Thankfully, Kvothe\u2019s tale will continue with the already written second and third volumes of the <strong>The Kingkiller Chronicles<\/strong>, as well as a follow-up series, and I for one, will be eagerly awaiting each of those novels. As to how \u201c<em>The Name of the Wind<\/em>\u201d compares to other notable fantasy debuts, I think that\u2019s really a matter of personal opinion and preference. Myself, I think it\u2019s definitely better than some that I\u2019ve read and not as strong as others, but I personally believe that it will make more sense to look at <strong>The Kingkiller Chronicles<\/strong> as a whole since it was originally written as a single story. So, if the rest of the trilogy can improve upon, or even maintain the level of intimacy, passion and realism found in \u201c<em>The Name of the Wind<\/em>\u201d, then that will be an accomplishment worthy of the hype. For now, <strong>Patrick Rothfuss<\/strong> has delivered a very compelling, and I believe, accessible debut that is a promising start to an ambitious new fantasy epic\u2026&#8221;\u00a0 source:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com\/2007\/04\/name-of-wind-by-patrick-rothfuss.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fantasy Book Critic Blogspot review<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, May 2nd, Fantasy Author Patrick Rothfuss at Baldwin Library New York Times Best-Selling Author Patrick Rothfuss will be at the Baldwin Public Library, (300 West Merrill Street, Birmingham) on Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 2:00 pm.
