“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.

Beautifully Articulated
This book is not worth the price. But it is worth the read.
I highly advise you to read the Sample, which gives a forewarning for the kind of story it is.
Beyond that, I absolutely love the way the story is expressed. Every line is a personification or metaphor, every description an exercise in wordplay. I feel wiser in the way of Naming after reading this, and if not wiser, at least it was a beautiful read.
Loved Auri so much, now even more.
Wonderful. Thank you from another who is not quite proper true inside.
Over priced
I guess I wouldn’t be upset if this were a $2.99 book. It’s not even a book really. Just a short story.
