The innkeeper is younger than he appears, and he chooses to be called "Kote." It's not his real name. He has reasons not to tell his new neighbors that he is really Kvothe--a man known in legend and song as a magician, a musician, a hero and a few other things.
Now, the Chronicler has tracked him down and Kvothe tells the entire story of his life for the first time. The story will take three days to tell. The Name of the Wind is the narrative of the first day. The second day's narrative is told in Book #2 of the Kingkiller Chronicles: The Wise Man's Fear.
Epic fantasy with magic, adventures, love and hate, and battles between good and evil. Nick Podehl narrates the audiobooks beautifully, keeping the narrative line tense and engaging.
Recommended for readers and listeners ages 12 to adult. Violence is mostly (but not entirely) off-page. Book #1 has no sex or nudity, but Book #2 has much more (mostly off-page) of both, including Kvothe's account of a several-month's-long-tryst in the land of the Fae.
Read the series slowly--Book #3, tentatively called The Doors of Stone, is not yet scheduled for release!
