I'd say 3 out of 5 because I did enjoy the book. The beginning of the book was very enjoyable and it moves at a pretty decent pace. The middle part of the book is SO DAMN SLOW! My god!! Paint can dry faster. 
 The whole (view spoiler)[Felurian bit in the forest was such a drag. Initially I thought it might be interesting but it kept on going. Just food, sex and random talk. Felurian is like a 10 year old child with the anger of a vengeful god. After a few chapters I just wanted to be done with Felurian. And if Felurian wasn't enough, there was Ademre. I was falling asleep by this time and just hoping that Kvothe goes back to the university so things can get interesting. (hide spoiler)] These sections were so boring that I started to miss Ambrose and his plotting and scheming. 
 We also continue to see the adventures of Denna along with Kvothe and their very Ross-and-Rachel type of scenes and dialogues. (view spoiler)[Denna is the queen of coincidences and chance-meetings. She always manages to go wherever Kvothe is going but in advance. Maybe there is a deeper mystery to her movements, probably related to her mysterious patron. (hide spoiler)] 
 This is not to say that the book wasn't enjoying in many parts. (view spoiler)[I simply loved the part where they burn Ambrose's quarters and the early interactions and encounters with the Maer. The fight with the bandits and Cinder in the forest was amazing and so was the part where he builds and demonstrates the arrow-catch. Top notch! (hide spoiler)] 
 All in all, I just hope that Patrick Rothfuss can address everything that is left unexplained and stuff that is yet to happen! (view spoiler)[Can't believe he still hasn't been expelled from the university! (hide spoiler)] I am also excited about what will possibly happen after the flashbacks are over and events move in current time! 
 Please write book 3 faster before I forget everything that has happened so far!
