We still know as little about the Chandrain as before Kvothe went to University, but we do know that as a student in university he was still a prodigy with a gift for learning magic quickly, and might even be capable of learning how to speak the names of elements in the right way to control them--hence the book's title. We also know that whatever peace was to be found at the Wayfarer Inn has been shattered and not just by the arrival of Chronicler.
The Name Of The Wind is a fast-paced and entertaining first book of what promises to be an exciting series. Patrick Rothfuss has woven a nice net of past, present, and potentials to catch our interest and whet our appetite to find out what the future holds; both for the younger Kvothe, and his present day self as well.
