The Name of the Wind

If you like storytelling then you'll probably enjoy this book. Layer 1 the protagenist today, layer 2 protagenist is recounting his life story, layer 3 stories told to him by others when he was younger.The author spent a good chunk of time in layer 3, which didn't move the plot along and didn't appear to add any value to the other 2 layers. Reminded me of the 4-page paragraphs from [b:Heart of Darkness 4900 Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1392799983l/4900.SX50.jpg 2877220].
