My thoughts, not actually a review.
A good chunk of The Name of the Wind sounds like something Patrick fantasized about as a young adult.
Where was all the good prose I heard about? Most of the "poetry" writing style sounds like something I would've come up with when I'm depressed and look back at how cringe it was.
Denna is an absolutely horrible character. Everything about her is toxic. F**k her.
If I ever get a fireplace this book will be my first firewood then it won't be money wasted and I can drink to the time lost.
My thoughts, not actually a review.
Length is not justified at about 400-500 pages too long. Although I would still feel this book was just setting the stage for the story.
Characters were not interesting and showed no real growth. I actually liked the interludes more than the POV chapters but that's not saying much.
The prose, various names and "worldbuilding" is amateur writing at best. Great for YA and great for the masses. Self explanatory.
Nothing wrong with popcorn books but the fanboys/girls for this one is next level. It's okay to like whatever you like but stop acting surprised when someone doesn't.
I knew I should have dropped it at SPREN.
