Really really liked this book. Mixes some of my favourite stuff such as magic ("real" serious magic, not Harry Potter magic) and a prodigy kid Ender-alike. I'm not really a good reviewer, but I'd recommend this book without blinking.

The protagonist was a bit too stupid throughout most of the book despite how the author tried to build him up as a savant, and the book plodded along in a lot of places where Kvothe was just dicking around. The worldbuilding was incredible but the story was plodding and cumbersome.

Captivating and entertaining read. Much more lighthearted and roguish than I ever expected from the hype, but nonetheless one of the more well-told fantasy stories I’ve ever read. The characters are dear and precious to me, and I look forward to reading the next book, and hopefully the third will be published before I die.
