The Name of the Wind is an impressive debut novel

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been engrossed in the massive tome that is titled The Name of the Wind.
It has been quite a long time since I’ve been so heavily invested in a novel, let along a fantasy novel. Between family and work I don’t often have as much time to spend reading as I would like. This book kept me coming back.
Don’t let the fact that this novel is Patrick Rothfuss’ debut novel, it is wonderfully written and keeps you coming back. I found myself stealing 5, 10, or 15 minutes whenever I could continue moving through this 662 page novel.
This is book one in a trilogy which makes waiting till April for book two to hit shelves the most depressing part.
Next up, another debut novel, this one by Scott Lynch titled The Lies of Locke Lamora. Here’s hoping it’s as good as the reviews have said it is…
