I enjoyed Name of the Wind. It was superbly written, and the magic system is really well designed. However I didn't get that can't-put-it-down feeling with this book. I still recommend giving it a read, and the storytelling moved me to tears on multiple occassions. However, the lack of diversity did definitely put a dent in my enjoyment, and even now I'm well into the second book I don't feel especially connected to the main character.
