by Patrick Rothfuss

Daw | April 7, 2009 | Trade Paperback

Based on 70 ratings | Rate this

The riveting first-person narrative of a young man who grows to be the most notorious magician his world has ever seen. From his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that transports readers into the body and mind of a wizard. It is a high-action novel written with a poet's hand, a powerful coming-of-age story of a magically gifted young man, told through his eyes: to read this book is to be the hero.

One of the Best
by J C

One of the best novels that I have read in a long time. It was very emotional and at times I was on the verge of tears. You really develop an understanding and it feels like you know Kvothe on a personal level. One of those books that I didn't want to end.
