:INFO The Most Beautiful Fantasy Novel I Have Read and the Problem With That The Name of the Wind is the best-written fantasy novel I have encountered. Patrick Rothfuss has a prose style that makes the reading experience feel effortless and deliberate at the same time. Kvothe is a character I have not tired of rereading.
