Recently, a couple of days ago in fact, I finished reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. As it's such a well known book in the world of YA fantasy, I thought it would make for an interesting review. So here we go.
The Name of the Wind is the life story of a world famous hero, murderer, arcanist and musician called Kvothe. However after all of his exciting exploits he disguised himself as an innkeeper called Kote in a humble village. One day, despite his best efforts to stay hidden, Kvothe is found by a scribe who wants to hear his life story. Eventually Kvothe agrees, and tells the scribe his tale...
Over all, I really enjoyed this book. It is quite long so it took me a while to read, which wasn't helped by the fact that when I got to bed I was so tired that I could only read five pages before my exhaustion took over. It is the first book in the Kingkiller Chronicles, which are a three books series. I have heard it described as "a book every fantasy lover needs to read" as well as "the cult of YA fantasy". I consider myself a fantasy novel enthusiast, therefore I decided that I had to read it. I would recommend it, although I don't think that it is mandatory for all fantasy lovers. I really liked reading from the main character's POV (point of view), and I was always excited to see what happened next. I found the relationships between characters incredibly interesting, also the setting of the story was cool to read about. I would love to go to The University! I would spend so much time in the Archives. I rate it 4/5 stars.
See you on Wednesday,
