I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The only thing that I must say is that Kvothe is a little too Gary-stu at times. Too powerful, good at everything he does and knows just about everything and learns too fast. That aside, this book earns a 5 star rating just the same.

I will be reading the next book soon but I’m going to take a break to get some library books read first!

About the Book:

Told in Kvothe’s own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen. The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming-of-age story unrivaled in recent literature
