De: Patrick Rothfuss

Narrado por: Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss narrates The Slow Regard of Silent Things, a companion novella to his bestselling Kingkiller Chronicle novels that shares an enchanting new perspective on the Four Corners realm.

Renowned as a bastion of knowledge, the University draws the brightest minds to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences, such as artificing and alchemy. Yet deep below its bustling halls lies a complex web of abandoned rooms and ancient passageways.

In the heart of this cavernous maze is a young woman named Auri, who calls this Underthing her home. Formerly a student at the University, Auri now spends her days tending to the world around her. She knows that some mysteries are better settled and safe. No longer fooled by the sharp rationality so trusted by those above her, Auri sees beyond the surface of things, into subtle dangers and hidden names.

At once joyous and haunting, The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a richly atmospheric and lyrical tale that features one of the most beloved characters from his acclaimed fantasy series.

Nothing like you'd expect, all you'd want

great to hear Patrick Roth fuss narrate a wonderful expansion of his world. a must read for fans.

Amazing!

I think it works on it's own but having read the first set of kingkiller chronicle books first feels very important. It allows this little masterpiece it's full potential to be lovely.

Lovely.

Magnificent

Wonderful, heartbreaking and lovely; hauntingly beautiful word-smithery. I love it, more than just a little. Like Auri.

Poetry in all it’s dark cuteness

This is beautifully written! I love this book. I listened to it while I was cleaning up my house and it made all the little trinkets I’ve kept feel magical!

Not for me

I am one of the people the author speaks of who this story is not for. I love stories where people move the world more than those in which they are moved by it. Even so, this story is unique and endearing and I could not move on until I did my due and finished it. It took me longer to listen to than the books about Kvothe, but I felt the need to finish it. This story is neither good nor bad, but it fits it's PoV character true and perfect which is exactly what it needed to do

It shook me to my core in the most unusual way

This book connected with who I am and made sense of everything I have ever felt. It consumed me from the first chapter and carried on consuming. It reminded me of the person I am and why That’s am amazing thing.

Really liked the story and very nice to get more depth to Ari and learn more things about the underthing.

Can’t wait to have this story read by an actress and get even more out of it 😍

A heartbreaking yet wonderful peek into a delicate mind

This was a lovely and very strangely written short story. The reader must take heed of the authors warning that it is not written in a conventional manner at all. It is, however, a beautifully described insight into the life and mind of one of the most wonderful characters ever conceived.
