Great read!
Surprisingly good fantasy novel, told in a different way, which suites this story like a glove.
A story of a genius performer/magician/musician man told by himself to a chronicler that sought a myth.
Through his speech, he reminisces his painful losses while young, the hardships of living alone in a troublesome city where he had to learn how to endure pain, his rise to glory as one of the most upcoming brilliant minds both in his studies as a musician with the main objective of finding answers of who his parents killers are.
Slowly, while telling his story, he gets to remember who he was and slowly become the man he once was.

Funny and touching, not the usual hero that conquers all and everything turns out great.
Almost every good achievement is balanced by an unexpected punishment that prevents him from finding his answers.
