I think that's an unfair criticism. How different can live-in education be?

Sure, he made enemies with a rich, arrogant guy. You'll find that in almost every fantasy series of books ever written. Where are the other parallels?

As for the rest: the dragon bit was ridiculous, completely agree.

I also agree about the romance. It feels very contrived and the object of Kvothe's affection is utterly annoying.

I disagree about his perfection. He makes a lot of mistakes - mistakes that go very well with a person of prodigious (in every sense of the word) talent. For me, that part of his character was fine.

I didn't really like the book, but I didn't think it was that bad. And I will (probably, when I get time) read the second when it is out &c.
