Day Two: The Wise Man's Fear. "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man." An escalating rivalry with a powerful member of the nobility forces Kvothe to leave the University and seek his fortune abroad. Adrift, penniless, and alone, he travels to Vintas, where he quickly becomes entangled in the politics of courtly society. While attempting to curry favor with a powerful noble, Kvothe discovers an assassination attempt, comes into conflict with a rival arcanist, and leads a group of mercenaries into the wild, in an attempt to solve the mystery of who (or what) is waylaying travelers on the King's road. All the while, Kvothe searches for answers, attempting to uncover the truth about the mysterious Amyr, the Chandrian, and the death of his parents. Along the way, Kvothe is put on trial by the legendary Adem mercenaries, forced to reclaim the honor of the Edema Ruh, and travels into the Fae realm. There he meets Felurian, the faerie woman no man can resist, and who no man has ever survived. Under her tutelage, Kvothe learns much about true magic and the ways of women. In "The Wise Man's Fear" Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.
"It is the question that we cannot answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gain is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers." (查看原文)

因为实在是受不了Denna了所以只能四星。虽然Denna本身应该不是个绿茶婊但是这样的描述方式(i.e.,完全没有背景只有一堆谜题)真的让我觉得她很绿茶。所以作为主角的主要love interest写成这个德行真的很减分啊

在kindle app上读书感觉不到实体书的厚度,遂毫无怨言地一路读了下来。。周一的下午,晚上的课之前,在餐厅里一边吃点心一边读,非常愉快的阅读记忆。坐等完结篇。

Denna就是个花瓶角色,Kvothe就是男版的玛丽苏,但是还是很好看

最喜欢男主跑到仙境和仙女每天滚草地的段落!还有男主角和任何女主角之外的角色滚床单滚草地都让人喜闻乐见!故事里的故事的结尾太让人崩溃了,求女主角赶快死。
