in recent years.

Book two was much of the same - Kvothe continues to relate his story to Chronicler, with interludes at his inn in the present day. Full of complex characters, witty banter (Bast in particular is just a delight) and an intriguing story, I can't wait for book three to arrive.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
