I read the hell out of this book, just like the first one. I took every opportunity I could to squeeze in a little reading time, because this was a book, like the first, that had me constantly wondering and caring what happens next. Rothfuss does a great job of hinting at what's coming while never quite allowing us to see the whole picture. For example, in this entry, we meet Meluan who Kvothe helps his patron court. There are ample clues to tell us that she is actually Kvothe's aunt, but this isn't revealed in this book, so we are left wondering just how this will come around to influence the story in the last volume, which I am now impatiently waiting for. Sigh.
