The Name of the Wind

MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!


I loved the beginning it was amazing and heart wrenching and I cried like hell when Kvothe's parents died. But it got weird and really sucked for me when he was at the University.

I get that he is young during his part and the impulsivity is his flaw but it wasn't the kind of flaw I enjoy reading about. Not to mention the recurring villain that is Ambrose really really ticked me off.

I really hate it when places of learning have these toxic environments in books and this book had that. I won't say it's necessarily a bad thing to put into a story but I hate it personally so that's also another major part of why it cut off for me.

I think everything comes down to personal taste and for me this book didn't make it.

Maybe it will in the future cause there were some parts I really enjoyed. But at this point in time I can say that will not be happening.


Overall: good story with slow pace plot yet solid prose and interesting cast of characters and the major protagonist struggles and character flaws.

Might not hit for everyone but still an interesting read.
