Meredith Member	posted May 29, 2009 10:49 PM I just started Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss. Now this opening really sets a mood. quote: It was night again. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts. The most obvious part was a hollow, echoing quiet, made by things that were lacking. If there had been a wind it would have sighed through the trees, set the inn's sign creaking on its hooks, and brushed the silence down the road like trailing autumn leaves. IP: Logged

For the most part I loved the novel--especially when he was trapped on the streets--but, near the end, the phonetic-writing tore me out of emersion a time or two (to figure out what the villager was saying). I've been waiting book two for a while. (I read the alternate cover, first edition hardback.) IP: Logged
