My theory is that the male fantasy woman - "guy bait," if you will - is like Denna or the John Green girls: someone smart and funny and gorgeous and pretty much perfect; your unattainable best friend who always goes for the guys that make you feel small and useless, until one day she turns around and falls for you. So Denna isn't supposed to appeal to me anyway, which explains why I dislike her so much.

Honestly, I don't know if girls like that even exist - ya know, perfect ones, not smart and gorgeous - except in guys' imaginations. While they're pining. And at least we know that he doesn't end up with Denna *phew* because he's alone in his inn. Except for his student (who had better have a bigger presence in the next book, because I liked him). Although I guess she might show up again, because it's not just Kvothe telling his story; there's also the monster spider stuff going on, which is another thing I liked about the book.

I'm off to - tentatively - find a copy of Ursula le Guin's book. :)
