Story4.5 out of 5 stars 394
Lavan Chitward is a very unhappy young man; pulled away from his country home by his parents' ambitions and resettled in the big city of Haven, he is desperately lonely, bullied and beaten at school, ignored by his parents. It is not surprising that he falls ill - but his illness is the first manifestation of a terrible power, the Gift of the Firestorm, a power which can and does kill. If controlled, the Gift of the Firestorm can save Valdemar, but if it is uncontrolled, it will destroy the country - and him.

Story5 out of 5 stars 76,343
My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me. So begins a tale told from his own point of view - a story unequaled in fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man’s Fear, Day Two of The Kingkiller Chronicle, Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.

Unrivaled anger, contempt, longing for more

How many stories have you read and been so enthralled with the protagonist, that screams silently fill your mind? I have teared up, laughed, and felt sinister more times with this set than I can count. Can't wait for the third book. Take the time to lose yourself.

Careful, you will develop a respect for the Sith

This story follows Darth Sidious' apprenticeship with Plagueis more than a just a story of Plagueis, but still an excellent story. Daniel Davis was amazing.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 97,257
This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Rollercoaster of emotions

it's been a long time since I have read a book that made me laugh, treat up, and find myself with a sinister grin.
