Overview
"No one writes about stories like Pat Rothfuss. How the right story at the right time can change the world, how the teller can shape a life." --Lin-Manuel Miranda
This deluxe, illustrated edition celebrates the New York Times-bestselling series, The Kingkiller Chronicle--a masterful epic fantasy saga that has inspired readers worldwide. This anniversary hardcover includes more than 50 pages of extra content
- Beautiful, iconic cover by artist Sam Weber and designer Paul Buckley
- Gorgeous, never-before-seen illustrations by artist Dan Dos Santos

- Pronunciation guide of names and places DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND My name is Kvothe. 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. So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature--the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend. Praise for The Kingkiller Chronicle: "The best epic fantasy I read last year.... He's bloody good, this Rothfuss guy."
--George R. R. Martin, New York Times-bestselling author of A Song of Ice and Fire "Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous."
--Terry Brooks, New York Times-bestselling author of Shannara "It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words."
--Ursula K. Le Guin, award-winning author of Earthsea "The characters are real and the magic is true."
--Robin Hobb, New York Times-bestselling author of Assassin's Apprentice "Masterful.... There is a beauty to Pat's writing that defies description."
--Brandon Sanderson, New York Times-bestselling author of Mistborn

An epic tale for lovers of music, magic and adventures!
Megan S. - 1 year 6 months agoI never had a favorite book until I read Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind. As the first part of an ongoing trilogy, The Name of The Wind tells the story of a man behind a myth - Kvothe. It's a story full of action, music, magic and a relentless need to survive against all odds. The 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition adds additional bits of lore for those who enjoy delving into this world. A must have for fantasy lovers.

This book is unforgettable
Tristan C. - 3 years 2 months agoThe first time I read this book, it rocked so hard that it took me a few months to pick up a new one. This book is so well-written and fascinating, and told in such a unique perspective, that you won't be able to put it down. Patrick Rothfuss has blown away the competition with The Name of the Wind. He's successfully created a world that has depth, complexity and an amazing history. The character of Kvothe is like no one you've met before, and the way he tells his own story will leave you laughing, crying and sitting on the edge of your seat. I promise, if you pick up this book, you will never forget it.
