The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is one of the best fantasy books that I have read lately. I literally spent a whole weekend reading the book from start to finish. The book tells the story of Kvothe, a musician and arcanist, who has achieved almost legendary status and mysteriously vanished. Kvothe is now a bar keeper in a little town of no particular importance. His story is being told as a biography. It is superbly written and I am really looking forward to the next two books!
