Ah! A circus book. These are always nice, aren't they? There's some romance, some kind tender moments, some razzle dazzle! No, not in this one. This one just made me sad. All worth it to read that final couple of lines.

Cute and compact — the beginning was fun cuz it was literally 100 pages of “wait, what is going on? Why is?” Delighted as it went on. Brb googling the validity of fonts.

This is a very exciting and fun continuation of Kvothe's story — it does drag a bit in the middle, but cmon, it's still fun!!!!

Love it. Can't wait for book 3. Take your time, Rothfuss!

While this wasn't my favorite read, it really did come together at the end and made me want to keep going. Fantasy books without maps are fun. Cool and neat!

A cute little red book that feels a little bit more of a tribute to The Bear Himself more so than Taoism. I recommend it though!!!

It's actually way better than you think it'll be.
