Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos was great too <| sep |> Yeah , I used to be a smug kung fu dude who thought that would be the answer to everything until someone destroyed me by brining me to the ground . Good learning experience . <| sep |> No , the game starts off pretty simple and gradually introduces more complex mechanics as your city grows . <| sep |> The most general argument I can give is simply that almost nothing happens . The book is mainly just about checking off things on a list that are part of Kvothe ' s legend and once that is done , he is back in the exact same place as he started , as the exact same character as he started , with the plot in the exact same place as at the start of the book . It has horrible pacing , plotting and characterization . The character isn ' t developed , only his skills . The book doesn ' t lead to any climax or revelation , he just ends it by securing money yet again , and the overarching plot is pretty much unexplored other then learning an extremely little amount about the legends of the Chandrian . That is my general feelings at least . The second book in a trilogy is generally when you really need to push in a direction to prepare things for the resolution in book three . This book went nowhere , it was effectively just doing more of the things that have already been achieved in book one .
