I've been reading Pat's Kingkiller's chronicle for more than a week now. Fat, long book. Now I can only quote him saying how much he hates waiting for another book from trylogy. I cannot relate more. I do hope I won't have to wait 4 years for it to come out. I wasn't entirely satisfied with Wise man's fear. It lacked something. It lacked Kvothe's thoughs. I missed being inside his mind. I wondered a lot of times what might he feel, what might he think? I could only guess, and given my incredible talent at guessing people's feeling I was far away from the truth. It left me very sad. Every time I read the sentence about him waiting for death and about the silence I felt saddness like no other. It was breaking my heart. His whole story was just... SAD. I also missed a lot of characters. I missed his conversations with Elodin. I personally thought his ideas and their conversations were absolutely marvelous. I was impressed. I also missed Simmon, he's the gentlest creature I ever encountered in a book. I loved him, I would like to know more about him and Fela. I would like to know more about Devi. The book was heavy, I couldn't shake the feeling of approaching disaster. It was quite right since the author hinted it in a very non-subtle way. The book stole my heart and left me incredibly empty. I'm glad I didn't read it like I read Canavan. I wouldn't be able to stand parting with Pat's work this way. It was one hell of a book. I cannot wait for more. I dare say it was even better than Weeks and that is very huge compliment. I'm happy I found such an author, I'm happy there are thing this good out there. I'm happy there is still hope to find even more amazing things. And lately I've been in a need of hope. 
 After reading one star reviews I do admit I kind of missed bad sides of the book. Simply because the author kept me interested even when there was no real reason for that (Felurian part, I'm also convinced it was really unnecessary part considering Kvothe at that time wasn't a young man but a kid, 16 years old kid). So I admit I loved Name of the wind more but still I wish many other filled with action books had this kind of narration and storytelling.
