3 stars
A very peculiar story about one of the most enigmatic and special characters in the Kingkiller Chronicles. This book is Auri itself. Broken, silent. Slow. Too damn slow.

Patrick Rothfuss writes terrific big fantasy books, but his short pieces have made me love his work. This story is a portrait of a young woman who isn't quite right, but works very hard to do what she knows has to be done.
