Just finished The Name of the Wind. Lots of great passages, but not enough sweetness and too much bitterness for my taste in fantasy. The retelling of the story by a dispirited hero is an unfortunate format, as we already know that he does not really win in the end.
Hopefully the sequel is better, if I am to believe an Amazon reviewer that "most of the book is about Kvothe having sex and learning how to fight and having sex with people who train him to fight or fight with him."
