If you like character-driven novels, you’ll really like this book. I’m more of a plot-driven person so when the book deviates away from the main reason Kvothe sets out on his journey, I got bored. Only toward the very end does the story return to the main plot.

I thought this book laid down some captivating foundations but left me with no answers. I loved the world, the science/physics/magic and the music. I am left wanting more! but in a good way.

I really wanted to like this book, but there was not enough world building for a fantasy book. And if there isn’t going to be world building, then give me plot! Well... the book falls short here too.
