This is the first time I'm reviewing a book after I met its author. In this case, I met Rothfuss at this year's past Oddcon. It's one thing to read a book, review it, and not meet the author until several...next book, The Wise Man's Fear . You can be one of the lucky ones to get your name, or any name you want, into the book. All contributions go to Heifer International, a very good charity indeed.
