The Name of the Wind and other Very good new Fantasy books
So, i'm really enjoying The Name of the Wind, i got to read it after i finished The Left Hand of God, and they are so polar opposites that it felt almost ironic how much the stories had common things and yet were completely different.
And yet, as i read TNotW i feel completely drawn into Kvothe's story. The book is fun to read, easy to get into and very expansive. I haven't finnished yet and i'm still waiting for volume 2 to get released over here (i mean, i could just get it in English, but then i wouldn't be able to share it with someone... and that kinda bothers me) but i really do love this book, it's characters and how it manages to be full and simple at the same time.
Totally worth it!
So, Many new Fantasy series have come to light since the days of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, some good, some not so good... what you guys think of the state of the genre now? What about the new tales of Sword and Magic that are being writen today? C'mon, share some gems!
