Review:
The Slow Regard of Silent Things offers a unique and introspective look into the life of Auri, a character from The Kingkiller Chronicle. Rothfuss’s writing style, while poetic and beautiful, may not resonate with readers seeking a traditional plot-driven narrative. The novella delves deep into Auri’s daily activities, providing insight into her character and the world she inhabits. However, the repetitive nature of Auri’s routine may not appeal to all readers.
While the book may not be for everyone, it offers a fresh perspective on the Kingkiller universe and provides a deeper understanding of Auri’s complexities. The melancholic narrative, combined with Rothfuss’s exquisite prose, creates a thought-provoking and immersive reading experience.
Overall, The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a compelling read for fans of The Kingkiller Chronicle who are interested in exploring the inner workings of a fascinating character.
