In The Wise Man's Fear, 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, forced to reclaim the honor of his family, 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.
Now, Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.

The Wise Man's Fear - Review
4 stars
Content warning Very mild general description of the overall tone of the book
So this is the type of book I swore I would never read again - book two of ? in a series of ? and it's been a decade since this book was released, with no word on when book three will be out, and if that will actually finish the story. I can't fault the interesting way this story is told, and do want to see exactly where this story is going though, but I can't in good concience recommend this knowing you'll be left in the lurch. It also very suddenly got very horny at about the 50% mark, and pretty much stayed there for the next 500 pages.
