具体描述
From Publishers Weekly
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

##谢谢@corbelle 推荐~ 用kindle app在手机上看的。前半部分节奏颇慢，一度搁下了好几个月，后来几乎每天都看，到尾声就有点手不释卷了。好像是作者的第一部作品？但是老练而精美。我喜欢奇幻 =v=
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##我最終在300頁的時候放下了它。 主人公是一個「完美」的「人」（這個世界上有完美的人存在嗎？我的回答是：沒有），除了貧窮，以及擁有一個悲慘的過去。他對所有需要知道的事情都有百科全書式的知識和瞭解。他永遠不會做錯事，而且所做都是正確的；女性角色極其稀少，壞人都是紙糊的小人，他們都沒有任何維度的存在…我覺得我沒有必再進行長篇大論的咆哮。 這本書幾乎滿足了我對垃圾的、可怕的作品的所有厭惡——散文普通，陳詞濫調比比皆是，語言既沒有詩意也不優雅；情節或設定老套，沒有什麼真正的特色，它是愚蠢的、瑪麗蘇式的逃避現實的作品，而且它在一個已經很幼稚的故事中加入了性和暴力，試圖尋求成熟，這簡直令人發笑。
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。
