He is just the most….everything, at all times. He is the most clever, the most musical, the most powerful and crafty. Kvothe, as a character, is one of those fantasy protagonists who is simply the best at everything. Based on all of my conversations, my own personal emotions, and this Goodreads review from the Incredible Hulk, I feel that I can safely say that Kvothe is the worst. That may sound like an exaggeration but I will assure you that it’s true. During the course of recommending this series (and ruining several people’s lives when they found out about the as of yet unreleased third book), I then made my second discovery every single person I’ve talked to loves this series but they also all HATE the protagonist, Kvothe. Therefore, as a good friend, I then made sure to pass it along to as many of my friends as possible so that we could all wait in agony together. It is also, however, one of those currently unfinished fantasy series that makes you reflect on your life choices, and wonder why you didn’t just wait for the last in the series to be released before starting. Not to say the book wasn’t good! It was fantastic! I blazed through it in a couple of days fueled only by sunshine and cider, and I then immediately grabbed the second one. This summer I decided to start reading The Kingkiller Chronicle series by Patrick Rothfuss after serendipitously coming across a five dollar copy of The Name of the Windin a used book store.
