While I like Rothfuss' writing, there's just way too many words in the first two books in this series. Plus, I don't like being beat over the head with the concept that Kvothe may not be "speaking the plain truth." Rothfuss is too wrapped up in trying to sucker everyone into falling in love with the narrator's stories so that he can shock everyone later with the revelation that Kvothe has been a big, fat, liar from the get go. Will he ever kill a king? (Kingkiller chronicles) or will it just turn out to be more exaggerated "spin" from an unreliable narrator?
He's not clever enough by half to keep me on the hook for three books.
EDIT: Oops, sorry... i just realized it's probably considered bad form to comment on the book when you don't normally participate in the book club. Nobody likes a cherry-picker.
