    The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear are two of the finest novels I have read in my life. I love Lord of the Rings but I feel the Kingkiller Trilogy has edged out as my favorite. The world is vivid, the cultures are unique (a people who record their language with knots instead of writing? Very cool.). The writing doesn't insult your intelligence, but Patrick Rothfuss also does not go out of his way to use unusual words to assert any sort of snobbery like some authors do. He doesn't have to. It's a perfect blend of readability and well exercised vocabulary.

    I highly recommend it to anyone.
