The Name of the Wind

a great start for epic fantasy series. though i got an impression in the end that really not much happened in this book after all, and there was kind of too little progress of the main storyline despite the fact that all the time something new happens in the book.

Some reviewers compared the book to harry potter. i don't get it. i don't understand what is thinking a man who says that THIS is like harry potter. i've red both. harry potter is a children's book, while this is not!

Overall i highly recommend this to anyone interested in adult fantasy.

also Kvoth spend all his time with his friends and lots of other people who are not really human-like in the book. they feel more like just names. There could have been a lot more written about them so that the reader could feel that he knows them & feel some kind of affection towards them.

and as some of the other reviewers pointed out Kvoth is really a little bit supermanly :)

– A SMALL BIT OF SPOILER BELLOW THIS LINE –
i didn't really like the part with the draccus and stuff. it kind of seemed out of place and too impossible.
