![]() Another old man Skarpi tells stories too, stories Kvothe had thought were false but now it seems to fit together that Lanre is in fact Haliax and that he led the group who killed Kvothe’s parents. However, when Trapis tells them the story of how their chief god Tehlu killed the demon Encanis, Kvothe begins to suspect he is a priest. As luck would have it, someone gives him another and he goes to an inn but is again scared of contact so runs back to Trapis. One day he travels to the wealthy side of town and is given a lot of money by a pitying woman then almost immediately loses it when he is attacked. There is one kind man in town Trapis who offers a safe haven when they need it. He begs on the streets and tries pretty badly to steal. After being beat up he thinks of going back to them but is too late. ![]() They say he can go home with them but is afraid and runs away. So Kvothe escapes and lives alone in the forest but one day a man and his son Jake pick him up when he needs to go to town for lute strings. The killers are still there and want to kill Kvothe but their demon master stops them. Soon afterwards Kvothe loses all the other parental figures in his life when he returns to find the camp burnt because his parents have been writing songs invoking the names of demons. Abenthy teaches him first the power of belief before he can learn a type of magic called sympathy.Īt this point of the story Chronicler and Bast meet and get in a fight where Bast transforms into an animalistic demon but Bast is grateful Kvothe is finally telling his story so they decide to get along.Ībenthy decides to marry a woman and leave the troupe. Kote tells him he can join their troupe and once Abenthy shows Kote’s father his amulet he is indeed allowed. He finds an old man performing fake magic against the fearful mayor, but is more interested in how this man controls the wind. Kote began life in the Edema Ruh, a troupe of actors who were discriminated against by ignorant people despite being very smart. ![]() He’s used to doing things quickly because he has his own complicated method of recording which Kote learns in only 15 minutes- hinting at just how interesting he is. Kote takes him to the inn and agrees to tell his story, the Chronicler is reluctant to give him the amount of time he requests but eventually agrees. The Chronicler runs into him and is attacked by a spider demon. Kvothe has disguised himself as an innkeeper Kote and is training Bast. Similarly, whenever you think his main ‘love interest’ is actually going to pay him some interest, nothing happens between them. Furthermore, this is a fairly long book and as the first one in a trilogy, there is definitely some story set up but more-so, Kvothe just rambles on about story after story and dramatic things happen but there isn’t usually consequences. Up until that point I’d found Kvothe quite endearing (and I still believe he was quite a sweet boy who went through quite a lot and had no time or idea about love) but the sexism really started to anger me and I wanted to tell him, and Rothfuss, he didn’t deserve a medal just for not jumping on a girl. Each of the books in the trilogy is one of these days.įor the first 300 pages or so I was on track to give this book a much higher rating, but then I spoke to my friend about this book and she told me she hadn’t enjoyed it because of the representation of Denna and other emale characters. ![]() He agrees to tell his story to a writer over three days. But this man is determined not to be found and is instead living in disguise training a demon.
