It is a pleasure to dive into Rothfuss’ prose and get lost in it. Patrick Rothfuss’ beautiful, lyrical writing is my prime example for why the fantasy genre can be literary. This makes each chapter fast to read, so even though it’s a big fantasybook, it won’t take that long to read. There is a reason for this, but it makes it a little slow, nonetheless. The story moves quickly (except for maybe one point near the middle) – I can’t go into much detail in this book review for fear of spoilers – but he spends a long time somewhere.
