The Name of the Wind is beautifully written and atmospheric, with pacing that kept me engaged and prose that flowed easily. I enjoyed the storytelling style and was never bored, but I also felt like “a lot happened and nothing happened” at the same time, the book reads more like an extended origin story than the start of a trilogy. While I liked the vibe and Kvothe’s voice, the stakes never felt very high, and I was left with more questions than answers about the magic system and the larger conflict. It’s a good book, but given the unfinished state of the series after almost twenty years, I’m not sure I’d recommend it right now despite enjoying the experience.
Besides being a very compelling read, this is one of the most beautifully-written books I've ever read. What a joy to read.

Ik heb dit boek echt verslonden. Goed geschreven en innemend verhaal.
"A word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself."
Я стільки разів перечитувала книжулю, що навіть не стану намагатись описати, наскільки вона чудова, і як правильно відчувається. Елодін пишався би мною. :)
