The Name of the Wind reviewed by @three_chapters_in
I'm quite far in and Kvothe has been at the University for approximately nine minutes of actual plot? the prose is lovely though. Dee says book two is where it falls apart so maybe I've accidentally done the right thing by stopping.7 out of 10@three_chapters_in

Kvothe is insufferable and the prose is gorgeous and both are true at once. the Chandrian bits are a ten and the university bits are a six and it averages out. we are not getting book three, are we? I have accepted it. mostly.8 out of 10@hollowknightfan99
