Wonderfully written. Amazing prose. I didn’t find myself drawn to the characters unfortunately, and at times the events of the story felt forced and clumsy. The enjoyment I did have reading this was tainted by the knowledge that the story will very likely never see its conclusion. Which makes reading Kvothes tale feel like a pointless task. 

I believe authors have a certain obligation to finish the stories they start if they are capable. This is especially true when said authors have numerous completed manuscripts for their trilogies finale and have publicly claimed that they’ve completed the series 👀

Despite those complaints, I am — if not a little begrudgingly — looking forward to reading The Wise Man’s Fear.
