The Name of the Wind – Book Review

The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss was a long read for me, but it was surely worth the time. It is the first book from The KingKiller Chronicle Series. Narrated in first person by the protagonist ‘Kvothe’, it makes you feel as if you are a part of his journey. Facing the ups and downs in his life with him.

One of the things which I really liked about this book, is that it comprises of all emotions. It has adventures in Kvothe’s life with a measured romantic angle. It showcases great friendship not just with people in his school, but places where he is employed. These friends are there to watch out for him. This novel has thriller and action, when Kvothe is caught off-guard in certain situation. More importantly, this book has mystery of faeries, demons, dragons, etc. I won’t spoil that for you, but the detailing is mind-blowing.

The best part about this book apart from a captivating plot, is the character building. The author has taken good amount of time to showcase characteristics of each and every character. Making it easier to imagine them and understand them better.

I would recommend this book to those who are interested in mystery with a tinge of magic to it. The novel contains all the elements that are required for you to be glued it and forget what’s happening around you.
