Re: What are you currently reading?

Despite my love of the book, I have to agree that Kvothe sometimes comes off as a bit Gary Stuish.

However, we have to remember that he is an unreliable narrator, and loves telling lies about himself to appear greater than he is.

And in addition to that, we know that he is responsible for whatever fucked up the world in the frame story, so I don't think everything works out for him and his "flaws" end up costing him dearly.

To me, it wasn't just that Kvothe was so Gary Stu-ish, it was essentially that no other character had any sort of development or hint of genuine personality other than him. It's like all the other characters in the book just existed as walking plot devices to further his heroics and personal story-arc. I guess you could argue it was because Kvothe was the narrator, and that was how he saw his story, but I thought it prevented the book from being anything bigger or more interesting than it was, and caused it to fall short from developing into an actual fantasy series.
Which was a shame, because the story and worldbuilding itself was relatively solid.
Just my two cents, anyways.
