Delivering a whammy of a read, this is the first in a fabulous epic fantasy trilogy (the final book is described as still in progress). The Name of the Wind was published in 2006, I read it and swooned at the writing and story. It won a number of fantasy awards. Patrick Rothfuss also created a novella in 2014 that sits as a companion to the trilogy called The Slow Regard of Silent Things, and it has to be on the list of my favourite books (ever).

'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
