What people on Hacker News said
I know of other books that are so rich that you can appreciate new details on multiple readings, but none that re-contextualise the whole story with revelations hidden in plain sight.
Anyone slightly interested in fantasy should definitely read the series. The story has been great so far and storytelling is exceptional.
Wise Man's Fear was incredible. That's the only non-technical book I've read multiple times in years.
