Yes to both of these, especially what sublime said that's exactly what I was thinking while reading the book. I enjoyed reading it a lot, and I have never read a book (any book, let alone one 1000 pages long) this quickly (c. 2 days and 5 hours), but looking back at it now I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
I'm curious to see if Rothfuss really will wrap the story up with only one more book. Given how old Kvothe is at the end of book two and how old he is in real life (in the book that is), it seems like a lot of years to fit into one book.
