The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
5.0
I’m a sucker for high fantasy, a genre rooted in the brilliance of classic Tolkien. However, few of such titles translate well to non-fantasy readers. THE NAME OF THE WIND, then, is an ideal introduction into the fantasy fiction community for the logical, no-nonsense reader. Here is a world grounded in a sense of reality, with a consistent and believable explanation for its magic. Rothfuss delivers all the great checkpoints of a solid, compelling fantasy and then some. Epic, headstrong hero with a knack for trouble? Check. A finely crafted setting full of perilous travels? Check. An unlikely romance? Check. I demolished it, then the second (WISE MAN'S FEAR), and eagerly anticipate the third.
