4.5 filled with secrets starsI have wondered for two books now more about two very specific characters Auri and Bast and does this ever deliver on Auri. I longed to know more about what Auri does in the Underthing, how she ended up there and what else goes through her mind. One of my favorite things in The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear were Auri’s interactions with Kvothe things like: “I have an apple that thinks it’s a pear. And a bun that thinks it’s a cat. And a lettuce that...
While this book is very aptly named. It was not for me. I really was not into slowly regarding silent things.
Update: I am going to leave my earlier rant about Rothfuss below, since it received so much commentary -- both positive and negative. Here I will leave my thoughts on the novella, now having read it.There is no way I can review this without it looking like I am just piling on and confirming what I ranted about, but let me assure you, despite my wish that he finish the Kingkiller trilogy first, I really wanted to like this. I did enjoy The Lightning Tree, another diversion of his, a great deal.Th...
Rothfuss's new novella, "Things Are Picked Up And Then Set Down Elsewhere" certainly lives up to its title. If you have a sexual fetish for descriptions of things moved from one place to another look out because Christmas has come fucking early.Now look- I'm as hardcore a Rothfuss Partisan as they come but by page fifty or so I started doing this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FYTc...And I didn't stop until the Author's Note where Rothfuss assures you not to worry if you didn't like the stor...
I fully applaud authors following their vision and writing for themselves.And on this occasion it just happened to be clear to me that the author was not also, by happy happenstance, writing for me.I knew this story was going to be "non traditional" but I thought I would enjoy it more than I did. I really loved Rothfuss's prose in The Name of the Wind & Wise Man's Fear. I thought that in what some described as an indulgence, that prose might be dialed up to 11. Instead, whilst still excellent, i...
“People are going to read this and be pissed.” -Patrick Rothfuss (2014)Well Pat was right. People are pissed. I’m pissed. I’ve been warned about this, several times in fact. I’ve been told that it's terrible. I’ve been told that it has no plot or any string of story. I’ve been told that it is utter garbage, and I disbelieved it. I consider myself a huge fan of Patrick Rothfuss. His first book was great and his second book was almost the same. His writing is fantastic, his world is superb and
”Under the surface, something brushed against her. Something slick and heavy pressed its moving weight against her leg. It did not bother her. Whatever it was, it was in its proper place and so was she. Things were just as they should be.”Well, if I would have been Auri I probably most certainly would have squealed like a little cat, but thankfully Auri is more dignified than I and no scaredy-cat when it comes to slippery creatures in dark water. This said I wish that I would be more like her. W...
The Slow Regard of Silent Things centers on Auri (Kvothe does not appear) after The Name of the Wind. Her life is a solitary one but full of wonder.This book is like taking the long way home, taking a moment to pause, taking a moment to feel instead of constantly moving, moving, moving. Rothfuss has a very addictive writing style, writing in very digestible, short paragraphs that constantly keep the story flowing. Additionally, this book has some gorgeous illustrations which were so enjoyable th...
This story is for all the slightly broken people out there. I am one of you. You are not alone. You are all beautiful to me.Patrick RothfussJune, 2014 I am more than slightly broken. I love you Auri..Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
Being one of Pat's beta readers I had the pleasure of reading this last month. I absolutely adored it. The way it's written, I highly advise you read it twice. You will pick up on a lot of interesting things the second time around. Everyone is definitely in for a treat. Rothfuss has never let me down. Absolutely a fabulous writer! I can't wait until it's out so I can discuss it!!
