Kote is an innkeeper with a mysterious past. After a scraeling attacks his small town, and upon the chance arrival of the Chronicler, he consents to share the true story of his upbringing and past, including the truth behind the many rumours and stories surrounding Kvothe, aka himself, before his disappearance.
I really like this book, and recommend any fantasy fans give it a read. It's fairly generic, but there are a lot of twists, and it's very, very carefully written. All the loose ends have that going-to-be-tidied-up-in-the-rest-of-the-trilogy feel to them, and there aren't really any wasted words or pointless scenes. I'm getting a lot more of the hidden stuff this second read, but I'm sure there's still stuff I'm missing.
As an added bonus this is one of the books I have as a paperback and not on ereader, and I've been wanting the tactile feedback of reading an actual BOOK for a while, so this one was a win-win for me.
