El nombre del viento / The Name Of The Wind: Primer dia / Day One by Patrick Rothfuss, Patrick Rothfuss

I did not enjoy the darkness of a lot of the early story, and often felt that the main character was being mercilessly beaten and picked on. Perhaps this was the author’s way of balancing him out (he may be a genius and good at everything he does, BUT he has terrible luck and every asshole gets to beat him). It didn’t feel like it balanced his genius to me, it just felt like reading about a 12 year old getting beaten for a hundred pages. Maybe I’m sensitive.
Still, there were ~500 pages of an amazing story, complete with a mysterious library, good friends, and many heroic escapades. A good read.
Having read this book, I’m conflicted about whether to pick up the second book in the series. This book was both amazing and terrible.

I do think the writing could have been more concise, there was no reason this had to be 700 pages. But the academia, conflict, magic, and desires were definitely compelling. The reveal at the end that I proudly predicted will be the main thing that keeps me going through the series. I would say this is an okay read, and perhaps good for fans of thick “hard fantasy” novels with lots of descriptions.

El protagonista es un "héroe" [(bastante) impaciente] al que no le sale casi nada bien.
Creo que lo único que no me acaba de gustar es la visión de los personajes femeninos.

Will I read the sequel: likely but not a priority since the third book hasn't come out yet.
