So, let's do it here: What Fantasy authors do you like?

36. I've decided I like Patrick Rothfuss

I agree The Wise Man's Fear was not quite on the same level as The Name of the Wind. Still, it was well written. It swept me away with it's prose and left me considering the evolution of the protagonist as the book moved along. Oddly, I still haven't decided if I even like Kvothe. I certainly find him interesting.

I'm looking forward to the conclusion whenever it's finished.

After The Wise Man's Fear I started on Robin Hobb's The Second Son trilogy. Which had the most annoying and unlikeable protagonist of any book I've ever read. I forced myself through the quagmire of despair that was the second book in hopes that the third would bring things back on track and be better. By the middle of the third book realized this was the track she intended for the book. I will admit I found myself appreciative for the excellent job Hobb's did in creating the beautifully detailed land, and the magic structure was fascinating.

I only mention Hobb's The second Son Trilogy as a warning to beware if you've not yet read it. If you do chose to read make sure you don't read them during a low point in your own life.
