Synopsis (from Goodreads): Told in Kvothe's own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen.
The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming-of-age story unrivaled in recent literature.
A high-action story written with a poet's hand, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that will transport readers into the body and mind of a wizard.
Review: I now know what all the fuss was about. Patrick RothFuss (insert laughter...lol). What a delightful writer and what a delightful book. Incredible use of words, a mastery of imagined worlds and a flair for imagery that i have rarely encountered. He is one of my favourite new authors. If you've never read this book, go out and get it. If you love fantasy and have yet to hear of this book, go out and get it. If you've, like me, heard whispers through the grapevine about it, then please don't waste any more time and go out and get yourself a copy. This book will... not change your life, but it will make you remember what epic fantasy at its best can be.
