The series only gets better. Great story telling, frightening at times. How can it wrap up in one more book?

"So yes. It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because.That’s as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect."
Over 2 months have gone by since I read this book, and so I can't honestly review it with the level of dedication and accuracy I would wish. TO do that I'd have to read it again, which may happen one day.
All I can honestly say is that the gripes of the first book are mostly gone: there's a great deal less "you can't imagine/understand" etc, the intercuts are much less damaging to the story overall, …

All I can honestly say is that the gripes of the first book are mostly gone: there's a great deal less "you can't imagine/understand" etc, the intercuts are much less damaging to the story overall, and I ended the book feeling quite solemn and curious as to Kvothe's future.
There is, of course, some discord, and in this case its Felurian. I felt the Fae incident was overlong and ill-fitting to the story as a whole. Nonetheless, a single gripe in almost a thousand pages is hardly anything to worry about. This one comes highly recommended.
