The Narrow Road Between Desires

Kingkiller Chronicle

By: Patrick Rothfuss

Narrated by: Nick Podehl, Patrick Rothfuss

#1 New York Times-bestselling phenomenon Patrick Rothfuss returns to the wildly popular Kingkiller Chronicle universe with a stunning reimagining of "The Lightning Tree." Expanded to twice its previous length and lavishly illustrated by Nate Taylor, this touching stand-alone story is sure to please new audiences and veteran Rothfuss fans alike

No one taller than the stone. Come to blacktree, come alone. Tell no adult what’s been said, Lest the lightning strike you dead.

Follow the Kingkiller Chronicle’s most charming fae as he schemes his way through the small town of Newarre. While Bast cares nothing for the laws of man, he is beholden to older, deeper laws. And despite his cleverness and care, Bast finds himself forced to choose between betraying his master and helping a hated enemy.

Playful, sweet, and sly as Bast himself, The Narrow Road Between Desires explores a previously unseen part of Temerant, and shows a side of Bast we’ve only glimpsed before. Learn more about Bast as he goes against his better judgement and follows his heart’s desire.

For after all, what good is wisdom if it keeps you from finding your way to danger and delight?

If you’ve read the original, you’re not missing anything

I got this because I’m a huge king Killer Chronicles fan, even knowing that it was just a somewhat remake it’s good, but somewhat disappointing he doesn’t even really change or add that much to the original story so for that, I am somewhat disappointed and the fact that he’s taking so long to even finish his original series 

Okay, not exceptional.

I absolutely love your previous titles and I listen to them over and over again. I need your next great book. Please.

Good read to short..

Good read short and sweet. Just do everyone a favor and release the last damn book. Lol

Delightful and diverting

Hits the spot on wanting more Kingkiller content. Podehl’s work on these characters sounds as incredibly natural as it has in the first two full novels. Also, this is worth the listen just for the author’s note afterword. Thanks, Pat.

A nice short story while waiting for the 3rd book!

wonderfully narrated, a funny, dark and sometimes concerning look into a day of a fae.
