A scribe arrives at a backwater inn and is certain he recognizes in the innkeeper, Kote, a legendary figure. After some negotiation, Kote agrees to tell his incredible tale over the course of three days -- from his youth spent in a traveling troupe of performers, to his days as a destitute student at the arcane university, and his underlying efforts throughout to learn the true reason his parents were murdered. I'd had this on my to-read list for several years. I'd hoped by the time I finally picked it up book three would be imminent, but that doesn't seem to be the case, and I grew tired of waiting. Having said that, I quite enjoyed this book, and found it to be a bit different from what I had been expecting -- in a good way, though I agree with many other readers that Kvothe is just a bit too adept at everything he attempts, nearly to the point of eye-rolling on the part of the reader. Would definitely recommend to both fantasy fans and non-fans. Let's see...if I put off reading book two for a year, perhaps by then book three will have arrived.
