The fact that I finished a 992 page book between Wednesday night and Sunday morning clearly indicates that I enjoyed it. I love the device of framing the story of young Kvothe by the present day Kvothe telling it to the Chronicler. The adventures are dashing and the characters interesting. It is highly episodic. Kvothe faces one crisis after another at the University , as he does in the The Name of the Wind. In this book, he also goes afield and has different sorts of adventures.
