DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND
My name is Kvothe.
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
You may have heard of me.
So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature—the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man’s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.
Customer Reviews
BE WARNED
This series is very good. One of the best I’ve read in a while. I would highly recommend it EXCEPT the second book in this series came out in 2011. It leaves off on quite the cliff hanger with many questions unanswered and the story clearly unfinished. The author has given us no insight into when the last book will come out. At the time I’m writing this review it’s been twelve years with no answers. So, in summary, this is a very good book, but I wouldn’t start this series if you aren’t okay with not knowing the ending. It’s looking like it may not happen at this point.
The Name of the Wind
I enjoyed this book very much. It was able to be mature, innovative, engaging, and innocently naive at the same time. I have read so many very heavy, soul quenching, grasping to be overly dark book’s lately. This surprised me pleasantly. I look forward to reading the next book.
Too good
This book was amazing. The name of the wind is the life story of and told by Kvothe, starting from when he was 11 to his current life around 20. I’ve never had a book where I could understand a characters thoughts so well, and there was a point at page 900 that has it be my favorite part of the book, and I hope you’ll take the reason to find why. Only downside most won’t like is that after 12 years this series third book (there are two books from other characters in the series but they don’t complete Kvothes story) still hasn’t been written so if you want a ending to the chronicles you may have to wait or be in that state of depression when you finish a book and don’t know what else to do anymore
