Yeah, I think I get the idea.

Looked up some interesting reviews and found this:
>Although the general consensus is that this book is amazing, I've come across a few people who don't like it because of the character of Kvothe. Personally, I couldn't disagree more.
Kvothe has wonderful character details. The author has shown what a young, talented boy with power will do. Every other novel shows the protagonist hating his fame & power, which is a major cliche. Kvothe may be a bit arrogant, he may be proud of his abilities, but he's not evil.
Another thing I loved was how legends have been shown in this book.How simple incidents exaggerate to become the legends and tales of Kvothe "the Bloodless". That was truly amazing.
Many people like to compare the Kingkiller Chronicles with the Harry Potter series. I admit it, nothing can ever be better than Harry Potter (except Naruto), but that doesn't mean this series is a failure. There's bound to be a difference between a 7-book & a 3-book series. But there are many things in NOTW which HP lacks, & vice-versa.
>I just don't think that people should criticise such a gemstone of a book without comparing it with the general stuff available in the fantasy genre.

I think I'm getting a better idea of the audience and why this book has so many great ratings.
