Nick Podehl as the narrator of The Name of the Wind novel did a brilliant job with no performance-related issues at all.
I am Kvothe and I am the one who stole princesses from the sleeping barrow kings. I was also the one who burnt down the entire Trebon town. I spent a night with Felurian and left with both my life and sanity. At a very young age, I was expelled from the university at a time when the majority of the people were allowed in. I tread my paths by the moonlight that a lot of others feared a lot to speak about during the day. I have talked with the gods and loved the women. I wrote songs that were good enough to make the minstrels weep. You might have heard about me.
So started a story that you will find unparalleled in fantasy literature. It is a great story of a hero which is told in his voice. It is a story of survival, sorrow, and the search of a man for meaning within his universe.
The Name of the Wind is the debut novel of Patrick Rothfuss. He won the Quill Award for this book in 2007.
