| The Name of the Wind | comment |
Heroic Fantasy novel by Patrick Rothfuss, chronicling the early adventures of Kvothe (pronounced similar to Quothe, but with a 'v'), a legendary hero, as he begins his career by struggling through The University to learn magic and find the answers behind the existence of The Chandrian, a murderous group of seven immortals who killed Kvothe's family for learning too much about them.The first of three novels in The Kingkiller Chronicle. Orson Scott Card compares it favorably to the Harry Potter series; obvious similarities include their Wizarding School settings and young protagonists. The Name of the Wind starts out dark and remains that way. While there is humor, most of it comes in the form of Kvothe's Genre Savvy or occasional Deadpan Snarker tendencies rather than the absurdities of the magical world.The Wise Man's Fear (Book two of the trilogy) was released on March 1, 2011.Put tropes that apply to the series as a whole in The Kingkiller Chronicle. | |

A Taste of the Lash | |
| The Name of the Wind / int_117b3429 | comment |
A Taste of the Lash: An important part of Kvothe's legend building is when he is flogged: a drug he takes beforehand, to dull the pain, has the side effect of constricting the blood vessels so he doesn't bleed, earning him the nickname "Kvothe the Bloodless." | |

Heroic BSoD: Kvothe has one that essentially lasts three years, for understandable reasons. He gets another (short-lived) one after Ambrose smashes his lute, impelling Kvothe to call the name of the wind. In fact, it takes Elodin's help to restore Kvothe to sanity. | |

Kvothe, of course, is ridiculously Genre Savvy, thanks to a childhood spent with master performers and storytellers. The narrative frequently notes when he's basing his behavior on characters or plots that he's familiar with. | |

Unreliable Narrator: After Kvothe lavishes praise on the beauty of Denna, Bast objects, asserting that she wasn't as flawless as he seems to indicate. Kvothe insists that she was flawlessly beautiful to him, so that's the way his story will go. It's unclear how much else in Kvothe's story is warped through his biases or motives. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The Name of the Wind / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Exposition and important future plot points get mentioned in stories the characters tell. Kilvin draws off the heat of a disastrous fire with sympathy then quickly (albeit painfully) stores it in a "heat eater", AKA heat-sink. Kvothe later uses a crude heat sink to draw off the heat of a fire while fighting a dragon and helping to save a town. Lodenstones, or lode-stones (another name for magnets) are mentioned early on in a discussion of waystones. One later becomes key to Kvothe's defeat of a dragon. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Kvothe describes how, using sygaldry, a pair of bricks can be made to stick so tightly to each other that they might as well be the same object. He then goes on to describe how doing so requires so much careful work, so much preparation in the crafting of each brick, and so many possibly interacting sympathetic forces that need to be balanced, that most of the time it is just faster and easier to use a simple mortar. | |

Secret Test of Character: Used to hilarious effect by Elodin, who tells Kvothe that, if Kvothe wants to become his student and study the secret of Naming (particularly the Name of the Wind), Kvothe will have to jump off this roof. Kvothe assumes that Elodin will catch him with magic. He doesn't. And then he claims Kvothe failed the test by proving himself too reckless to study the subject. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Not with real animals, but with fantastic ones: zombies are called 'shamblemen', for example. Other fantastic creatures actually are from our myths, but are called by obscure variants of their more common names — for example, trolls are referred to as 'trow', which is what they're called in the Orkney and Shetland islands. | |

Cannot Spit It Out: Played perfectly straight. Kvothe is afraid of throwing himself at Denna because of the number of boyfriends she's had. He thus does not confess his true feelings to her. He is unable to even when she is high on denner resin (a drug similar to opium) and thus unlikely to note or remember anything he says. | |

Gilligan Cut: After lying to Denna, Kvothe notes how good the lie is. He then breaks his narration and starts talking about how he's always been a fantastic liar. When he resumes his narration, Denna tells him that he's full of horseshit. | |

My Girl Is a Slut: While it's suggested that Denna usually abandons relationships whenever the men try to coerce her into having sex with them, she does kiss and flirt with one after another practically as a way of making a living, even while simultaneously romancing Kvothe. Kvothe, who has not even done that much with her, consoles himself with the knowledge that none of those men have the emotional connection with her that he does. | |

| The Name of the Wind / int_7b3352a9 | comment |
Heroic Safe Mode: Kvothe goes into great detail describing the ultra-safe mode that gripped him after his parents and the rest of their acting troupe had been slaughtered by the Chandrian. This event was so traumatic, it reduced a bright young boy of many talents to a shaggy street rat only concerned with immediate survival for three years, before some of his higher brain functions began to awaken again. Two-thirds of the narrative in, it is strongly implied that Kvothe has still not regained his full mental faculties, as his brain is still trying to cope with the trauma he sustained. | |

Foreshadowing | |

Foreshadowing: Lots of it, as it's the first of a trilogy, but a minor (and tragic) example: the early discussion about knacks (unexplainable passive magical talents, essentially), and how those who had them used to be burned in the old days. It is then revealed that Trip, one of Kvothe's fellow troupe members, has the knack of always rolling sevens. Seems like just a bit of world-building, until all seven Chandrian (it is hinted they usually only appear in small groups) attack the troupe, killing everyone. Trip's tent had been dragged into the campfire. | |

It not only survives, but goes on a rampage as well. | |

Too Clever by Half: Kvothe talks his way into his world's premier university at the age of fifteen, after having spent three years as a beggar, and promptly antagonizes both one of the masters and the wealthiest and most politically connected student in the university. Between that and his perpetual poverty, he spends most of his time doing absurd things (learning an entire language in a day and a half, getting certified as a musician on a lute with a broken string) just to keep his head above water. | |

Shrouded in Myth: No one seems able to agree on who or what the Chandrian are, and even the ways to identify them vary from story to story. Also, Kvothe himself. In the Framing Device, the Chronicler has traveled for days to find him, and Kvothe has a Badass Boast about his own history. During his life story, we find out that a lot of the myths surrounding him have surprising origins, including some that were fabricated by himself. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: A character at the Arcanum using "thaums" as a unit of measurement (for heat in this story) might be a reference to Discworld, where the word is used for measuring magic. On more than one occasion, the word "Edro!" is used as an attempt to open something — the Elven word for "Open" in Tolkien's Middle-Earth (shouted by Gandalf in frustration at the Doors of Moria). Kvothe leaves Trebon via the Evesdown docks. Denna is afraid that the dragon she and Kvothe encounter near the end of the book will eat them. Kvothe reassures her that "it's an herbivore, it doesn't eat meat. It's like a giant cow." One of the myths about the Chandrian is that their shadows go the wrong way | |

Writers Cannot Do Math: In early editions, when Kvothe takes his University entrance exam, Brandeur asks for the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides measuring three and seven feet, with a sixty-degree angle between them. Kvothe answers "Six feet six inches. Dead even," which is incorrect. The real answer is the square root of 37, which is around 6.082. In later editions, Kvothe says, "Six feet and an inch," before clarifying, "Well, almost an inch." | |

Lending a Backhand: In an early meeting, Ambrose lends Kvothe a candle to light his way in the University Archives. Unknown to Kvothe, fire is strictly prohibited there, and he's permanently banned when he's spotted. He realizes Ambrose set him up in retribution for an earlier slight, and their feud escalates from there. | |

Woken Up at an Ungodly Hour | |
| The Name of the Wind / int_fbc1a522 | comment |
Woken Up at an Ungodly Hour: Kvothe finds a Secret Underground Passage to get into the Archives (which he got banned from) but he still needs help from a scribe to use it properly, which he has in his friend Fela. He's so excited at the prospect of using the Archives, that he goes to visit Fela in the female dorm (which men are banned from entering) in the middle of the night. Unsurprisingly, Fela is barely awake when she answers the door, and the situation is even more awkward than it would normally be since she Sleeps in the Nude and is too drowsy to properly cover herself with a Modesty Bedsheet, which gets Kvothe so distracted that he momentarily forgets what he came there to talk about. Then she also notices his clothes are dirty and torn up, reminding him that he didn't even bother to change his clothes that got damaged while exploring underground, and that's when he decides to just leave and talk to her properly the next morning. | |
