Starred Review. The originality of Rothfuss's outstanding debut fantasy, the first of a trilogy, lies less in its unnamed imaginary world than in its precise execution. Kvothe ("pronounced nearly the same as 'Quothe' "), the hero and villain of a thousand tales who's presumed dead, lives as the simple proprietor of the Waystone Inn under an assumed name. Prompted by a biographer called Chronicler who realizes his true identity, Kvothe starts to tell his life story. From his upbringing as an actor in his family's traveling troupe of magicians, jugglers and jesters, the Edema Ruh, to feral child on the streets of the vast port city of Tarbean, then his education at "the University," Kvothe is driven by twin imperatives—his desire to learn the higher magic of naming and his need to discover as much as possible about the Chandrian, the demons of legend who murdered his family. As absorbing on a second reading as it is on the first, this is the type of assured, rich first novel most writers can only dream of producing. The fantasy world has a new star. (Apr.)

From Booklist
Travelers to the village where Kote runs an inn are rare, but those who've shown up lately have brought bad news. A sort of demonic spider attacks a local, and then Kote rescues a wandering scholar, bringing him to the inn to recover. The man recognizes Kote as the legendary hero Kvothe and begs him to reveal the reality behind all the legends. Most of the novel is Kvothe's autobiography, that of a young genius growing up in a troupe of elite traveling players, tutored by an old arcanist, until marauders (mere marauders?) destroyed it, after which he made his way to the great university and petitioned for admission. Rothfuss skillfully handles the change of Kvothe's voice from child to youth to student, and the voice of the mature Kvothe in retrospective interjections. Hints of further adventures are strewn about in this series opener, whose one problem lies in its naturally slow, unfortunately sometimes draggy pacing. Not exactly a page-turner, but fanciers of long, intricate plots will be pleased. Frieda Murray

##六百多页,看到70%,直接翻了最后两章……好奇bast到底是什么人,但真的看不下去了,越往后越没意思。
评分##(终于看完了= =) 虽然才看了开头,但是感觉很对胃口啊而且脑补空间好大被戳了......往事成谜的年轻导师(当然看上去....)+身份不明的英俊学徒.....TAT
评分##渐入佳境,到大学这儿是高峰!作者那九年真是没白晃啊……先记一笔。后面有点拖沓,仍然最爱大学部分。还有档案馆,作为前图书馆员泪流满面。
评分##好看!
评分##注册了个audible.com的帐号,听了二十几个小时的有声书,效果不错
评分##The time spent reading a novel is basically time spent with the characters. And what characters The Name Of The Wind contains. Controlling. Passive aggressive. Aloof. Manipulative. But the story was gripping and lovely.
评分###海豚推荐# 和HP类似的校园+奇幻/魔幻类故事,情节很是引人入胜,作者遣词造句的功力不俗,行文风格也是我喜欢的感觉。662页的较长篇幅,用了一个半月就读完啦哇咔咔!查了1800左右的生词,背单词去嘿嘿_(:3」∠)_
评分这书开头装了好大一个比,尤其是有声书直接把我听醉过去,当时天真的以为自己又遇到了一本奇幻巨作…后面只能用“不至于让人扫兴”来形容,但横向比较还算优秀(比如绝对超越哈利波特),给五星。
评分##虽然节奏慢,但是写的很好!很多押韵,很多让人想一下然后会心一笑的地方。因后来如饥似渴的读完中文版,而没看完。以后再看吧。
