The Name of the Wind - Review

This is a brilliant novel by a new author Patrick Rothfuss. I listened to the audiobook and it is done excellently.

This novel is about a hero named Kvothe, a hero, a musician, and a magician. He owns an inn now and is telling his story. It begins brilliantly as he is raised as a travel performer with his family. He learns a lot about science and sympathy from a scholar that travels with them. Later he finds himself alone in a town where he has no money and has to survive, a great story of poverty, until he tries to join the university. This university teaches science and sympathy and he is eager to learn. He is able to impress with his knowledge and get in despite how little money he has. He quickly excels in all of his classes and learns how to play music well enough to gain money to keep attending the university and a place to stay.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It was very unique and a very exciting read. For being as many pages as it was, it was an excellent page turner. I really enjoyed it, and the audiobook was simply amazing. I highly recommend it for you all to check out.

5/5 Stars.
