The Name of the Wind

All the other reviews rave about this book, so there is not much more to add. The writing is incredible and really draws you in. THIS book deserves 5 stars but I recommend the it with 2 caveats.

1. There is no telling when the 3rd book is coming out. After Wheel of Time, I did not want to pick up another epic series without knowing I could finish it (thank you Brandon Sanderson). I didn't really do my research and just saw that there were 3 books in there series, so I thought it was complete. The third book is just a novella about a minor character. So read it knowing you don't know when you'll get a conclusion.

2. The second book is awful. I know it has 4.5 stars, but I do not understand the reviews. Unless you want to be stuck in a 16 year old's wet dream for what seemed like half the book... The only place the plot goes is to the bedroom. I understand that Kvothe is just telling his story, but there's only one day left and whole lot of story left to tell. The writing and the world is still great, It gets it's second star from me for that.

Like I said this book is great, and it gets and deserves 5 stars. I have difficulty recommending the series. I will probably read the 3rd one whenever it comes out, but my expectations are much lower than were before.
