Kvothe-ites, this one’s for you! 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the publication of The Name of the Wind, the first book in the epic fantasy Kingkiller Chronicle series by Patrick Rothfuss. The series follows the life of Kvothe, a notorious, misunderstood (maybe, depending on who you ask) genius of a wizard. To celebrate, behold the cover of the super-fancy 10th anniversary edition of the Name of the Wind!
