Told in Kvothe's own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen. A story of sorrow, survival, and the search for meaning in a beautiful but brutal world.

Rothfuss writes prose so beautiful it hurts. The scene where Kvothe calls the wind gave me chills. A modern fantasy masterpiece.

Kvothe is one of the most compelling protagonists in fantasy. Arrogant, brilliant, broken, and unforgettable.

I've read this five times and it gets better with each reread. The University sections are pure magic—literally and figuratively.
