Every sentence held my interest due to narration and storytelling.

Revisado: 12-15-24

Complex and outstanding narration And storytelling. Only once every couple of years (although I read several books a week), do I give a book 5 star ratings for all three; story, performance and overall.

Absurd ending

Revisado: 02-19-23

I found the narrator’s read difficult to listen. The story started okay but ended with a ridiculous conclusion.

Again, a surprise resolution.

Revisado: 02-16-23

Witty and neatly written. Unable to predict events in the story. Main characters are likeable.

Hypothetical questions that Will never impact my daily life.

Revisado: 08-27-22

I was expecting more practical questions such as, “what if I didn’t do the dishes for a year”.

Outstanding reader

Revisado: 04-24-15

Due to the excellent narration, this Trilogy is much easier to listen to than to read . Without the narration I suspect i would have rated this book much lower.

Flavia’s character is preposterous.

Revisado: 02-09-15

I found this 11 year old, unbelievable, and unlikeable. I did not enjoy her comments about people which were supposed to be clever and funny, but I often thought, just mean. I found the narrator’s unrelenting cheery voice for Flavia, irritating & tiresome. For me, the mystery itself was uninteresting. Flavia’s precociousness is so ridiculous, that I felt the author wanted me to get a grand opinion about himself, rather than this conjured character.

Surprise Ending

Revisado: 02-02-15

I liked the first book much better. The surprise ending elevates my rating from a 2 to a 3.
Unfortunately this is a trilogy which I guess means, this ending is bogus. Too bad. Since I think this is an excellent ending, won't be purchasing the 3rd book.

Comic book in novel form

Sanderson is an excellent writer and some of his books are among my favorites. Unfortunately I just didn't find this subject matter or the story interesting.

Detective's accomplishments lack ability support

Revisado: 01-01-15

Despite the magic of the sword, too unbelievable that she, so young and inexperienced and with only rudimentary training, could do what she did. The author did not do enough to convince me of the outcome.

The history of the sword was the most enjoyable part of the story for me.

Doe not address the questions I ponder about Auri

Revisado: 12-29-14

The book describes what she does during a day and how she thinks about objects in her surroundings. It is a book of the present. I had hoped it would answer questions about her and her past--how she got where she is, how she acquired the knowledge she has, why she is alone, how long has she been alone, what about her family--but none of these questions are addressed. She is as much a mystery as she was before I read this book. This is titled Book 2.5 of the Kingkiller Chronicle, yet I feel it added nothing to the tale.

At the beginning of the book Patrick Rothfuss suggests readers might not like the book. At the end of the book, Rothfuss sounds embarrassed and apologetic for this published work, and I felt he was makes excuses for why it was published. This immaturity is startling, and especially so since I feel his story characters are incitefull and mature--one of many reasons why I find Rothfuss an outstanding author.
