Are we reading the same book? I tried to read the first one. I really did. It started off well and I was interested in what was happening with the strange creatures. And then the main character started to tell his whole fucking back story. And it was so boring. It was all about how awesome he was at everything, how everything came so easy to him. About half way through the book I stopped and started to flick through it to check when the back story stopped and the plot continued. But it didn't, the whole book was back story. I just stopped there. I still haven't finished it. I just could not get over how much of a gary stue this guy was.

Maybe I'll try again. If only because my brother got me the 2nd book for my birthday. Maybe it'll get better.

Uh you have every right not to like the book, but it was the idea of it that everything is told as back story with only short interludes in the main frame.

About Kvothe being a Gary Stu... I have said before that I marvelled at Pat's writing because I don't feel Gary Stu vibes from him, despite all the things he is great at. But to each its own, I guess.
Although I don't quite agree with the idea of things coming easy to him, he lived in the streets for years, once in the University he is fretting every term about affording the tuition, etc.

Not to harsh anyone else's squee, but I hated this book. If you didn't like the first half, you won't like the second, and you won't like the sequel.

Yes to all of this. I have no idea what book people are reading. It's basically just the author inserting his 13-year old horny speshul boy fantasies into a novel. Everything is about how shiny he is, and how talented, and how super good at sex he is. I could not do it. Don't bother with the 2nd book, it gets worse.
