2016 Books: The Name of the Wind

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
DAW, 2007
722 p.

This is slightly odd for a fantasy epic, a bit slower paced and focused on world-building, but that's probably why I found it so enthralling - I could have easily read half a dozen books set in the various parts of this world, from the traveling performers' community to the university town. I'm fine with letting the plot here take a back seat to the writing and setting and characters, but at the same time I get why some readers have disliked it for the very reasons I liked it. I'll definitely be continuing with the series, and while that's partially because I want to know what happens, it's more because I want to just keep living in that world.

See everything I've read in 2016!
