The Name of the Wind

The Kingkiller Chronicle, Book 1

De: Patrick Rothfuss

Narrado por: Rupert Degas

I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the university at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.

My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.

So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeeper - from his childhood in a troupe of travelling players, through his years spent as a near feral orphan in a crime riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic.

In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin.

The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best.

I expected more from the songs, because it's a key part of the story. But in general I am really satisfied with this book.

Get over your damn oneitis

Good adventure story with a serious female lead issue. Please stop whining about how very important she is.

Excellent narration brings out shades that could easily have otherwise felt flat.

masterpiece

This is by far the most artful fantasy I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I had to try the audio and was pleasantly surprised by the exellent voice acting bringing the stoy to life in a new way. Well worth the cash. But is the 3rd book worrh the wait?

i can never not love this book

the story and characters are great. the narrator gives us a very good immersion into the story with a variety of voices.

This is simply a must have heard audiobook if you love the fantasy genre. <3
