“I just love the world of Patrick Rothfuss.” —Lin-Manuel Miranda
 
OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD!

DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND
 
My name is Kvothe.

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.

You may have heard of me.
 
So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature—the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man’s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Patrick Rothfuss

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Patrick Rothfuss had the good fortune to be born in Wisconsin in 1973, where the long winters and lack of cable television encouraged a love of reading and writing.

After abandoning his chosen field of chemical engineering, Pat became an itinerant student, wandering through clinical psychology, philosophy, medieval history, theater, and sociology. Nine years later, Pat was forced by university policy to finally complete his undergraduate degree in English.

When not reading and writing, he teaches fencing and dabbles with alchemy in his basement.

    Patrick Rothfuss doesn't even need another glowing review - but I'll make one anyway. I was introduced to this book a few years ago and enjoyed the hell out of it. Kvothe is almost so perfect (at first) that he's annoying; brilliant, clever (not exactly the same thing!), funny, adorable... but he's also complicated. He can be a bit egotistical (which can get him into trouble) and a bit blind to other's true feelings (mostly only with Denna!) But he's an easy character to root for and to love, The adventures are many, the other characters are memorable, and the story is very compelling. Which leads me to a criticism that Mr.Rothfuss & his fans will find totally unsurprising: that while the author kindly gave us a compelling sequel (a Wind in the Door) and 2 small novellas (the Slow Regard of Silent Things & The Narrow Road Between Desires), he has *not* yet given us the last book of the trilogy: The Door of Stone. Mr. Rothfuss has said he is plagued by the compulsion to re-write & that the process has been & probably will be long. It's ok. (I won't say it doesn't suck, lol, but for someone THIS good? I can wait!) Also, bonus point to my review: because I long ago gave away my original smaller paperback to my son because I insisted he read it, I needed a new copy for my own bookshelf. Now that my daughter wants to read the book. And I really wanted the larger paperback., I know it's ridiculous, but I like those, paperbacks that while not large print/type, are just bigger/more substantial to hold in my hand! (Almost but not quite hardback-sized??) I actually scoured the dimensions in the descriptions until I thought I had chosen the right one and luckily for me, I did. So if you're looking for those larger copies, this is the addition that I got! And do yourself a favor, also check out the audiobooks are narrated by Nick Borel (I believe) &/or Mr. Rothfuss. Absolutely fantastic!! (And free if you borrow a copy from your local library!!!)

  • Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2013
    I read the reviews for this book, both good and bad, before purchasing it. I read it from cover to cover before sitting down to this review. This is a really good book in the fantasy genre, I wanted to give it 4 or 4.5 stars because I felt it was too 'modern' in style compared to Tolkien or even GRR Martin, then realized that it was my bias of the 'way things should be' and not the merit of the book I was reviewing. This book gets the full 5 stars with absolutely no reservations.

    The main character Kvothe is the kid with untapped powers that Harry Potter made familiar but Potter wasn't original either. He's a combination of a genius, quick learner, musical prodigy, and hopelessly incompetent with girls. I know all the people reading this are international gigolos who have to chase off Playmates with a stick, but I related to the awkward kid with a first crush who wanted with every fiber of his being to talk to the girl he liked and couldn't find the right words in the thousands of hypothetical dry-runs that worked through his mind. That was definitely a humanizing touch for a kid that might have been much more inaccessible to a reader due to his overall excellence. There were some criticisms of Kvothe being too perfect, but early and often he fails to do things he should, does things he shouldn't, and suffers consequences for them all, both internal and external.

    The writing style sets this book apart from the breathless action of pulp D&D style fantasy books, and for me seemed to be what I would describe as luxurious. We were taken along in the story with sufficient attention to details and world-building, but not overlong and overdrawn descriptions of every blade of grass, like a relaxing boat ride down a lazy river. Certain aspects, the history, the mode of magic in Kvothe's world, etc. got more attention but always added breadth and depth without overburdening the reader. Other times, Kvothe's life meandered down roads and pathways that didn't lead to the forging of a fantasy novel hero, just like real life. However, I was turning the pages every bit as fast as a pulse-pounding hack-and-slash story, but it was just to sink deeper into the world being woven around me. At least through the first book, it seems to have less world-building backstory than Game of Thrones, and wayyyy less than Tolkien, but I'm all the more glad for it. It's all fine and good to create your own syntax for elven, or dwarvish, or Klingon, but nobody's going to pretend that at 12 years old they knew what the hell Tolkien was talking about all the time. This was a nice, interesting, easily-consumed story that never felt burdensome or like a slog through x number of pages to get to a "good" part.

    If I had to nit-pick this book, just to appear fair, I'll give you 3 nits. First, it would be that the author falls victim to the fantasy-trope belief that in order to portray 'foreign lands' and people from them, there has to be a bunch of unpronounceable consonants jammed together to form a person or place name, or fragments of a language, and throw in some unaccountable apostrophes for good measure. I could care less if I never have to skip over another nonsense name like Cthystler'rn in a fantasy novel again. There are a handful of these in this book, but they never really take center stage or leave you in the lurch for not trying to decipher that gibberish. Second, sometimes the young Kvothe is frustrating in his impotence when trying to express his love for his off-and-on girlfriend, and you really think he's a putz, but his obliviousness never strays outside the realm of the believeable. Third, and possibly the most troubling (but not to me) is that by the end of the book you've done a lot and been on a lot of adventures, but nothing has really brought you noticeably closer to the overarching mystery that is the reason for the story in the first place. The lore of the Chandrian is doled out in such tiny morsels you really don't know much more at the end than you did at the start. In this aspect it definitely reads like the first book of a trilogy, but at 750 something pages it had plenty of heft and there's no way they could have trimmed it down without losing the charm and the luxury that I liked so much in the first place. Make of that what you will.

    I held out on ordering the second book in the trilogy due to some of the negative reviews, I'll have to grudgingly call them 'haters', that indicated that The Name of the Wind starts losing focus partway, or midway, or most-way through, but I didn't see that to be true at all. It was really a delightful read all the way through, and I wish I had more time to read more of it at each sitting. I did indeed order the second book in plenty of time for it to be here waiting for me, and I am anxious to get started on it asap.

    Bottom line: A definite 5 star book with a nice story in a world you won't mind soaking into for a while.

    Avevo già letto questo libro un po' di anni fa' preso in prestito da mia figlia. Mi è piaciuto molto (aspetto il terzo volume da parecchio, come tutti quelli che si sono affezionati al mondo di Rothfuss). Questo libro lo comprato perché una edizione con l'introduzione fatta dall'autore e anche perché era di seconda mano.La storia e scritta in maniera favolosa, con tutti gli elementi dei miglior racconti fantasy. La raccomando ha quelli che si vogliono avvicinare a questo tipo di letteratura. E direi anche di comprare i libri di seconda mano,anche se hanno un piccolo danno non cambia la storia che loro raccontano.

    Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2021
    I hadn't read a fiction novel in a long time and it started slowly for me, but once I got into it, I was totally engrossed in the story and blew through it in a few days. The quality of the writing is really incredible, its beautiful prose. There is a lot of depth and complexity to the story and I will definitely read again. This book has earned its reputation. I listened to the audio version and personally it was the best narration I've heard. I thought the second book in the series was even better, and if you were ever considering delving into this series, now is the time, as there are rumors of the third books release later this calendar year. Enjoy!
