Sarchasm posted:The biggest problem I had with this book that we are constantly told that Kvothe is a genius, and yet his actions never actually reinforce it. He's always doing some damned stupid thing, falling for the most obvious of ruses from his "rivals," and generally being a twat. But it's okay, because the next paragraph is going to tell us how awesome he is. That's what really smart, awesome people do: Fall for obvious scams and then throw tantrums about it. He's a kid, dude. Kids do stupid things sometimes and then claim that they know everything. That is what happens when you are young.

Bizob posted:And he also does do things that demonstrate that he is very talented: earn his pipes on his first try with a broken instrument, gain admission and get the University to pay HIM tuition at an extremely young age, convince the faculty that he shouldn't be bothered to take beginners classes, KILL A DRAGON. He might be talented at music, bullshitting, dragonslaying and so on, but that doesn't mean he is 100% infallible. Everybody makes mistakes bro.
