It seems I began a series, that's going to be called the Kingkiller Chronicle(s) by Patrick Rothfuss.From the inside cover..."My name is Kvothe, pronounced nearly the same as 'quothe.' Names are important as they tell you a great deal about a person. I've had more names than anyone has a right to. The Adem call me Maedre. Which, depending upon how it's spoken, can mean The Flame, The Thunderer, or The Broken Tree...
So begins the tale of Kvothe - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe as a notorious magician, an accomplished thief, a masterful musician, and an infamous assassin. But the name of the wind is so much more - for the story it tells reveals the truth behind Kvothe's legend."
This was truly devouring in an adult Harry Potter kind of way. I borrowed it from Warren's friend Pedro and have to return it, but if anyone is interested I'll look for a copy to pass around via paperbackswap.com. I am now in angst for the next book to come out!
