cuddlefish posted:This is cool, because my take on it was the complete opposite- that he was basically saying, "I thought it was the old days and I was going to kick their scummy, bullying bandit asses, but... I can't anymore." I took it more like Benson did in that it seemed to me that he was just not kicking rear end to try and protect his identity. But now that I think about it, didn't the book have a line about Kvothe trying to use the two handed break that the little girl taught him and that he looked surprised when it failed? Though at the very end it has something about him going downstairs and making "one perfect step" which implies that if he did lose his true name, he was able to keep his Ketan somehow. I have the book on Kindle, so it's a pain in the rear end to go back and look over older sections. Also, I agree about the Kvothe's mother angle. That seems to fit with everything in the book, and with him having the chest later on. Do we think the really soldierly guy with the Maer was an Amyr or one of the Chandrian though? That was my first thought when the hate tree said something about the Maer being closer to the Amyr than he knew, though it could have something to do with the box. Overall, I enjoyed the book but I agree with people about THAT scene, and also I really did think he would have been kicked out of the University by the middle of the book. And when he went back to visit the city where he grew up as a street urchin, I really thought he would go talk to the priest from the first book who seemed to know more about what was going on. Deena annoys me, but I don't hate the scenes, I just want them to be over so we can get onto something thats worth a drat.

Ok, from the link above:quote:
I haven't read Wheel of Time in a long time, but isn't this exactly what happened with the desert people and the gypsies in that story?
