epic adventure

Patrick Rothfuss wrote a masterpiece. My friend had lend it to me as her and introduced it as her favourite book, it did not disappoint. Well written, epic, tense, funny and a fantastic world around university, magic, adventure and love. Involving tragic moments, humour, suspense and surprises.

Unterhaltsam, aber ich verstehe den Hype nicht so ganz

Eine unterhaltsame, aber extrem langsame Geschichte. Ein wenig Harry Potter in der (gut ausgearbeiteten) Fantasywelt. Ich habe immer darauf gewartet, dass mal was "richtiges" passiert ... nur das kam nie.

Page-turner

Well written, funny sometimes, like someone telling a story at a fireplace. Felt cozy to me.

Contains a few not-so-constructive patterns (like "I need to make my heart of stone to control emotions"), but for me it was Ok, definitely better than in "Consider Phlebas".

Review of 'The Name of the Wind' on 'Goodreads'

I just finished rereading what I consider this decade's best fantasy novel, The Name of the Wind. The best way I can describe it, is a memoir told by the main character of the tale. It's got everything you could want, including dragons.
