Haha, I totally didn't think that too - I love all this magical school stuff ;)

I can see the comparisons to Harry Potter. Mind you, when I read those, it reminded me of the X-Men a bit, so these things echo.
At any rate, I am really enjoying this book. It's taking me by surprise, honestly. It's been a while since I read a book I enjoyed this much.
I was carrying it at my last writers' group meeting, and several of them all remarked on it, each of them also saying how much they liked it.
I'd never heard of this book till it was picked for this month, and I'm grateful it was selected. I just finished Chapter 56, which leaves me with a dilema. On the one hand, I'd love to plow ahead, work permitting. On the other, I have several short story submissions due the month and some novel revisions to do. Tough choice.

*sigh*
Well, it's better than not knowing at all. A solid date would be great though. Rothfuss is the only author whose books I preorder so as soon as they put out a real date it goes straight to my calendar.
With the next Gentleman Bastard confirmed for this year (theres even cover art out) and if this and Winds of Winter made it out it would be an insanely good end to the year. Alas I don't think all three will surface.

I'm starting Wise Man's Fear today and hoping I can finish it before the end of the month.
It took me a minute to remember where I had heard of "The Mating Habits of the Common Draccus" -- it's the book that Chronicler wrote. That gave me a chuckle.
