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.

I also have the hugest crush on Bast, woah. That final chapter was a whirl. He captured my heart way back when he first revealed himself as fae - and then he tore it into tiny pieces and taped them back together in letters that spelled “I heart Bast” when he used his full Fae form to be all threatening to the Chronicler. Also, do I ship Bast x the Chronicler? What? Shhh this book was so much fun but wow am I invested in the interlude side characters.

The characters and their dynamics are complex and overall very well done and Kvothe's narration is witty. The world and magic system are original and well developed while staying quite mysterious.
I really enjoyed the contrast between story and reality, Kvothe's (unreliable) legendary image as a hero versus his humain flaws... or at least the ones he lets us see in the story he weaves for the world to see. Indeed, he himself admits that he's always used and fed the rumors about him, so in the end, isn't this story the final one he crafts ?
Moderate: Violence, Grief, and Death of parent
Minor: Murder
