The Name of the Wind

A silence of three parts. The book opens by teaching you to hear rooms.

Kvothe's troupe died for a song. The Chandrian kill for information security.

He got into the University at fifteen on math and nerve. Best exam scene ever written.

Broke, brilliant, and sleeping in a chimney? Kvothe's poverty had style and interest payments.

Auri in the Underthing, the book's soul lives in a girl who names rooms.

The wind itself was one of his names. Naming as physics, poetry as engineering.

His hubris at the Eolian, songs get you fame, pride gets you enemies, same night.

Chronicler wrote it all down and Kvothe controlled the story. The author is the first character.

Bast said: he's a man waiting to die. Book one knew its ending before we did.

Carried out of it: your name is a thing you spend. Keep some unspent.
