Review: The Kingkiller Chronicle

'The Kingkiller Chronicle' is an unfinished trilogy that started to be published in USA in 2007.
 The author, Patrick Rothfuss, was a Literature and English Language teacher in University of Wisconsin.
His first publication is the first part of this trilogy: 'The name of the Wind'.
The protagonist is Kvothe (pronunciated as 'cuouz') a hero who hides and spends his time in a lost lodge, and whose past and truth story have been faded with lies, legends and rumours.
After years of silence, Kvothe decides to tell his true story in three days. The first day of this story is 'The Name of the Wind', about his childhood, his youth as a pickpocket and his arrival at University, where he'll try to find the answers that he had been looking for.
The second book is entitled 'The Wise Man's Fear'. It's a long sequel (1189 pages) published four years ago. It's the second day in wich Kvothe is telling the truth about his life, but still nobody knows why he decides to do this after years of releasing his own rumours and hiding behind the mask of a bartender.
Nowadays, Rothfuss is starting to check the third part, provisionally named as 'The Doors of Stone'. I hope it's published next year because I really like Rothfuss' style and the story line. This book will tell how Kvothe ended up being a hero and hidding in nowhere.
