I reread it 6 times now, and each time I see something different. Did you know that Kvothe is Calling the Name of the Wind several times throughout the book? Nearly every persuasive conversation he has, he is actually calling the wind on accident. He is also doing it to the reader. It gets pretty deep with several rereads.

First time I read your books I was a young teen and was changed, my look on fantasy books and life were different. Then when wise mans fear came out, I didnt read it till I was later in university. Studying overseas in the usa, I felt like a young student qvothe. Now days, with the state of the world, I've settled in and grown a beard, now I understand why he left the world. I still await this third book although I have grown up now, these books have always had a small place in my heart.

Currently reading the name of the wind while listening to the audiobook. I can't imagine taking 14 yrs just to write 1 book. I guess that's why it has gotten rave reviews and I hear nothing but fantastic things about it

I'm only up to the third or fourth chapter, but this book seriously makes me teary - because of the writing. This is exactly what I want to write like, everything feels so intuitive. You know Kvoth is hiding something, and it's all done so cleverly, nothing feels cheesy. I'm so jealous.

The Name of The Wind is one of the greatest books I've ever read. Patrick captures so much and creates such a vast world, you can't help but embrace it and love it. I can't wait til the rest of the trilogy comes out. Thank you Patrick for writing this book.

I came to see young Pat, did not disappoint!

Patrick Rothfuss said to Kvothe live, and he did!

For most of 'The Name of the Wind' I wanted to hug and protect Kvothe so much and then towards the end I really wanted to kiss and be protected by him. Such a great character. It's amazing how he's such an un-relatable character in so many ways: his intelligence, the world he inhabits, his bravery... But despite him being so farfetched in so many ways you can't help but love him and feel really invested in his story.

Good book. I'm taking my time reading the lines and inbetween so I don't have to wait to long for the next part.

If anyone wants to know another series written this well with deep character work you might try the Patrick O'Brian canon of the tale of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, a phenomenal buddy story ranging 20 books. "Master and Commander" is first in the series. You may have seen the movie. Depth, excellent writing, the kind of books where you live with the characters, humor, and written by a deep and erudite mind like our Rothfuss.

I have found my favourite author. Best wishes Patrick!

Sooo amazing, love this book!

Many people criticise this series for being rambling and devoid of action, and it is, but is that really a bad thing. So many books are so plot oriented that they fail to capture the realistic aspects of life. Life doesnt have a plot. Life doesnt have constant action. Life is just a series of events that occasionally lead toward a bigger picture. This book is about a man's life. It is beautifully written and the things that happen will surprise and delight you, however, since it is about a man's life they will not seem to lead towards a common conclusion nor will they follow an obvious plot. However if you look closely you can see that everything in the book is there for a reason, and if you look closely you can see how each event leads him closer to dena and the chandrian. Let me ask, would you rather take a road trip where you simply stay in the car for hours and arrive somewhere to only realize your back where you started and accomplished nothing, or a trip where you take many stops along the way, see sights that amaze you and make you rethink your way of life, and arrive home enriched by what you saw. If you would prefer the latter you would enjoy this book. And if you would prefer the former, dont waste youre time there are manny other books you could be doing that with.

I think the biggest problem with this series is, that it "promises" an entirely different story than it actually tells. If you have a look at the short description on the back cover, it talks about how this is the live story of an awesome wizard, warrior and artist, who did all kinds of epic things. The book even starts with the protagonist killing some demons, before starting his story with his infamous "I'm did so many awesome things" speech. So I think it's fair to assume, that you are about to read an epic, heroic fantasy story. But then it turns out, that 80% of this story is about life at the university and the epic fantasy plot is pretty much buried under mundane activities (I wouldn't be surprised, if the words "Rhetoric and Logic" were used more often in these books, then the word "Chandrian"). Having a more "realistic" fantasy life story is not bad in of itself. However, if you don't want to read a story, you still won't like it. When I bought The Name of the Wind, I had a certain expectation as to what it might be and what I actually got was pretty different. I still ended up liking the story it told (at least for the most part), but I can easily imagine a person buying this book with certain expectations and being extremely disappointed to find out, that it's actually an entirely differnt genre than the cover would suggest. I mean: Within the story itself, there is a moment where the Chronicler is extremely disppointed to find out, that a story he heard about Kvothe was actually way less epic in reality. If even the characters in the book are disappointed by finding out that this epic story is actually way more boring in reality, how can you blame the reader for it? ;)

The start of this interview is describing me and dancing

I wonder what Kvothe would say of a storyteller who came to town and over a few days told an epic tale that captured his audience.... and then left town half way through the telling leaving everyone confused and frustrated.......

i finished name of the wind 2 weeks ago and wise mans fear 2 days ago i can't w8 until the stone door !!!!

and intense longing for the rest of the story!

It took me a LONG time to get into this book because of the rambling roundabout style he used. After 8 or 9 tries I finally settled into it and now I'm onto the second book... I'm really digging it now. I'm so impressed by the time he took to craft a character... There isn't much "action" in the first two books...but the story is interesting.
