My pet theory is that something like at least 30 percent of these books, which are written as the main character dictating his life to someone, are lies and exaggerations.
I'm hoping so. If it's meant to be played straight, the main character is the biggest Mary Sue I've come across in published fiction.
Certainly all of the references to things not happening the way they would in stories, in addition to all of the exaggerated stories other characters tell about Kvothe, would lend support to this interpretation.
