A review by erratic
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
2.0
I was very curious to start reading this novel after all this praise. I was sure that i wouldnt like it from what i have read but i decided to give it a try since someone gave it as a gift to me. I prefer darker and grittier fantasy.
The first chapters were a nice surprise for me. I liked the atmosphere and the world building. The mythology of the world that was blended to reality and the roguish mood of Tarbean times. All these collapsed for me when Kvothe entered the university. It was like reading a less flavory Harry Potter thing. I dont know what will follow and it might be interesting but Kvothe lost me somewhere in the road and what started as a suprisingly nice story turned to something cliched and boring that i couldnt follow.
