Book Review: The Name of the Wind

Rothfuss, Patrick.  The Name of the Wind: The King Killer Chronicles, Book 1.  2008.  DAW Books.

Kvothe, the most powerful magician of this, or any age, begins recalling his early life - and the experiences that made him into a household name and a legend in his own time.  Currently living as an innkeeper in a small, in the middle of nowhere town, he strives to keep his name and true identity hidden from the people that he lives with.  When the Chronicler appears seemingly out of nowhere, he cajoles Kvothe into telling his tale so that the truth - not the legends - can be recorded for all time. 

The story weaves through the extraordinary circumstances that surround Kvothe's early life and the beginning of the Legends that will surround Kvothe until the end of his days.


This story moves fast, and you will find yourself wound into the tale and intertwined with the characters faster than you can name the wind...
