None

I was worried that this re-read wouldn't hold up to my fond memories of having first read Name of the Wind almost 15 years ago. I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed it even more than the first time! Perhaps a decade+ of life experience has given me a new appreciation for our brilliant, impulsive, egotistical, traumatized protagonist.

Ich weiß nicht so wirklich, was ich mit der Geschichte anfangen soll.
Sie ist toll geschrieben und ein quick read.
Ansonsten steht Kvothe dem Protagonisten aus Dune in nichts nach und man bekommt fast das Gefühl, ja ist sich eigentlich sicher, dass beide zusammen, oder naja, vielleicht auch jeder für sich selbst, selbst die größten Probleme unserer Zeit zuverlässig lösen können.

epic adventure

Patrick Rothfuss wrote a masterpiece. My friend had lend it to me as her and introduced it as her favourite book, it did not disappoint. Well written, epic, tense, funny and a fantastic world around university, magic, adventure and love. Involving tragic moments, humour, suspense and surprises.

An excellent fantasy novel

I really like Kvothe's story and look forward to reading the next book. The usage of different timelines in the context of retelling in the book's present time was especially effective storytelling.

Review of 'The Name of the Wind' on 'Goodreads'

A deep dive into a fantasy world once again! Soooo 2006 of me

This book was recommended to me by one of my fav men to ever exist so I had to give it a try. It came at a perfect moment: summertime, a mellow malaise, and my parents' house. This resulted in spending a whole weekend in a horizontal position, reading this book; or in other words, I ate. this. up!!!

With this book I reverted back to my childhood, a time where I was constantly dipping my tippy toes into different fantasy worlds, reading non-stop, letting my imagination fly far away from good ole Tarragona. So, in a way, this has been a very nostalgic experience (love!!!!)

About the book: this is a textbook hero's journey. That being said, it is nice and fun to follow the adventures of this cheeky boy who is sooo good at everything. …

reviewed Il nome del vento by Patrick Rothfuss

Parte sotto le aspettative ma...

Onestamente non mi aspettavo molto dopo i primi capitoli, le premesse (che non spoilero) parevano un po' banali e scontate, in realtà la storia è un crescendo continuo, emozionante e commuovente a tratti. Ho trovato interessantissime anche le diserzioni dell'autore sul worldbuilding in chiusura del libro, cosa che non può che mettere in luce il lavoro di impalcatura che sta dietro alla storia, talmente ben fatto che non ti accorgi della sua esistenza finché qualcuno non te lo fa notare. Parto subito con il secondo, ben sapendo che purtroppo il terzo libro della trilogia è disperso da anni.

reviewed Der Name des Windes by Patrick Rothfuss

Page-turner

Well written, funny sometimes, like someone telling a story at a fireplace. Felt cozy to me.

Contains a few not-so-constructive patterns (like "I need to make my heart of stone to control emotions"), but for me it was Ok, definitely better than in "Consider Phlebas".

Review of 'The Name of the Wind' on 'Goodreads'

Bit scatterbrained and doesn't resolve all of its plot threads (book one and all that) but rollicking good fun. I'm not surprised to see Card comment on the back; it's got a lot of Ender's Shadow. You could even call it high fantasy Ender's Shadow, except it's a much better story with structural tricks, a fleshed out magical world that doesn't devolve into ratfic, a few three dimensional characters where it counts, and a sense of humor that makes the tragic bits all the more impactful.

Interesting world, lack of women

Really interesting world that serves as the backdrop to the standard "I'm a child prodigy and I know best" main character. Huge lack of female characters. Am left wanting to know more about the world, less about the main character. Will not get the next book due to the 3rd not being out and not looking like it will be out for some time (if ever).

Review of 'The Name of the Wind' on 'Goodreads'

Rothfuss is a phenomenal storyteller with a knack for filling out a world through action over exposition. His prose is a delight to read, and his descriptions are lush without being flowery.

Kvothe is an intriguing and nuanced character. Despite being gifted in sympathy, sygaldry, and music, he fucks up or finds himself in less-than-stellar situations on the regular. But his development and journey is more honest and realistic because of his numerous faults. His only being fifteen certainly helps that believability along.

I also love how the magic is a natural part of the world instead of the main focus. Though magical elements are there, and add quite a bit to the story, Kvothe's growth as a person is at the forefront of the tale.

Though a long read, I recommend The Name of the Wind to anyone looking for a great fantasy novel that focuses more on character …

No rating

Og der fikk jeg også lest denne. Jeg gikk til den med høye forventninger, men de ble bare delvis innfridd. Det er lett å engasjere i seg i verden og historien, men jeg klarte ikke helt å få sansen for hovedpersonen/fortelleren Kvothe. Unge Kvothe (som man stort sett følger) er selvgod og arrogant, og i tillegg er han best i alt mulig. Bøker om unge menn på eventyr er vel ofte slik. En rammefortelling med den eldre Kvothe som forteller om sin fortid, gjør at boka har et hakket mer reflektert forhold til disse klisjeene. Men ikke et særlig stort hakk, for den eldre Kvothe forteller en nøye regissert versjon av sin egen historie, og den bærer nå preg av de samme (litt irriterende) personlighetstrekka. Jaja.

Men det er jo noe med disse historiene om supertalentene som møter og overvinner motstand, jeg leser engasjert videre selv om jeg irriterer meg. …
