The Name Of The Wind is one of my all time favorite books. Its the first book in the 'Kingkiller Chronicles' and comes in various different covers, this is my favorite as the some of them are slightly strange. It's approximately 660 pages long. The story is told from Kvothes veiw point and is set in two different time, Kvothe as he is now and Kvothe when he is younger. Despite this Patrick Rothefuss is such a brilliant author that the plot doesn't get confusing and instead leaves you hanging, desperate to learn more. It's set in a Fantasy period where the Kvothe of now own a back water inn under the guise of a young man named Kote, hiding after faking his death. Kvothe has been raised by his mother and father who work with a group of traveling performers. This is where Kvothe gets his evident love and skill with music. A man traveling with them is the slightly batty Abenthy who, surprised with the intelligence of the seven year old Kvothe teachers him the basics of the science and sympathy which you could say, started the whole story. One of the best books I have ever read, although the genre may not be to some peoples liking, I would definitely pick this book up and try it. 'Abenthy made me the man I am today, do not be harsh with him, he meant well'
