Ah, yes. Back to the tales of Mathurin Kerbouchard. Hello, old friend.

Oh my gosh, the similarities between Kvothe and Mathurin are ridiculous... I wonder if Mr. Patrick Rothfuss read The Walking Drum as a child...?

Except for the romance aspect of course. Kvothe doesn't get unrealistically good with ladies until the last half of the second book. Mathurin seems to have ALWAYS been ridiculously good with women.

Having a lot of fun rereading this book. :D

Okay, seriously. Kerbouchard totally reminds me of Kvothe. I mean, they both come from a culture that reveres standing-stones, for crying out loud!
