Only took me a million years, but I finally finished the second book in this series! Now I get to wait around for #3 with everyone else. I don’t think this installment was as successful as the first, but it was still great. I loved getting to jump right into Kvothe’s world, not having to wait through all the exposition. It feels like seeing a good friend after a long absence, picking up where you left off. This novel was quite episodic, so of course some are better than others. I generally love Kvothe’s time at University, though his childish antics with his rival are increasingly frustrating. I was most interested with Kvothe’s adventures at court, with all the subtle politics and social games. Those sections flew by, whereas the chapters with Felurian really dragged on. I’m glad there’s at least a #2.5 to tide me over in the meantime!

3.0

While I enjoyed reading each of the components of this book, ultimately that is what they were: components.  It felt like this book was made of several story arcs, which didn't ultimately propel the main narrative of this series forwards.  There are some great concepts, beautiful writing, and some genuinely funny lines which made me chuckle  However, this was bogged down by a poor structure, as well as truly awful writing concerning the female characters - perhaps I'm just too far flung on the asexuality spectrum, but I felt so frustrated by how almost every female character in the book was objectified, and I certainly felt that a whole arc on

Kvothe learning sexual techniques from a mystical Fae

was unnecessary.
