[QUOTE="sciborg3, post: 5608402, member: 6678667"] I've been reading this at the same time as my NoTW reread and I find both books more enjoyable this way. Also, I have to admit it is a novel designed for internet discussion with all its clues about the ancient myths and the Lackless door. I didn't find the sex to be too over the top, but I also think the Adem attitude toward was a little too much like a male fantasy. It might have worked better if Kvothe wasn't seen as such a catch given he is sixteen and his instructor is 26 as one reviewer pointed out. I haven't finished the book but already I am wishing for more information about the other characters. Kvothe sadly has become less interesting and I keep hoping for him to hang out with Devi or his school friends to provide some balance. As you say I think it is important to realize that to an extent the books are the result of arbitrary splits. What happens in third and last book, which is really the conclusion of a single book that Rothfuss wrote, pays for all. [/QUOTE]
