I loved this book a whole lot. A beautiful ode to storytelling, family, grief, and music, via a high fantasy narrative. The world building is wonderful. And the main character, Kvothe, is so beautifully and affectingly written. He felt so incredibly real to me, so much so that each time I opened the book it felt like checking in with an old friend. If you love high fantasy, definitely recommend.
