Found this Crown Jewel a bit late, no idea why. Absolutely loved it. Loved the writing which simply seemed to flow, sometimes faster sometimes slower. When fast sometimes I wanted to slow down to absorb the surroundings but then also I wanted the page turned... what's going to happen?
When writing in the now, around the Inn, Rothfuss aggravated my desire to know what was happening in the past, but then how had the past got our hero to the Inn and what was really going on. The counterpoint of the two times periods was a brilliant engine that drove the story always leaving me hungry for more. Dam such a brilliantly frustrating book.! A few books in any readers reading history will have this level of impact particularly as they grow older with the feeling “enjoyed that but read it before”. “Name” was for me was a blast of fresh cold bracing wind. Going to re-read along with the sequel and do a longer more considered review which it justly deserves on my major review journal https://smallestroomreviews.wordpress.com/
