I love the character developed that Patrick had made over this book as well as the second "the Wise Man's Fear". I particularly like the mysterious relationship between Kvothe and Denna, sort of "on and off" thing going on but still good to see that nothing had sway their relationship...yet. I love the story-line of how well the author made it first person narrative from the "present time" Kvothe to introduce his story to the scriber with Bast.

DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND

My name is Kvothe.

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.

You may have heard of me.

So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature—the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man’s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.
