It's about time, I can hear some of you saying. This guy raves about Neil Gaiman, talks a lot about the mythology of story whenever he talks about Fables or The Unwritten, and he still hasn't managed to read Patrick Rothfuss? Where does he get off?Well, consider that error corrected. As mentioned...
4.5 stars, knocking off a star because while this has more of an ending than some serial books, it doesn't have *much* of one. You could argue that this book is the growth of Kvothe from his destitute state pretty early on to someone with a bit of a reputation and enough money to be a little bit sec...
This is the first book from Patrick Rothfuss and I am very impressed. He tells a great story that has action, magic, and humor. To me those are three things that make a great story. The magic system is easy to understand and doesn't go overboard with it's complexity (I'm looking at you Brandon Sa...
This is written more as it is a cross-post to Facebook than anything else. I didn't want to stop reading. Work and sleep be damned. I wanted to devour day one in just a day, but I'll have to settle for three. If you enjoy reading fantasy and you're on my FB, find this book and read it. If you're hav...
Back in the day, they used to do fantasy like this. I wasn't born at that time, but I've heard about it through old, unforgettable stories told at midnight, near the campfire. Faces lit up by the flames, playing demonic games when smiling, an old, thin and tired man speaking words of a thousand wint...
Audiobook Notes at the EndI really enjoyed The Name of the Wind. I thought it was a unique approach to deconstruct the hero and make him seem more like everyone else. Most of the epic tales that surround Kvothe are nothing more than misunderstood stories - he takes an herbal remedy to prevent bleedi...
Okay, this is my first DNF that I'm actually giving a rating, because dang it, I got to almost the very end before I finally gave up.My brother loved this book. My brother usually has the same taste in dark fantasy as I do, but I just could NOT like The Name of the Wind.It had a lot of great elemen...
I really liked this form of presentation and found myself really curious about Kvothe and the other patrons of his inn. Most importantly I am very interested in what we haven't learned yet about Kvothe's life before he became an inn keeper and I eagerly await the second book
