 Ma_Washigeri | Jan 23, 2021 |  While Kvothe is kind of annoying, the characters are just okay, and the plot was just okay mostly with a splattering of good, the writing itself was where this really shined for me. I loved the writing style and it's a lot of the reason I kept reading and will probably continue with the series. Without the writing style this would be a 3, middle of the road but still good, the writing bumps it to a 4. (  ) Airainai | Jan 4, 2021 | I put off reading this book for a while because it is so long and part of an incomplete series. However, yesterday I found myself tearing through four hundred pages worth while sitting in my car outside Starbucks. The story isn't terribly complex, but the characters are interesting and it's a great adventure story. ( ) resoundingjoy | Jan 1, 2021 | I finished it just 15 minutes ago. There's no doubt Rothfuss is a genius. The story speeds along, pulling you behind. His poetry describing music, love, mystery and wonder, friendship, and magic is mesmerizing, forcing its readers more deeply into this miracle we call life. It is an incredible work, and so much to love. Yet, it lacks something, and I felt leaves you hanging, wanting more, which could be just the point. Or a cheap story-tellers trick to keep your attention. Unlike Le Guin's Earthsea series, it lacks a masterful conclusion, and there aren't any mages who exude the wisdom of the ages. None of Rothfuss' Masters are exceedingly lovable or awe-inspiring, and so I wonder where Kvothe is headed. Without a guide, what's his telos (or goal)? I can't help but feel like Rothfuss is very much like Kvothe - extraordinarily gifted, but arrogant. We will see - does Kvothe mature? Or does he die blind to his narcissistic love of self? ------ After a few days, and the dust has started to settle, I have to say: The Name of the Wind is definitely one of the best works of fiction I've ever read. Few stories are as compelling. And no one captures the beauty of life, seen in music or love or wonder, like Rothfuss. My critiques remain. But I admit my own arrogance (and perhaps jealousy) was what fueled docking it a star. Definite 4 stars. ( ) nrt43 | Dec 29, 2020 | New personal favorite. I'm really enjoying the story within a story structure. I'm on to the sequel! (  ) cypher2048 | Dec 28, 2020 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
The tale of Kvothe, from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players to 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 as a notorious magician, an accomplished thief, a masterful musician, and an infamous assassin. But this book is so much more, for the story it tells reveals the truth behind Kvothe's legend. No library descriptions found. |

Just read the reviews on the second book and I advise myself to skip it and continue with the third book if it ever gets written. (
