I'd like you to read the Neverending Story, carefully. Take notes if you must, and then re-read Kvothfuss. If you can't see the overblown, meaningless pathos, the one-dimensional characters and the horrid pacing (500 pages "wizard needs money badly", each book, no progressing of the main storyline at all) now, you will then. And you'll thank me.

as if!

Now, for starters you could read the "Neverending Story" (inb4 children's book/the movie sucks) and then you should be good to go.

Michael Ende is an underrated genius. Most people will just pass him off as a children's book writer and never give him a second thought or try out The Mirror in the Mirror or the Prison of Freedom.

The Neverending Story is by far my favorite book ever. I've reread it in various stages of my life and every time I find a new symbolism, a new meaning, a new depth, and it makes me connect to it even more. It's that one book that has helped me become a better person.

Too bad the movie was such a piece of shit.

To be honest, I do not know of any other author who can write with such depth and make it accessible to all ages. Do check out all his tales. The Long Road to Santa Cruz is amazing, in case it's one of the few things you have missed out.
