I completely understand people not liking this book. There is very very little action, Kvothe is always getting in trouble or trusting people he shouldn't, he's a mega “simp” for Denna and just refuses to pick up flirtations from the ladies. All that being said, I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that you didn't get to have the euphoric experience to be completely swept off your feet and Rothfuss carry your body through the doorway of his amazing magical world. His storytelling is just incredible. In the beginning I was thinking it was overrated due to literally nothing happening. The first day I read 70 pages. The next 2 days I read over 600 pages. It had me so hooked to the point that I would get angry with life coming in the way of my reading. I just wanted to read until my ass went numb. I can't even tell you specifics about the book that made me love this so much. It's just...amazing.
