Congrats on the review!! :) I keep telling all my friends and family the same thing. Tightly written, great story, a must read. I can't wait for Book 2! And I'm so thankful there is a book 2. After reading the back of the dust jacket where you say you'll only write one book. I had heart palpations when I reached the end of NOTW, until I realized it was a trilogy and the story would be finished. Lol I now assume that Kvothe will only write “one” story. It just happens to be broken up into three sections.

Many congrats on your stellar reviews. Although I’ve already read the Name of the Wind, all the reviews have convinced me to read it again and I’m now getting into my second read.I am certain that someday us wanna be writers will be just as excited about a comment from you. And there will be a post, “Patrick Rothfuss likes my Book! OMG.”

I am a Card fan, though I’ll admit he’s created a few spectacular failures over the years. But his comments about your book were spot on, exactly what I was thinking when I finished it. Getting kudos from Card is a big deal, don’t blame you one bit for being excited. And of course, the fact that he has a legion of fans who may now check out the book doesn’t hurt one bit either. :)

I’m a huge fan of Orson Scott Card… so much so that I keep up with his website via RSS feed. I saw his comment and, since I hold his opinion in such high esteem, I went out and bought your book. You, officially, have one more fan for life. I’m in med school so I don’t have much time for casual reading but this book was the highlight of my summer.

Congrats again, Pat. You heard from Oprah yet? ; )I think Card deserves a lot of credit for his imagination, but his books don't connect with me as much as a lot of the others I have laying about. There's something about his characters... it's like there's some transparent barrier keeping them discreet from the reader. I can see them, but I can't feel them. I got about four books into the Alvin Maker series when I realized I didn't give a fiddler's fart about Alvin, Miss what's-her name- or any of his other characters.Characters like Fitz, Tyrion, Cazaril and Kvothe - Well, I guess the most succinct way to say it is that they're as fucked up as most of the people you expect to meet on any given day, struggling along as they make due. And ironically, that makes them exceptional.That being said, I think I would be dancing a flippin' jig if Card wrote anything half as complimentary about something I wrote.ps - no comment on the editing diatribe

Pat,First of all, congratulations on the comment, as I’m sure you’re extremely happy such a famed author was a fan. As for your book, as much as it pains us all to wait, I’m sure the wait will be well worth it. I can not wait to get my hands on part two of Kvothes adventures, and Bast is another character that I want to learn more about as I’m sure theres much more to him than we already know. Thank you for the honor of reading your book and I wait with much anxiety to continue the story and explore your world.

I’ve never read Card before, so I can’t really compare the two of you, but I must say that your book held my interest very well for being so big. Most books that size have a dull spot in there somewhere. I actually found myself thanking you for making it so long, because then it wouldn’t end so soon. It was a bit of a hassle to fit it in my school bag with my notebooks and such, but well worth carrying around.

I personally thing you’re much better than Card. I could never get in to his books like I could others, especially yours. There are few books that caused me to literally read it non-stop till I was done.-Steve
