The Name of the Wind

At first I wasn't too thrilled with the way the author was telling the story. By having the main character tell his life story to a chronicler, just seemed odd to me. But as the we delved into the life story of Kvothe I began to enjoy the double story or two timelines. The past and the present, the past had mysteries and the present has mysteries and you begin to wonder how the boy Kvothe became the innkeeper Kote.

I'm still not sure of the magic and the ending is rather abrupt even though the author tries to set it up to not be.

I will continue reading the series and hope for more explanation about the current situation of the characters.
