The Name of the Wind

Simply incredible. Easily one of the best fantasy novels out there. I love the epic scope of fantasy (Wheel of Time, A Song Of Ice and Fire, etc.), nonetheless it is wonderful to read a more...focussed fantasy novel, with a single main character.

Ususally, I find the first few pages of a fantasy novel hard to read but it is exceptionally easy to immerse yourself into The Name of the Wind right from the first page.
