4.5 stars really, but I rounded up cos I'm soft like that :-) 
 I absolutely loved The Name of the Windso was really looking forward to reading this. For the most part, I wasn't disappointed. Rothfuss' storytelling is mesmerising and his use of language quite beautiful at times. However, for me, the (view spoiler)[whole episode with Felurian just dragged on a bit too much, and the treatment of Kvothe's emerging sexuality just seemed, well, a bit naff to be honest. But then the Adem training started and I forgave Rothfuss cos I loved it! The whole Lethani thing was very Zen. (hide spoiler)] 
 Some of the most intriguing parts of the story were the interludes and I can't wait for the third book to find out who the hell Bast is? And why does Kote seem to be a shadow of Kvothe? And when do we get to see the Chandrian? 
 But, yeah, all in all, a great book.
