The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
3.0
Honestly this book has a lot of potential but it was sooooo boring and arduous to read and not chuck it into the bottom of the ocean, I understand the hype, the worldbuilding is supposed to be inspired by somewhat of the idea medieval Europe had about geography, where the known world is made of four corners yes corners! And the religious order (because it is important for the events of the book) are based on early medieval Christianity (loosely) with the names of the biblical characters twisted and changed into more "Fantasy" inspired names.
I think what I really don't like about this is that it's very passive character driven story instead of being an active plot with lots of developments and thrill of anticipating what will happen next, it's a lot like reading a hero's tale told by a very boring bard who gives you too many unnecessary details.
