"The tale of Kvothe, from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages, you will come to know Kvothe as a notorious magician, an accomplished thief, a masterful musician, and an infamous assassin. But this book is so much more, for the story it tells reveals the truth behind Kvothe's legend"--From publisher description.

This review is going to be a short one. This book is a writing tour de force. You can arguably find its prose flowery or lyrical (I fall into the later category). You can dig into the storytelling or consider it lacks some conflict, drama or whatever ( here in halfway between both). However, in my opinion, what's undeniably is the author's writing skills and his mastery on the use of the language. If only for that reason I enjoyed the reading very much, although I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Please excuse my poor English, unlike Patrick Rothfuss, my language proficiency is way far from perfection.
