Amazing and Captivating Book

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss1

This is one of the best books I have read in a very long time! It is sort of a fantasy type book. It is the story of Kvothe and starts when he is a young boy. It goes through his losses and victories and is full of action, magic, romance, mystery, and dramatic content. It is not a little kidie book, but not a hard-to-understand book either. Once you read the first 4-5 chapters you will be hooked until the very end. It is an excellent book and I assure you that you will not regret reading it.2

Here is what the back of the book says:3

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. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me' So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin.
