12. The Kingkiller Chronicle series by Patrick Rothfuss
(image: Orion)A middle-aged man works behind the counter in a small tavern in a nondescript rural town. There’s an adventurous twinkle in the eyes set in that handsome face, lined with the beginnings of age. Little do his patrons know, that man was once called Kvothe, once the greatest hero in all the land. Trained in the musical arts since birth, Kvothe learned to pluck magic from out of the air itself to accomplish many legendary feats, like slaying a dragon, surviving a hookup with a succubus, and possibly killing a king (though his lawyer has advised him not to go into detail about that one). How successful are The Kingkiller Chronicle books? Patrick Rothfuss’ series sold 10 million copies and counting. More than most authors ever see, but small potatoes for this list.
