Teaser Tuesdays: The Name of the Wind

Posted on the 21 October 2014 by Cheekymeeky

I am almost close to the end of this book and while it started off slow, it’s really picked up the pace and if you ignore comparisons to A Song of Ice and Fire, it’s a really terrific Fantasy read, and I love the main character Kvothe who describes himself as follows:

I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.”

~ The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
