I do feel like the development of some of the other main characters is lacking a bit though that lacking may be partially due to the overemphasis on Kvothe since he's the one narrating the story and thus it's "all about him.

I look forward to reading the other books in the series. I know this review really rambled a bit but hopefully it gives you some sense of what to expect in terms of the "feel" of the book. I really think it's the sort of book that almost anybody should be able to enjoy as long as they get over any stereotypical prejudices they might have before picking it up and really give it a chance.

It truly was a joy to read. Once he was Kvothe the Bloodless, legendary hero of stories. Now, he's just Kote the innkeeper, running a tavern in the middle of nowhere. Who or what he's hiding from is unknown, but Kvothe is soon discovered by Chronicler, a scribe he rescues from a horde of monstrous spiders. Kvothe agrees to tell his own story to Chronicler over the course of three nights, each a book in Patrick Rothfuss's "Kingkiller Chronicle.

However, about a fourth of the way in, something just "clicks. The story really picks up when Kvothe enters the massive University. While the idea of a school for magic is not new, its treatment as a serious subject of scholarship comes off feeling fresh. The idea of sympathetic magic is not unique either, but the way its presented feels believable here.

Kvothe himself is actually a surprisingly well-rounded protagonist. While he does possess natural talents for music and Sympathy, his hubris actually gets him into trouble more often than not. Also, as Kvothe is the one telling the story, it's quite possible the reader gets a biased view of events. The theme of stories and their power pervades, going beyond Kvothe's own tale to the religious mythology of this world and the main villains of the story.

There's also an amusing look at how some of Kvothe's adventures have become exaggerated legends told in tavern taprooms. The fact that these mysteries are so interesting and engrossing that the next book is an absolute must as well. Not really a big fan of the fantasy genre, but I was drawn to this as part of the Gollancz 50 year celebration as that publisher has always been a promoter of quality science fiction.

I thought this was pretty good. A bit Harry Potter-ish in places, but generally a good read with a strong plot, believable characters and mostly keeping the consonant-heavy proper nouns to a minimum.

In fact, I wondered why this had to be a fantasy at all - the story could just as easily fit an historical novel context. Aimed at the young adult market this kept me interested all the way and keen to read subsequent episodes. It was a tad slow in the beginning but once it got going it was a wild ride from beginning to end. Patrick Rothfuss is a freakin' magician with words- so beautifully written. Journey with Kvothe as he becomes one of the most feared and awe inspiring arcane user of his time.

Le Guin, award-winning author of Earthsea. There is a beauty to Pat's writing that defies description. The fantasy world has a new star.

Critics are already throwing around comparisons to some of the biggest names in fantasy, including George R. Bookmarks Magazine. Martin, and J. Tolkien, but never felt that Rothfuss was imitating anyone. Like the writers he clearly admires, he's an old-fashioned storyteller working with traditional elements, but his voice is his own. I haven't been so gripped by a new fantasy series in years.

It's certain to become a classic. There is no feeling quite like falling in love with a great fantasy listen, doing a little digging, and joyfully discovering that the author has an extensive catalog of audiobooks for you to dive right into.

Fantasy as a genre is particularly blessed with a wealth of diverse authors writing all different kinds of stories. These brilliant fantasy authors will transport you to another world—whether a parallel universe or a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. The story is grindingly slow, staggeringly predictable, and mind-numbingly boring. The prose is serviceable in most places, with the occasional bit of excellence consistently offset by exhibits of clumsiness.

The moralizing is repulsively childish, while the worshipful fixation with music, women, and alleged intellectual excellence is absolutely more garbage than I could endure. But yawning wider than any of these holes is the shrieking abyss of a main character, Kvothe. He's the most detestable protagonist I've ever suffered. Astoundingly superior in every fashion and boringly tragic and brooding and snarky and brilliant, Kvothe is the most ridiculous junior high wish fulfillment self-insert ever distilled.

On the bright side, the narrator is not awful. I have been reading Science Fiction and Fantasy for 40 years, and this is one of my favorite series. If you're OK with that, I can't recommend this book more. You are warned. While I have read books that are debatably better , I have never been more invested in a protagonist. As you follow Kvothe in his adventures, you cheer for him, You weep for him, and you worry for him.

If you want to have an irrationally emotional connection with a fictional character this is the book for you. Some books may have better overall plots, some may have better worlds, or better systems of magic.
