The Slow Regard of Silent Things

A Kingkiller Chronicle Novella

By: Patrick Rothfuss

Narrated by: Rupert Degas

The University, a renowned bastion of knowledge, attracts the brightest minds to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences like artificing and alchemy. Yet deep below its bustling halls lies a complex and cavernous maze of abandoned rooms and ancient passageways - and in the heart of it all lives Auri.

Formerly a student at the University, now Auri spends her days tending the world around her. She has learned that some mysteries are best left settled and safe. No longer fooled by the sharp rationality so treasured by the University, 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 rich, atmospheric and lyrical tale, featuring one of the most beloved characters from Rothfuss' acclaimed fantasy series.

A lovely song of words. Listen to author’s note too.

Pat Rothfuss, please don’t apologise for offering flavour in your writing that is more akin to the beautiful scent of a flower with many contrasting notes than imitation vanilla essence. Yes, you are writing for people on one end of the bell curve, but please do keep writing for us. We are the peeps who like to try leatherwood honey and pepper berry ice cream for a new adventure because we can have vanilla anytime.

Errors in recording but very nice

The book itself is great listen, however two of the chapters (first and last) are recorded twice, therefore the book is a bit longer than the other editions, in terms of the book it makes perfect sense since it is already quite weird, however i think it is good for you to know before purchasing.

Interesting approach to the character

The narrator has a great voice to listen to. He brought feeling and life to all the objects.
I’ve enjoyed book 1&2 getting to know Quothe. I’m looking forward to listening to Day 3(book 3).
