I loved this book a whole lot. A beautiful ode to storytelling, family, grief, and music, via a high fantasy narrative. The world building is wonderful. And the main character, Kvothe, is so beautifully and affectingly written. He felt so incredibly real to me, so much so that each time I opened the book it felt like checking in with an old friend. If you love high fantasy, definitely recommend.

Kvothe is so Autistic, it's wonderful.

characters who I think are queer:
Bast
Simmons
Probably Kvothe
The Eolian owners, I thought they were hubbies at first

I want to give Kvothe a hug, this poor man has had such a hard time, his retirement plan didn't even work out the way he hoped.

as Patrick Rothfuss has said, the writing can be a tad juvenile at times but it does work since Kvothe is a child throughout this whole book, of course he'd freak out at being in close proximity with a girl.

I like Denna, I don't have much to say about her but I like her.
