The slow regard of silent things
Egarly awaited book from Patrick Rothfuss.
Authours note starts the book by warning the reader, that this is not a normal book, and it does not follow the life and times of Kovthe (main character from the first 2 books) but insteads looks in on how Auri (a small support character) lives her day to day live.
Auri is a broken little thing, hiding from the world, but with an insightful and true way of looking at and living in harmony with the world she lives in.
Beautiful written, it paints a picture with words and names, that is more detailed than any map, as it shows not just where things are but the true shape of things using Auri's connection to the world. The play of words of her brilliant mind. Finding out lots of little details of her previous life that go far to explain her character. That are often painful to read.
My one concern, complaint about this book is how short it is, spending six and a half quid on it i was expecting more of it.
But a fun read, one I will revisit and re-read.
