And I have finished this masterpiece.
The Name of the Wind gripped me into it's web and held me like a book hasn't done in some time. I ate, slept, breathed this book. I needed, not wanted, but actually felt like I needed to be reading it, when I wasn't I wished I was. I have loved many stories, I have given many 5 stars. But not all have made me feel as if I needed it to survive.
A new favorite, that will be loved over and over again.

Hits all the same plot points as most traditional fantasy - young boy is done wrong by horrible, all powerful villain(s) then sets out on a life of adventure that molds him into a figure of legend. Beautiful woman, horrible monsters, self-righteous idiots, pompous fools - all make an appearance. What sets this one apart is the quality of the writing.
Looking forward to the next two books.

Loved this book! Even though the story (so far) is being told as backstory it still works for me to create an exciting narrative with engaging characters.
One of the best books I've read all year! I couldn't put it down.
