As the main character overcomes adversity he grows as a character throughout the book which makes him strong. The book is organized in two different ways, at first it is present time and what is going on in the book is happening now, which is presented in third person. The second time frame of the book is the main character narrating the book as he tells a story to another character. The main character of the book is a young boy named Kvothe who deals with many struggles throughout. Kvothe loses his parents at a young age but that does not stop him from striving for his dreams. Kvothe as a young boy has a dream, and that is to go to the University. Getting to the University is not an easy path that he has to face; many struggles and obstacles are faced as Kvothe strives for his goal. Keeping up with what is going on during the book is a lot to handle. If reading is not your strongest aspect then reading this book might be a little difficult. So much is going on that you really need to know what’s happening and if you read something once and don’t understand it, reading it over again is what is best. Also if this genre of book is not what you normally read then it might not be the best for a reader, but many people who do enjoy these genres of books seem to really enjoy this one to be exact. A strength this book really has is the imagery the writer has included. This description of some of the events that go on in this book, or what Kvothe has to go through, a reader can really just imagine it in their head. Not a single detail is really left out in this book; the writer has put so much time and effort in the detail. Having so much detail and having a reader actually be able to see what is going on is what really helped when reading this book, in a way it made it more interesting. “Ambrose was walking with several well-dressed friends, their eyes sweeping over the crowd, looking for raised hands. Ambrose was a dozen feet away before he finally looked down and realized the hand he was heading toward was mine” (Rothfuss 433). This is something in the book that really shows imagery. A reader can see Ambrose in their mind walking past a group or through a group with his “well dressed” friends and see his facial expression when he does realize whose hand he is heading to shake. Depending on the reader, it is either a hit or miss when it comes to this book. If the reader is into this genre of the book, loves sci-fi and fantasy then I would recommend this book completely. This is one of the best sci-fi fantasy books that I have come across. Sci-fi fantasy is either a hit or miss, in a way some of these genres of books can be very boring and not written well, but this book is written very well. I recommend this book to any reader who is up for not only a good book, but also a good series. ...more "
