The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
4.0
A few of my friends have been recommending this book to me for a long time, and I get why to some extent.
The way Patrick Rothfuss writes is both engaging, easy, and eloquent. I didn’t have any problems reading the book by any means. I love the magic system and its chemistry feel to it, kinda explainable in a way.
I think Kvothe is so horribly annoying and unlikeable. Why is he so unexplainably good at everything? All the while being smart and snarky about it. His only setback is being poor, which he overcomes most, if not every time. My favorite parts of the book are when he fails miserably, the best when he broke all his bones to win over Elodin.
Even when he claims to be bad with women, all women do is fall over him helplessly.
I still did like this book, it’s just a shame the protagonist is so unlikeable. I will read the next book and join my friends in waiting for the third that seemingly won’t ever release.
All that being said I did enjoy it. Kvothe though…
