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.
