![]() ![]() ![]() Coming to the last page and closing it, while satisfying, left me longing for more, longing for the next book, to know what would happen to Kvothe–Rothfuss’ tenacious hero–next. Rothfuss’ writing is so good coming out of The Name of the Wind was more jarring and difficult than going into it. With subtle and simple eloquence, The Name of the Wind seduced me, immersing me in a world and a story that felt both alien and familiar, real and fantastical. The Name of the Wind was as enjoyable a fantasy as any I’ve read in the last couple decades. I seemed to keep bumping into Patrick Rothfuss’ inaugural work in his Kingkiller Chronicle: at the bookstore, friends’ recommendations, best epic fantasy lists… I had heard that The Name of the Wind was a good read, but I had no idea how much I would end up enjoying it. What follows is a gush of a review…but I really did like the book. ![]()
