A review by anbat
El nombre del viento by Patrick Rothfuss

5.0

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

I've been postponing the reading of this books for two years, and now that I have already read it I just can ask myself: Why have you postponed it!?
It is the best book I've read in a while. It is clever, it is funny, and sad. And it treats words as if they were more than that.
