Bast sucks. I really liked Simmon and wilem, and wish the had been in the book more. Ambrose is a pretty good villain, the teachers at the school were colorful. I really liked how the book talked about music. The last line kind of makes me want to continue, but the the series isn’t even done so I won’t.

80 chapters in and the book is finally moving along. It was moving along at a good pace too until the dragon showed up. Now it’s ground to a halt again

I don’t think this book needs to be as long as it is. The teluh and lanre/selitos detour was a snooze. The story of the main character as a scrappy poor orphan was more interesting. When he gets to go to school the story picks up again

The book is getting more interesting 🤔
Kvothe is still some sort of ‘super special child,’ ‘a great destiny awaits’ kind of character and it’s a bit annoying. The adult version more annoying than the child version

This Kvothe person is kind of full of it. So far I’m not getting anything out of this that I haven’t gotten out of any other fantasy driven book. I thought this series was supposed to be a unique experience? I’ll finish this book but I don’t know if I’ll go past it 🥱
