Denna
So, we all know who she is. Well, maybe not her name exactly, but we all know that whatever he real name is, it stars with a D. Diane. Dyanae. Denna.
It occurs to me that the Lay of Sir Savien Triliard may very well describe Kvothe and Denna's relationship.
Love lost, than found, than lost again.
He lost her when he left the caravan. He found her at the Eolian as he is singing this song, but where do you suppose he loses her for the last time? He does, obviously, for she is not present at the Inn.
Of course, the song also describes something of Lanre's story. He dies and loses Lyra, Lyra resurrects him and they find each other, then Lyra dies and the love is lost again. Odd, considering that Savien is one of the Amyr...
There is a lot of mystery surrounding Denna's patron. I read theories everywhere.
"I think he's one of the Amyr!"
"I think he's one of the Chandrain!"
"I think it's a plot twist and he's actually a dragon!"
"I think he's possessed by a skin-dancer!"
Actually, I take that back. I came up with the last two myself.
Wait, the last one might make sense... Then again, I literally had the idea as I typed it down, not to mention it's full of holes. The only skin-dancer we know could hardly speak coherently. Anyway, I won't attempt to dive into that one until I reread the second book and this review goes through yet another set of changes.
Sovoy says, when Kvothe meets Denna again for the first time, that if he promised her anything to repay her that she would order him off to find her a 'leaf from the Singing Tree' on the other side of the world.
This... ah...
Okay, I admit it's ridiculous, but when I heard Singing Tree, I immediately thought of the Cthaeh.
Kvothe also mentions Felurian around the same time the 'Singing Tree' is mentioned.
"I might keep referring to you as Felurian, but that would lead to confusion."
Felurian and the Cthaehareconnected, if you remember.
Denna has not so far called him "Dulator." And, if I'm remembering correctly, neither did Felurian in WMF. Correct me with a direct quote and page number if I'm wrong, please.
'My first mentor called me E'lir because I was clever and I knew it.My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it.I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller.'
Could there beanotherwoman we have yet to meet?
