Simply amazing! Kvothe is such a likeable character with such an amazing story to tell. Most of the story is told in the style of an autobiography, laying the framework that tells a story of a famous musician, arcanist, and hero! His story starts in his childhood and works it's way through his time at the university. There are several characters that you'll love and a few that you'll hate! I can't wait to read the rest of this series!
