“First, before I say anything else, this was an amazing book. It has a slow beginning as some essential characters and the situation is introduced, but after it gets going, this book sucks you right into its world.”

“Well written! I like the sarcastic, playful banter. Kvothe is a likable character. I like how the story is so intriguing and unpredictable. Excited to read the next ones.”

“In my opinion, it's a slow beginning but you just continue reading to see if it gets better. All of a sudden, you can't put it down...you have to finish it and are frustrated that the next book isn't out yet! I'm torn...I guess it depends on the next book since you haven't even gotten out of his childhood story by the end of the book. Kvothe seems to be more complex and I can't wait to find out why or how.”

“Harry Potter for grown-ups. Extremely well written and intricately woven. I'm not a huge fan of fantasy, but this book is written at a new level. ”

“An astounding first book by a rising star in the coming-of-age fantasy/adventure genre. It starts slow while the author builds the lead characters foundation but once that's accomplished hold onto your seat because the pacing accelerates at breakneck speed. Can't wait to read the sequel...WOW!!!”

“A well written book that basically retells the (fictional) story of a powerful well known arcanist (to be) and his journey. Lots or magic and can be quite dark at times.

I think the ending is a little disappointing because its left open to continue in the next book. Overall, I would read the other books in the series when they come out. ”
