All legends are born of truths. And just as much lies. These are mine. Judge me for what you will. But you will hear my story first. I buried the village of Ampur under a mountain of ice and snow. Then I killed their god. I've stolen old magics and been cursed for it. I started a war with those that walked before mankind and lost the princess I loved, and wanted to save. I've called lightning and bound fire. I am legend. And I am a monster. My name is Ari. And this is the story of how I let loose the first evil.

An absolutely stunning book that wish I could give 6 out 5. Gorgeous prose and amazing story crafted with such love of stories and storytelling. If this isn't on your list, it should be.
This is a shameless retelling of The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Do not read this garbage.
Stopped pretty early on. See for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnq9IZe4Hi4
Did not finish (25%)
I feel conflicted about reviewing a book I didn't finish, but I think I got a good vibe of what's going on here.
Slow plot, awkward dialog, and I couldn't get invested in any of the characters.
Also.... It's very similar to The Name of the Wind. Like, look it up if you're curious. Almost exactly the same story start to finish (apparently).
Yeah, life's too short for books I don't like
I'll just say it as simply as I can. One of the greatest books of all time and it will forever be a literary masterpiece!
