I enjoyed the magic system in Patrick Rothfuss' books. It felt relatively believable/grounded, and I liked the concept of learning the "true name" of things.
His ideas on magic were awesome. I liked the binding system as well. I recently read R. F. Kuang’s book Babel. She has a different take on “binding” using similarities of meanings and multiple meanings of words from different languages. It was a very neat book, though it was reminiscent of the magic in the realm of Temerant. I recommend it.
Babel didn’t grip me as a book, but the magic system using word pairs was so novel and cool.
