I read it when it was released. It is good fantasy, but contrary to many readers' views, I think it is simply an OK book, not great or marvelous or any other superlative. Having read both the first and second volumes in the trilogy (The Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear), I can only assume that there is a point to the narrative that will become apparent in the third volume, which will be released who knows when (the second volume was more than a year late in release).
