The Name of the Wind

Posted on 02 September 2017 by Patrick Rothfuss

Told in Kvothe s own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near feral orphan in a crime ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming of age story unrivaled in recent literature A high action story written with a poet s hand, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that will transport readers into the body and mind of a wizard.
