At the very top of a list of over 3,000 books was the 2007 bestseller The Name of the Wind, the first novel in the ongoing trilogy The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss.
Described on the site as an "the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen," the book has been hailed as a masterpiece, winning both fans (including George RR Martin, Michael Chabon, and Ursula Le Guin) and awards, including the Quill Award, the Alex Award, and the distinction of "Best Book of the Year" in 2007 from Publisher's Weekly (in the category of Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror).
View this post on Instagram"As an avid adult fantasy reader, out of all the books that I’ve been recommended, The Name of the Wind has always been recommended to me the most," one person wrote, going on to add, "and now that I’ve read it, it’s in my opinion that the fame is totally well deserved; there’s no doubt that this is truly a fantastic high fantasy book."
Patrick Rothfuss called his first attempts at writing a fantasy novel a 'trainwreck'
In a 2016 interview with Wired (shared oh his official website), Rothfuss opened up about the struggles he went through trying to find his voice as a writer and avoiding too many "familiar fantasy tropes."
"That novel was a lot of fantasy cliches mashed up in a very unappealing structure," he continued. "So I wanted this story to be something a little new and a little different. But at the same time, I wanted it to be familiar and warm and exciting in nostalgic ways. That was a hard needle to thread."
Clearly, the author's hard work paid off.
