This was actually not that bad except for pages 400-850. Everything else was great. I read The Name of the Wind in January and it's most likely going to be in my top favourite book I read in 2018, but the middle of this dragged, and dragged, and dragged. While a flew through this book, I was just so bored until about page 850. Then it ended sort of okay. The intermissions were a bit annoying. I'm not interested in what's happening around the tale Kvothe is telling and I'm really too interested in there being a plot and problems in the intermission world.
