What this book is about
The second Kingkiller Chronicle. Kvothe spends time at the University, then leaves to serve a powerful political figure and crosses the world — to the mercenary Adem and to Felurian, a fae creature who takes men and doesn't return them. Rothfuss's most expansive book. Some sections contain mature romantic content.
Notes for sensitive readers
Reader-flagged moments and themes that may affect your experience.
Extended romantic/sexual content with a fae figure (not graphic but adult)
More sexually explicit than book one
