favilo reviewed The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)
None
5 stars
I listen to this book so regularly. I've actually never read a paper copy. That needs to change, I believe.
Since discovering this book, Pat Rothfuss has shot up to the top of my recommendation list. I mean, there will always be a place for Butcher and Sanderson in my heart, and I will always be willing to recommend other names to read, but the combination of Rothfuss and Nick Podehl as narrator leaves me feeling giddy every time I listen to it. The pair can evoke more powerful emotions from me than almost everything else I've ever read.
(Parts from Skin Game notwithstanding.)
I feel like Podehl captures exactly the characters that Rothfuss put on the page, and I am completely unable to listen to the Rupert Degas version of these books.
I highly recommend this, and any other Rothfuss book that ever gets published.
