General Note to my Gentle Readers:

This blog is dedicated to an indepth look at the first two books of The Kingkiller Chronicles: "The Name of the Wind" and "A Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss.


If you have not yet read these books, don't read this blog. It's that simple. I will spoil it. Let the books speak to you first, then come back here and see what you might have missed, or point out what I blindly failed to see. We will not hesitate to spoil from both books and with no warning. Except this one. So now you are warned.

  1. NotW 1: Not in the frame - as present for her absence as the Amyr are in the University Archives.
  2. NotW 1: In an unnamed language "Begone demon!" is "Aroi te denna-leyan!"...to this pocket linguist's eye that looks like "out with you demon" meaning "denna" is part of the word for demon in that language. Interesting. However, it may also translate as "glamour", since Kote calls Bast that right after. "Denna-leyan" could literally translate something like "glamour maker" or "glamour walker" or ...?
