Este libro es impresionante, me ha encantado. No le doy 5 estrellas porque sé que el segundo libro va a ser todavía mejor. Kvothe es un claro ejemplo de crecimiento personal, menuda pasada de personaje. Lo recomendaría a todo el mundo.
 Aventura y fantasía ¿Qué más se puede querer?

If it were just Rothfuss’ writing, I’d have given this book 5 stars. But I’ve decided I don’t need more sexist fantasy in my life… As a writer you can fantasize anything! Why is there always a need to fantasize shitty worlds for women?!

Likely be a reread, esp once the third book comes out. 

The only negative thing I have to say is the pacing was funny. I thought the book reached a good ending point and there were 500 pages left. Then again and 200 pages left. Then the book actually ended and it felt mid sentence! 

Perhaps the intended effect…

It was very entertaining, especially near the end. Although the main character is a little bit of a Mary Sue, and some of the secondary characters are not entirelly fleshed out. There is especially a lack of characterization on women, most of them being just described as beautiful. There is a bit of r/menwrittingwomen, but can be excused as the narrator's naïve and conservative relationship with women. The lore is quite interesting, however there are some things that feel like plotholes, perhaps they are resolved on the next books. I would probably read the next books, granted if the protagonist is less of a Mary Sue and the secondary characters are more fleshed out.
