An okay book that manages to go nowhere after 1000 pages. Kvothe learns to fight and... other stuff. Then he ends up right where he started, but not as poor.

None of the questions brought up in the first book are answered. That, and the Felurian chapters just about ruined the whole book; since after that, Kvothe apparently feels obliged to hump everything that moves (thankfully in PG-13 detail, at least).

And Denna. Enough with her. I wish she'd just kick the bucket already.

Again, some of my favorite parts are the short stories the characters tell around campfires and whatnot.

On the bright side, when the third and final book comes out next year (?), it should solve all of the mysteries that haven't been solved yet. Right? Maybe?
