I admit it.... I´m a fan, too.;-)

Having read his works "The name of the wind" and "The wise man´s fear", and, most recently, "The slow regard of silent things" I must admit that I have developed quite the habit towards the writings of Patrick Rothfuss.

Here is a link to his blog:

While I am not agreed with him on some topics like gender mainstreaming and the like, and agreed on some other topics, and fond of his engagement, and not fond of some of his weird jokes;-), his books are poetic works of art about characters "slightly akilter" (The slow regard of silent things), and, most refreshingly do not try to be a LOTR or Harry Potter remake, even if they share characteristics. His language designs could be a bit more thorough, but all in all his is a very developed world that takes you in and does not let you go, and there is something very rare in contemporary fantasy novels: The feeling underneath that there is a sublime truth behind it all, a secret hidden in secrets of secrets, a hint, a scent of something wild and untame hiding inside. Read them at your own risk.;-).
