My name is Kvothe.
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
You may have heard of me.
So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature—the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man’s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Tämä olikin vetävämpi lukea kuin osasin odottaa. Toisaalta en myöskään osannut odottaa sitä, ettei tämä ollut missään suhteessa itsenäinen, kokonaisen tarinankaaren sisältävä kirja. Jopa trilogian avausosaksi tarina jäi häiritsevän kesken.
I don't usually read much fantasy, but I enjoyed this. The analog to Harry Potter comes from the first book focusing on the main character studies in magic.
Es un libro lento y pesado. Me costó unos cuantos episodios interesarme por la historia, pero luego me enganchó.
Por suerte era consciente de que se trataba del principio de una saga, porque no termina. Me he quedado un poco planchado al ver que, después de tantas páginas y tantos días leyendo las aventuras del protagonista, termina con un “Continuará.” En mi opinión, aunque se trate de una saga, cada libro debería cerrar al menos una parte importante de la trama.
Con todo, tengo ganas de seguir leyendo la Crónica del Asesino de Reyes para descubrir todos los entresijos.
