'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
My name is Kvothe.
You may have heard of me'
So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin.
The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best, and an astounding must-read title.

El principal problema es que el protagonista es una fantasia de poder. Todo lo hace bien, es el mejor en todo, sus errores no tienen trascendencia. Por poner un ejemplo, recibe multiples palizas que no parecen dejar secuelas permanentes,
No hay personajes femeninos con entidad y de hecho, las dos veces que se presentan mujeres fuertes pasan al papel de damisela en apuros.
Pasas un rato entretenido y poco más.Primera parte de una trilogia que, a día de hoy, lleva años inconclusa. Es una novela estructurada en episodios que van formando una especie de Bildungsroman.

Hay que decir que unos meses después, tras comprarme The Wise Man’s Fear (no pude esperar a la traducción en español así que debió gustarme bastante más de lo que mi primera crítica dejó entrever) me lo compré en inglés y me lo releí. Es bastante mejor en el irioma original, hay muchísimos juegos de palabras y connotaciones que se te escapan cuando lo lees en castellano, y lo recomiendo mucho a quien pueda con él. Y recomiendo a quienes se lean El Temor de un Hombre Sabio que luego relean El Nombre del Viento. Te das cuenta de muchos detalles que probablemente se te pasaran en la primera lectura, como cual es el temor de un hombre sabio (pista: lo dice cuando le pillan con una vela en la biblioteca), ciertos detalles sobre los Chandrian sobre los Lackless (pista: la canción que canta cuando es niño y no se da cuenta de de qué va hasta que le pilla su madre) y algún otro más que no voy a contar aquí. Gana con la relectura, que recomiendo, y como ya he dicho es bastante mejor en inglés aunque la traducción sea buena.
There is a caveat, though. It is the first part of a trilogy that hasn't been finished yet. So if you don't like starting a story and having to wait for the end I can't recommend ot to you.
The problem here is the same as always, you might be lucky and your book would arrive with no damage or you might ending up like me, with a damage book because it didn't come well protected.
A través de cada página, con cada suceso me sentía más cerca de Kvothe hasta verme transportado hasta dentro del libro como si estuviese sentado a su lado. La forma de narrar de Patrick Rothfuss es increíblemente amena a pesar de lo detalladas que son sus descripciones. Recomiendo este libro al 110%.
Tengo los dos libros físicos en español, así que me pareció una buena idea comprarlos en inglés para mi Kindle ya que estaban a un precio increíblemente barato (The Wise Man's Fear lo compré por ¡¡1,99€!!).
Alrededor de 800 páginas de puro placer literario.
La historia es muy original y el sistema de "magia", o mejor dicho "sympathy" de este mundo de ficción está muy conseguido.
Yo creo que lo que hace que te enganche esta historia es lo mundana que es a pesar de ser literatura de ficción, y lo realistas que son las historias de este orgulloso Kvothe.
Recomiendo encarecidamente leer el libro en versión original, o te perderás mucho!!

- Well written, mainly.
- Fascinating magic system, and interesting world building
- bits set in university, with the education of a wizard are great. there are a lot of similarities with Harry Potter, which many will point out, but there are enough differences to keep it a very different book
- Lots of mystery: the author cleverly sets up a lot of mysteries, which keeps the pages turning. There is plenty of suspense and it is an engaging read.
Bad bits
- This book needs a good edit. Many incidents or story sections are repetitive - how many times will the character not have enough money for tuition and have to go and find money? How many times will he meet his lady love and just have a chat with her (more later)
- Framing story: the whole story is recounted in a pub by the main character in the first person. I don't think this framing adds much to the narrative, and just makes it longer and more difficult to get into.
- Poorly drawn characters: although NOTW is well written in general, many characters seem sketchy. Willem and Simmon are good examples. The masters in the university are better drawn. The physical descriptions are usually poor, or non-existent, and few characters have strong enough traits to be memorable.
- The love interest: creating a love interest and then putting off the characters getting together is a staple of most fictional genres. I don't think it has ever been spun out like this, and with such an unlikeable love interest. There are several identical chapters where the character looks for the boring, self-centred, but (yawn) incredibly beautiful Denna, finds her, they have a great chat, but once again, nothing happens. This quickly becomes boring, and I wish she would get killed off so we didn't have to read this.
Overall, I would recommend fans of Harry Potter, or fantasy genre to read the book. I think the sequel, which I am currently reading, compounds many of the weaknesses of the first book, so I may not make it until the third book.

Around 45 pages in, the story improved dramatically.
Since finishing The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, I can see why the first section is there and I appreciate it, but it’s not written nearly as well as the rest of the book.
I only have one major issue with this book: Denna
It is because of this that my rating for The Name of the Wind isn’t 5/5. Denna. I hate her. Her character is dull, every scene with her in it is dull, and every time Kvothe mentions her I am bored.
Because Denna is a such a huge part of Kvothe’s story, I couldn’t give The Name of the Wind 5 stars.
Kvothe himself is brilliant
I have seen many reviews complaining about him: he’s good at everything; he is invincible; he is arrogant.
Kvothe is flawed dramatically by his arrogance, however his ‘genius’ and incredible ability to be amazing at everything is fun. I like to read about characters who are fun.
We as the reader can drift through the complexity of the world through Kvothe’s eyes making it so much more enjoyable spending time there.
This is a fantasy book so it makes sense that the main character would be fantastical.
The writing is poetry
Not a word goes to waste (except for anything to do with Denna but let’s skip over that). I believe that The Name of the Wind would have never been so popular if the writing wasn’t this good.
It’s not a complicated plot – it hardly has a plot at all (due to being only the beginning of a story) – and many of the characters are not fully-formed, however the writing draws you in and you can’t stop yourself from flicking over the pages.
One more thing
I can see huge elements of Earthsea in this world and that’s fantastic. Patrick Rothfuss is giving life to elements of the world of Earthsea, created by Ursula K. le Guin, that I wanted to see more of.
The magic system is mystical yet has solid rules that are complex, and the ‘magic school’ trope works a dream.
This is a fantastic book and will be a great read for anyone who is a fan of the fantasy genre.

So you have 2 main threads ... what's going on with the barkeep and the village he is in "The present" and then the story of how he ended up where he is "His past". Frustratingly the story in both present and past is slow ... it just doesn't move with pace and there's not enough happening over what is a fairly large book. When you finally get to the end you realise you're probably less than a quarter of the way through the Barkeep's life. The writing is good and the idea's are good but it's just too damn slow and I didn't want to run off and buy the next instalment because of this. It's not like one of Feists page turners. Shame because like I said the writing is good and so are the idea's.


The first thing people seem to mention about this book is the prose. While I find it difficult to define what prose actually is, I get the feeling that people might go into this book expecting huge multi-page descriptions of dresses, as well as interesting flora and fauna. Don’t. This book is never slow paced, never drags on, and is extremely enjoyable.
Kvothe himself is an intriguing character, though I feel the story would have been much less eventful with a better orientation day at the university. The supporting cast is excellent as well, and you want to know more about Bast, the Chronicler, Denna, Abenthy, Auri, Elodin and the rest.
Perhaps some day we’ll see an end to this series. If not, I’m perfectly happy with what Patrick Rothfuss has already given us. A beautiful tale, narrated by a master storyteller. I can’t thank him enough.
Top recommendation for this one.
