Discover #1 New York Times-bestselling Patrick Rothfuss’ epic fantasy universe of The Kingkiller Chronicle, in this illustrated companion novella, The Slow Regard of Silent Things.

“I just love the world of Patrick Rothfuss.” —Lin-Manuel Miranda

Deep below the University, there is a dark place. Few people know of it: a broken web of ancient passageways and abandoned rooms. A young woman lives there, tucked among the sprawling tunnels of the Underthing, snug in the heart of this forgotten place.

Her name is Auri, and she is full of mysteries.

The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a brief, bittersweet glimpse of Auri’s life, a small adventure all her own. At once joyous and haunting, this story offers a chance to see the world through Auri’s eyes. And it gives the reader a chance to learn things that only Auri knows....

In this book, Patrick Rothfuss brings us into the world of one of The Kingkiller Chronicle’s most enigmatic characters. Full of secrets and mysteries, The Slow Regard of Silent Things is the story of a broken girl trying to live in a broken world. Epic Fantasy Fantasy

Kritikerstimmen

Praise for Patrick Rothfuss:

"As seamless and lyrical as a song... This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Reminiscent in scope of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and similar in feel to the narrative tour de force of The Arabian Nights, this masterpiece of storytelling will appeal to lovers of fantasy on a grand scale."
—Library Journal (starred review)

"It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words.... Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes...he'll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song."
—Ursula K LeGuin

"The Wise Man's Fear is a beautiful book to read. Masterful prose, a sense of cohesion to the storytelling, a wonderful sense of pacing.... There is beauty to Pat's writing that defies description."
—Brandon Sanderson

"Patrick Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous."
—Terry Brooks

"[Rothfuss is] the great new fantasy writer we've been waiting for, and this is an astonishing book."
—Orson Scott Card

"As with all very best books in our field, it's not the fantasy trappings (as wonderful as they are) that make this novel so good, but what the author has to say about true, common things, about ambition and failure, art, love, and loss."
—Tad Williams

“This is an extremely immersive story set in a flawlessly constructed world and told extremely well.”
—Jo Walton, Tor.com

“It is the best book I have read it years, fantasy or otherwise.... The world is so deep, the stakes are so high, the characters so real, the mysteries so magical, the magic so mysterious, the plot so twisty…every day you haven’t read it is a day in your life that could be better.”
—Hank Green

"This fast-moving, vivid, and unpretentious debut roots its coming-of-age fantasy in convincing mythology."
—Entertainment Weekly — eloquence quotes

Ungewöhnlich und deswegen so unglaublich wertvoll. Ein Lyrikschmaus für alle wahren Fans von The King Killers Chronicles und dem Autor Patrick Rothfuss.
Einzig und allein fande ich die Aufnahme nicht so qualitativ und Rothfuss hat als Hörbuchvorleser noch einiges zu lernen.

Kurzgeschichte über den bezauberndsten Charakter

This is an extraordinarily beautiful book. It's for all the slightly broken people (who read the Kingkiller books). It made me feel so seen. we all have a little bit of Auri in us and it's time to appreciate that.

Best Read in Years

Not a lot happens in this book. No kings, killers or demons, no grand tragedies nor hot revelries. The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a small book of a small story about a small, broken person. It is a short, sweet book, excellently read by the author himself, and while it may not be for all, I feel like it resonates all the more with the few.

A small but beautiful story

The foreword of this book begins with "You may not want to buy this book". I suggest you read the foreword (either in a physical copy or in something like amazons samples) before deciding if you want to read this book. It may not be for everyone, and it most definitely will not make any sense to you if you have not read the previous two books, The Name of the Wind, and The Wise Man's Fear (which are both brilliant, and whyever would you not have read them yet? Read them right now and come back afterwards). I listened to the audiobook, narrated by the author, Patrick Rothfuss, himself. Sometimes you can tell that this is the first time he narrated an audiobook, but overall it went pretty well.

This book is hard to review. Not because it is hard to do without giving spoilers (hell, I am not even sure if spoilers in the traditional sense are technically possible for this book). It's because it is something completely different from almost every other book I have ever read. It focusses on Auri, who is one of my favourite characters of the Name of the Wind series, if not the favourite. It gives the reader a view into the head of that wonderful, broken girl.

I loved it. I did not love it like I loved Name of the Wind (which I loved for its lyrical language) or like The Way of Kings (which I loved for the Story and Worldbuilding), or like I loved A Memory of Light (which I loved (among other things) for how it managed to actually evoke the images of what was happening inside my head). No, I loved it for how it just perfectly fit the image I had of Auri. It was exactly as I expected, while being completely unlike anything I expected.

Now, I know that this statement may not make much sense. How can something be as expected, while not being as expected? Well, it's easy: Auri behaved like I expected her to, but it was completely unexpected how Pat described it. I am sure that there is more to this book than the first read shows. I am also sure that I missed out on some things by listening to the book instead of reading it (there are some plays on words which are hard to get right in an audiobook). I will have to read the eBook to get the other half of the experience.

Patrick Rothfuss managed to write a book completely different to the others, while staying true to them at the same time. He managed to write a book that completely defies all standards of what a story is supposed to be, while still writing something that I loved to listen to. And, most importantly of all, he managed to write in a style that completely fits one of the most mysterious, beautiful and broken characters I have ever read.

As Pat says: "This book may not be for you". But it most definitely was for me.

Not for everyone, but definitely for me

Sehr schöne Geschichte mit interessantem Autorenkommentar, auch wenn ein professioneller Sprecher besser lesen kann. Sehr unkonventionelle Story.

Ich mag die Story
