This is a continuation of the adventures of Kvoth begun in "The Name of the Wind". Although the book is rather long, it needs to be to hold all the adventures and exploits Kvoth is involved in.

I had forgotten what the cover of this book looks like! My copy is over 30 years old, the covers fell off many years ago and the pages are splotched with drips and spills. Not only has it provided me with many great recipes (I especially recommend the orange-whole wheat hotcakes), but has also helped define my philosophy of cooking, eating and serving others.
This is definitely not a Disney fairy-tale, it is closer to the Brothers Grimm, full of gruesome and bloody scenes. All is not black and white, either. You don't know if the good guys win in the end, or even if there are good guys and bad guys. Still, its a wild ride and a fun read, and Peter's laugh is indeed most contagious.
