I've heard so many things about this book! I'd love to read it. Love your intro btw! :D - Feyza

[@BookRoast]

PagesThroughOurLens give it a go it's such a wonderful and substantial book! And thank you 💚

[@LaurenEllwood]

I love this series, I can't wait to see more (: I actually finished Name of the Wind about two weeks ago and looved it (:

[@BookRoast]

Lauren Ellwood yay! Are you thinking of reading the second one? 🌸

[@TheNovelLush]

I just ordered both of these! Excited for a new fantasy series. (New to me, anyways)

[@anna--emilia]

I agree, Rothfuss' writing is just magical! and I think most people don't really like Denna :D I can't believe it's already been 5 years since book 2 came out and when I read it a few years ago I was hoping it would come soon (I think it had a expected publication year of 2016 back then) but now he has stated that it might take a few years more, apparently he already has a book written but he doesn't want to publish it because it's not good enough I guess :D

[@BookRoast]

A World Hopper yes I heard something like that too. Which is fair enough but I feel the longer he delays the higher the expectations will be 😂 I only read these this year not sure why. Just didn't hear about it until one of my friends recommended it to me. I love it so much. I cannot wait to read the last one. But then it will be over. 😓 and that will be heart breaking. Never happy haha

[@haumebody]

I've been very much on the fence about picking up this series - but after this review I think I will!

[@BookRoast]

Meg Talks Life once you get into to it there's nothing better!

[@PossiblyLiterate]

The Name of the Wind is one of my all-time favorite books!! The only tragedy is that we've been waiting SOOOOO LONG for the third book!! I first read the series back in 2011, and back then the final book was supposed to come out in early 2014.... WELL WE'RE A LITTLE BIT PAST THAT!! Someday.... I love Kvothe, how he's ALMOST perfect--so talented at so many things--but he's such a little dork when it comes to relationships.

[@BookRoast]

Possibly Literate I knoooooooow! I actually started under the impression that all 3 books were out already and only learnt they weren't after I finished the second one. Imagine the sadness. I cursed a lot 😂 maybe it will be sooner than we expect? 🙈

[@Su67377s]

Today I bought The name of the wind. But i literally dont understand any of the character. Today I read 1st chapter without skipping anything. I am new reader who dont have read any other book. This is my 1st book in my life. Please help me out, how to know the characters.

[@emmagreenily]

I'm so happy you made a video about these books!! you're so right people don't talk about these enough! It took me a while to get into the first book too. that homeless part, man. I like Devi more than Denna too 🙊 I'm so in love with all these characters tho

[@BookRoast]

I agree! I wasn't sure if it was me just being late to the party (it's not a new book after all) or if people don't talk about it! They should, it's so mind blown. such a good, solid fantasy. The world is believable and feels so real. I know, I was thinking of who can be my favourite characters and they just all are so unique and play their parts in the story so well it's hard to seperate them! :D

[@emmagreenily]

I didn't read them until this year too so I don't know if it's just that we joined late :) yes! I love the world he's created and the magic system is so interesting. I also love how he writes about music. its beautiful. All the characters are so interesting, but I do have a special place in my heart for Sim. He's a cinnamon role :) And Kvothe obviously because he always gets into trouble and it cracks me up x)

[@BookRoast]

True, I don't know many male characters in books that love music so much (yet hate poetry hah) I knoooow, Sim is so pure, bless him. I like Will too, I bloody like everyone from these books. :D

[@emmagreenily]

his hate for poetry lol. yes I love Wil too :) whenever Sim cries it makes me laugh so hard like when kvothe played music for them for the first time and Sim couldn't stop crying. it's just so adorable

[@BookRoast]

That was such a precious moment! Granted he was a bit influenced by external factors but still haha

[@alliesugar]

I cannot wait to get into the Name of the Wind! I am a big epic fantasy girl :) Also if you look up Patrick Rothfuss interviews they are so inspiring!

[@BookRoast]

I agree, the interviews are very fascinating! I can't wait to see what you thought of it once you've read it :)

[@TheOrbitofBritt]

I'm going to ask this book for Xmas, so I can finally read it!!

[@BookRoast]

Yes, you will not be disappointed! It does take a bit to get into it.. but it's so worth it!

[@theogsamwow8252]

I absolutely love the name of the wind. It is by far my favourite fantasy novel of all time. I also loved the wise man's fear (obviously) and the slow regard of silent things was great. I recommend this book to everyone.

[@BookRoast]

Same, I keep pushing people to read it but some don't really want to because the size is intimidating. But in all honesty it didn't even feel long, did it! I can't wait for the third one, if that ever comes out haha. I still haven't read the Slow Regards of Silent things. I tried starting it at some point but just didn't flow hah

[@theogsamwow8252]

I honestly can't wait until the doors of stone comes out! I understand what you mean about the slow regard of silent things not exactly flowing, I felt the same way for a bit.

[@daphnepebb3351]

No! I just finished the name of the wind and couldn't wait to watch this review. BUT I DIDNT REED THE SECOND ONE YET. See you in a bit then. xxx

[@michellewest8060]

I loved Name of the Wind! I did not know anyone else on here read that book. I think I put it in my Peculiar Book tag haha I have not read the second one though so I skipped your book talk. I'll come back after I finished it. I love hardcore fantasy. :)

[@BookRoast]

I cannot wait for you to read the second one, it's so different (yet similar). I don't know many people who read it either, what a shame isn't it?

[@michellewest8060]

Book Roast ooo I am so excited! It is such a shame that more people don't read it. It was a little hard to get into, but once I got into it I totally loved it. :) I love long books haha

[@BookRoast]

I am so glad a friend recommended this to me, would be such a shame to miss out on this world, wouldn't it? I'm jealous you still get to experience the second one haha I need the third one to come out!

[@PaulKeffer]

I love Denna. I love the series--best ever. I hope to live long enough to read Doors of Stone.

[@BookRoast]

Hoping to live long enough for it too. I imagine the pressure he must feel; the longer he waits the higher out expectations of it

[@booksbyleynes]

I just uploaded a video on my favorite Doors of Stones theories! Please share your two cents with me! :D

[@BookRoast]

will do!

[@booksbyleynes]

Book Roast Thank you so much! It's hard to find people who are invested in the series on booktube!

[@_dtm116]

i want Kvothe and Auri to be together

[@BookRoast]

I don't know how I feel about it, I think that would be quite depressing though! But I do want both of them to be happy haha

[@disrupt94]

Unlikely to happen. Kvothe views himself as an protective big brother more than an love interest.

[@alilbitmads]

Game of Thrones put me in the longest book slump of my life! Mostly because I enjoyed them too much. I just read the Name of the Wind and thought it was a great recommendation if people like Game of Thrones but don't want the billion characters that come with it!

[@BookRoast]

VERY true. I had my problems with Game of Thrones, but I can never say I didn't like it. I have mixed feelings, clearly hah, about it. I think it was the multiple perspectives that GoT is written from that annoyed me, whilst the Name of The Wind is always following Kvothe. Just a personal preference :)

[@LocoDirewolf]

I think that it was average. While Patrick's writing is exceptionally crisp, his story is not very original, and the characters are kind of flat. I can think of multiple books (or series) that are much better than this.

[@daphnepebb3351]

which series are better?

[@LocoDirewolf]

It's all subjective, everyone has different opinions. Right off the top of my head, I would say that the Farseer trilogy, the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy, the Gentlemen Bastard Sequence, the Riftwar Saga, and the First Law trilogy are better, IMO. I'm not knocking Rothfuss' work, I just find it average.

[@daphnepebb3351]

Yes that's true. Thank you! I will look in to it and maybe order the first book of a serie@@LocoDirewolf
