This is genuinely one of the best books I’ve read lately I have a few discrepancies with it but have thoroughly enjoyed it and the other books so far

Loved it.

Loved it!

But happy to wander in Kvothe’s world. I hope the friend who recommended these books is wrong and the series has been completed.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was able to be mature, innovative, engaging, and innocently naive at the same time. I have read so many very heavy, soul quenching, grasping to be overly dark book’s lately. This surprised me pleasantly. I look forward to reading the next book.

The prose in this story is absolutely beautiful. The opening to this story hooked me instantly and I felt the struggle of Kvothe’s life become so immersive. While I can understand some criticisms against the story with the characters or the plot, the world of the Kingkiller chronicle hooked me from the start and kept me reading for hours on end. I’ve yet to read book 2, but I definitely recommend ‘the Name of the Wind’.

This book was amazing. The name of the wind is the life story of and told by Kvothe, starting from when he was 11 to his current life around 20. I’ve never had a book where I could understand a characters thoughts so well, and there was a point at page 900 that has it be my favorite part of the book, and I hope you’ll take the reason to find why. Only downside most won’t like is that after 12 years this series third book (there are two books from other characters in the series but they don’t complete Kvothes story) still hasn’t been written so if you want a ending to the chronicles you may have to wait or be in that state of depression when you finish a book and don’t know what else to do anymore

One of the most beautiful stories I have read in my life. The author’s expression of emotion and experiences are heart wrenching as well as uplifting.

A well written novel with a great story to be told! There were many unexpected twists that made it hard to put down. If you’re looking for a new world to escape to this it.

Where to start? We know the end of this story from the moment it kicks off. Hear me out. Name of the Wind is essentially told in a first style with Kvothe taking us on this trip down memory lane. The stuff this guy goes through is amazing and the triumph is equally as satisfying. This is one of the most well crafted fun stories I’ve read. It’s not the wild adventure or traditional coming of age story. Instead it combines the two elements, flips some troupes on their heads line love all in a pseudo dark f fantasy realism setting. It was a journey told through the eyes of a character who has long left behind a life he remembers so vividly. He’s not a warrior in the traditionally sense but he shows a heart like no other. There’s a two a dimensional aspect to some of the supporting cast that is strategically done in a way that allows readers, us to focus on the true Kvothe. Don’t expect a lot of twist and turns, but there is one that’s both subtle and punch in the gut. I love it. This is a revenge story flipped on its head and takes a methodical approach to give us a story that does two things. Answers some questions but leaves us wanting more.
