Fans of Eliezer’s MoR might enjoy The Name of the Wind. The hero takes something of a rationalist approach to understanding the rules of magic in his world.
I put that book down in frustration when I realized that, of the dozen names the book jacket uses to refer to the main character, none of them are the one he’s introduced with.
I think it’s worth pressing on past this frustration. I read it on my Kindle after seeing it mentioned on Penny Arcade so never saw the blurb on the jacket.
