Sequel to the extraordinary The Name of The Wind, The Wise Man’s Fear is the second instalment of this superb fantasy trilogy from Patrick Rothfuss. This is the most exciting fantasy series since George R. R. Martin's A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, and a must for all fans of HBO's GAME OF THRONES.

What does Rupert Degas bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I honestly don't think there are words to express what richness and depth Rupert Degas' character voices brought to this audio book. Such amazing range and authenticity, I was totally and utterly lost in his narration.
Any additional comments?
Can't wait for the next in the series to be turned into an audio book!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 450
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Not only is the story totally absorbing, but the narration is the best I have ever heard. Rupert Degas is amazing, with so many rich and wonderful voices, and I did not want it to stop. I am delighted that there is another book in the pipeline, and can't wait until Mr Degas brings it to life again.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Impossible to choose, so many memorable characters within this series of books.

Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she's dead. With no recollection of her past life - or her actual death - she's trapped alone in a nightmarish existence. All of this changes when she tries to rescue a boy, Joshua, from drowning in her river. As a ghost, she can do nothing but will him to live. Yet in an unforgettable moment of connection, she helps him survive.

Struggling to listen to the Narrator

What made the experience of listening to Hereafter the most enjoyable?
I'm enjoying the premise of the story, but the whiney, 'like, oh my god, like, whatever' kind of pseudo teenager voice that the narrator uses is really making it hard to actually listen.
Would you be willing to try another one of Emily Eiden’s performances?
Not if her voice is naturally like the one used in this book. She even has the same whiney voice for the male characters in the book. Ironically, there are sections of narration where the whine does not exist, so why its switched on so heavily for 90% of the story, god only knows.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I'm still listening, so can't give a full review, and I'm not sure that I'll be able to listen much longer, so might have to switch to the kindle version.
