I don't really know about fandom, but I certainly do.
Oh good! :) Bast is definitely my favorite thing about the present-day storyline, and I can't wait to get to the part of the story where Kvothe first meets him and takes him on as a student.
and the visit to the shoemaker as a sort of culmination of it - the shoemaker bit and the symbolism of it really stuck with me.
I did like the shoemaker scene... one thing about Tarbean, I guess, is that it felt to me a bit too much like the city was divided into saints and monsters, with the exception of the pawn shop owner, maybe, who was adequately gray.
I quite liked the colloquiality of the language, and the mixing of actual scientific and invented scientific words. For me that added up to a pretty modern feel, which I thought went very well with the generally scientific nature of the magic.
the hero is a redhead singer actor warlock extraordinaire, seriously, in no universe I would say no to that."
Heh. I think there might be a line coming beyond which Kvothe will start feeling simply too unbelievable to me under the weight of all that amazingness, but for now I felt like all of his skills were within my abilities to suspend disbelief for. (And I do have a soft spot for redheads as well :)
And thank you for the fanart links! Very pretty! Having looked at several representations of Kvothe now, I find myself wondering more about what the secondary characters look like. I think, perverse as ever, I most want to see fanart of the University masters, which I doubt exists... :P
