In a quiet corner of the world, an innkeeper named Kote lives a life of obscurity. But this unassuming man is, in fact, Kvothe: a legendary figure whose exploits have turned into tales told in hushed tones in taverns across the land. When a chronicler stumbles upon the inn and recognizes Kvothe, he convinces him to tell his true story.
Kvothe's tale begins in his childhood with a troupe of traveling performers. However, tragedy strikes when a group of mysterious beings called the Chandrian slaughters his family. This traumatic event sets Kvothe on a quest for knowledge and vengeance. He enters the University, a prestigious institution of magic and learning, at a remarkably young age. Here, he excels in his studies, makes friends and enemies, and often finds himself in trouble due to his impulsive nature.
But the University is just one chapter in his life. From battling bandits to courting love, Kvothe's journey is filled with adventures, hardships, and lessons. Throughout his tale, the looming shadow of the Chandrian and the enigma surrounding them drive Kvothe's actions.
"The Name of the Wind" chronicles the early days of this remarkable figure, blending elements of magic, music, and mystery into a captivating tale.
I loved the audiobook for The Name of the Wind when I hiked daily, fantasy just hits when you're walking. Jon Ronson (The Psychopath Test, So You've Been Publicly Shamed) has great audiobooks too
