The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss
1.0
Reading/Listening to the author’s note at the end is very insightful, actually. He basically describes how he felt like it was a train wreck but after drunkenly meeting a woman in a bar and letting her read the story, she told him to “fuck them” [the readers].
No, it is a train wreck. It was certainly poetic in the writing. The descriptions were just not as good as the previous two books. I read this with the intent to finish it quickly. I read the other two hoping it would never end.
Did it help me understand who Auri is more? Maybe? I would say she’s a young autistic person with OCD that just wants to rearrange her living space often based on her perceptions of the feelings of the inanimate objects. That’s this book in a nutshell. I will mark this as “spoilers” but I feel as though there can be no spoilers when there is no plot.
