"I saw it get by the mound, and I saw Superman at second base."
I bought this book based off Amazon recommendations and then someone who I trust on books said it was terrible, so I went in reading it anyway with low expectations. In the end I thought it was alright.

It's more akin to Harry Potter than epic fantasy. The focus is on one character and there really isn't much in the way of a grand sweeping plot beyond him. Lots of other things are hinted at it but that's it really. It reads as a pretty standard coming of age type story.

Based on this novel, I wouldn't put Rothfuss in the same class as Martin, Abercrombie, Lynch, Sanderson, or other active fantasy authors of that ilk.
