Hey fellow book lovers! If you haven't heard of it or read it yet, here's why you absolutely need to.

  1. Crazy Good Storytelling: This isn't your average fantasy. It's like Rothfuss has made this cool, completely different universe that just sucks you in. You're not just reading about this world, you're living in it.

  2. Magic, But Not as You Know It: The magic stuff in this book is super neat. It's called 'Sympathy', and it isn't about pulling rabbits out of hats. It's logical and follows its own set of rules which makes it a whole lot more interesting.

  3. Characters You'd Wanna Be Friends With: The main guy, Kvothe, is all sorts of awesome. He's smart, he's funny, and he's got guts. Plus, the other characters in the book are just as great.

  4. A Story That Keeps You Guessing: The story jumps between 'now' and 'then', and trust me, you'll be turning pages like mad trying to figure out what happens next.

  5. Words That Sing: Rothfuss writes like he's weaving a magic spell of his own. His words are simple but they paint such a vivid picture, you can't help but be pulled in.

I have probably read this book 5 times and discover something new everytime.
