This book started out incredibly slow. I was almost ready to DNF (jk I don’t DNF) but then the main character got to university and it finally got interesting. 
I do think the writing could have been more concise, there was no reason this had to be 700 pages. But the academia, conflict, magic, and desires were definitely compelling. The reveal at the end that I proudly predicted will be the main thing that keeps me going through the series. I would say this is an okay read, and perhaps good for fans of thick “hard fantasy” novels with lots of descriptions.

Super engaging prose, beautiful description, and I was sucked right in to the story of clever, arrogant young Kvothe. This book is imperfect but smooth and beautiful as a dream.

This was a very well written and interesting book about a man, hiding in the back country as an innkeeper, telling a story about his life and all of the different things he had to deal with growing up. Leading to why he is in hiding. 

Starts when he’s around 9-10 and details all of his trials and tribulations. The magic and abilities are very interesting and somewhat unique. The pacing and structure of the story is very entertaining and doesn’t feel like you’re sloshing through too much world building and character development. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of each, I just felt like it didn’t take away from how the story flowed.

I’m glad I finally read this, I bought it 4 years ago and never got into it. I know book three isn’t out and noone knows when or if it will happen, but I will be grabbing the second book at some point. I need to know what happens between Kvothe and Denna.

Me ha gustado la forma en la que está narrado el libro, incluso si a veces se hace extremadamente lento.
El protagonista es un "héroe" [(bastante) impaciente] al que no le sale casi nada bien.

Creo que lo único que no me acaba de gustar es la visión de los personajes femeninos.
