About this ebook

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.

It has been seven years since the release of the first book in this series. The fans are patiently waiting for the third instalment 'Doors of stone' and what does Rothfuss do as an author? He shelves the third book till who knows when and then announces three other side projects; all of which focus on characters peripheral to the main plot. If you want to read a good author who don't treat their fans like a cash cow then give your money to Mark Lawrence or Peter V Brett.

I agree that maybe he should concentrate on the 3rd book rather than playing around with one of the least important characters of the series. A back story to Devi or Elodin would have been a better choice. I think we've waited well long enough though.

This review is based on price. This cost be more than both previous stories but for a short story. Seriously I assume it was your publishers decision because I can't belive you'd rip off your fans like that. Its amazingly written but a little boring. Probably also needs to be titled so it dosnt come across as chapter 3. Honestly this book could have slipped into book 3 to break up the chapters and felt better or done like Brandon Sanderson and charged a couple of quid rather than full price. Your Fan SF
