Really liked the general plot but felt it was a lot longer than it really needed to be.

A good long fantasy read that exceeded all my expectations! I sometimes get overwhelmed by longer texts and start to get bored, but I never wanted this to end. The world built was detailed and fascinating. It’s the kind of fantasy world that’s just a little to the left of our own, where magic exists, but in a subtle manner. The characters really make me feel a lot. To the point where every time Ambrose showed up, I could feel myself getting all heated up and angry. I don’t enjoy feeling angry of course, but I love when a book can bring out that much emotion in me! The “story within a story” structure was well done, and invites the reader to question the factuality of everything that’s being told. In a way, it’s a deep exploration of celebrity. Does a person’s actions make them a hero, or is it the constant telling and retelling of said acts that elevates them to the heroic? This was an immersive adventure from start to finish, and I had a great ride. I’ll definitely need to pick up the sequel soon. Rothfuss leaves us with so many storylines unfinished, so many mysteries still to solve!

I hate it so much. I truly honestly couldn't care any less about this world and at the same time, it stressed me out how much child brutality was put so forward. Like its impressive how it manages to convey constant negative emotions and come as bland and shallow in the positive characteristic of the world and the characters.

It came as to how people are such profound assholes and it feels a tragic tale of misery. The descriptions were fine but nothing charming mind you. Nor for all its posturing, the character came especially intelligent or witty.

It was, in the end, a chore. I forced me to continue reading because I wanted to see where all the hype was about and, once again, I feel dissapointed.
