When the title says slow regard, believe it as one hundred fifty pages are spent following Auri’s activities over the course of a week without much of a storyline to draw it all together. Although Auri’s character has a certain charm, reading about her finding just the right location for objects in between washing her feet soon becomes old. Sadly, don’t look for anything about Auri’s history or expect this latest addition to the Kingkiller Chronicle series to advance the tale but Rothfuss’s lyrical writing style still comes through in a story involving only one character and no plotline. Yes, it is sweet watching Auri engage with the world as she sees it but that simply is not enough to create a solid tale, a shortcoming readily admitted by the author in his end note. This is the strangest little thing. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adored reading this. But why? It has almost none of the usual elements that I like in books: meaningful friendships/any kind of relationship, action, intrigue.... Yet it's kind of one of my favorite novellas ever? Auri's voice is unique beautiful and she is so lovable. I really can't explain why I love this so much. Just read it, and find out for yourself.
Do You like book La Música Del Silencio (2014)?
A quirky story. Weird - different & a quick read. I really don't know what to think of it?
