זהו סיפורו של קווֹתה – מילדותו בלהקת שחקנים נודדים, דרך השנים שעברו עליו כיתום חסר־בית בעיר גדושת פושעים, עד לניסיונו הנועז והחצוף להיכנס בשערי בית ספר מסוכן וקשה לכישוף, ולקבלתו כתלמיד. קווֹתה - המכשף הנודע, הגנב המושלם, המוסיקאי האמן, הרוצח הידוע לשמצה – מספר לנו את הסיפור שחושף את האמת שמאחורי אגדת קווֹתה.
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.
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.

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".

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.
