He's a consummate storyteller. Jayhawk Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 05:08:42 PM
I felt that Rothfuss had a way with words that just drew me in and kept me going. Again, I can't point to anything truly specific to back this up, but this was one of those books that I read in less than 24 hours, and that was during a busy workweek.


I have a difficult time explaining it, too, just that I was mesmerized.
“Myth is much more important and true than history. History is just journalism, and you know how reliable that is.
