The best way to provide a comparison for Pat's writing is that he writes like a great director makes a movie. Every dialog is deliver at the right time with right intensity. The affect is amazing even on small things that take place in the book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone except for the people who have not read the first one : ) go read that one first.
I hope Pat is working furiously to get us the next book soon : ) may be next month? We can hope cant we?

If you’ve listened to books by Patrick Rothfuss before, how does this one compare?
I listened to the first book, and enjoyed it. This book I found myself actually fast forwarding just to get to something interesting. I have over 400 books in my Audible account, and I love long reads, but there were sections of this book that just dragged endlessly.What about Nick Podehl’s performance did you like?
Narrator handled the book well, and even the slow sections were read well.Not as good as the first book, but ok

I can not recommend this book enough. If you are frustrated with the juvenile writing style that is so typical of our culture, you will love this book.
An unbelievably great writer with an unbelievably great story. Definitely worth your time.
If I was a writer, I would hate Patrick Rothfuss

This book is completely engrossing! I bought it on the strength of the reviews and am truly glad I did. It has a richer and more varied story line than one usually finds in these epic fantasy series and the complexity of the story line keeps it from being a boring read. I can't wait for the final volume. It should be noted that this series should be treated as a single story that takes three books to tell. The second book is a true continuation of the story begun in the first book, not a separate entity and there will be much that does not make sense if you don't read the series from the beginning.
I must also comment on the narrator, Nick Podehl. He gives an EXCELLENT performance in these books. One of the best I have ever heard in the 700+ audiobooks in my collection. I would now be willing to buy a book just because he is reading it.
Easily a 5-star book.
