The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is the first book in the epic fantasy trilogy known as The Kingkiller Chronicle. The novel follows the life of Kvothe, a magically gifted young man who grows up to become the most notorious wizard in his world. Told in Kvothe’s voice, the story weaves together his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years surviving as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, and his daring bid to enter a legendary school of magic. As a fugitive after the murder of a king, Kvothe’s coming-of-age tale is both gripping and unrivaled in recent literature.
