My first fantasy read in forever and definitely not my last.
This is a cleansing read for me. Everything is well defined, friendships, hardships, character traits… In this, it is a typical plot-driven book. The scaffolding remains the same, things happen all the time but everything remains kind of the same either way. It reminds me a little of the 13 ½ Leben des Käptain Blaubär although this is really more a children's book than YA in that regard.
It is easy to read and easy to please. It’s a comfort read. I like that I can read some and then read something else and pick it up later without losing my footing. The overpowered main char is really great for this kind of book and I enjoy it. However, I don’t like the feeling of genericness. Everything is written like you would expect it to be. And all the stuff with Kvothe completely spacing out as soon as he sees a girl...ough give me a break! And it’s always the fucking same. So this I loathed the most. I think this could have been an even better book by such a wide margin but I still loved it for the easy comforting story-driven narrative. I certainly wouldn’t want to read this all the time but it got me hooked and I'm starting the second book in the series. I feel like this is exactly what I needed right now.

Patrick Rothfuss is a genius. I will leave it at that. Read the book, the only thing you've to lose, is not reading it.

An incredible take on cliche male MC with OP powers and inhuman drive to succeed. Love the magic system, love the flaws built into the character. Nothing like some OPMC slop.

Didn’t really hook me that much…it was good but didn’t feel special compared to any fantasy novel I’ve read in the past…don’t think I’ll be finishing the series
