PART TWO OF THE NAME OF THE WIND '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 - now an unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. With his reputation at the university and the Eolian growing by the day, Kvothe's story takes him to Trebon and his legendary encounter with a dragon. Read by Rupert Degas

Excellent Read
I've been discontented with my reading choices lately so I bought this book on a whim. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a gripping diversion. I highly recommend it. My only disappointment was that the next book in the series will not be available until next year.

Perfect for the Ludic Reader
Pick up this book now if you're the kind of person who likes to lose himself or herself in a text. Rothfuss and Kvothe will lead you on a journey through a world that exalts knowledge and story-telling.
The rules for the world of Name of the Wind may seem familiar, as if they are nods to a handful of classic fantasy texts. Don't worry about that. What's important here is that the characters will also seem familiar: they read like real people. Mind, Kvothe will seem like a few of the more brilliant people you know, and Denna may seem more wiley than anyone you keep in close company, but these are realistic characters you can and should empathize with.
One warning: I found the first 70 pages to be a bit slow. If you make it past there, you're set for an immersing adventure.

Freakin' sick
This book is awesome. Once you start reading it and get to around page 20 you get really sucked in.
I suggest everyone reads this book.

Hooked from the beginning
This is one of the best books I have read. I was pulled in from the very beginning, and could hardly put this one down. The characters are wonderful, the story keeps you interested at all times, and is fresh. My only disappointment is that I have to wait for the rest of the trilogy.
