Quick Takes
I did enjoy "The Wise Man's Fear" more than "The Name of the Wind". I think Rothfuss pulled off the pacing better here, and there's less drawing of folksy morals here. We still have to grapple with the fact that the protagonist is effectively a teenage male who has become an academic (as well as a minstrel, duelist, and paramour) because he's obsessed with what's effectively a political conspiracy theory about an ancient order. So sort of like going to Harvard because you're really in to the Knights Templar.
"West Coast Wild" is a really cool alphabet/nature book. My nephews really enjoyed it as a read aloud.
And I have to give a shout out here to "Mormon Shorts" by Scott Hales". The book combines Hales' comics with some of his Mormon microfiction, and both are fabulous. You can read some of the comics from the collection for free online here. And you can find out more about Scott and other things he writes here.
