A review by aconitecafe
The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss

5.0

I loved this book. it is the first of his I've read, and I was apprehensive about starting with a side book in a series but it was lovely. Auri is raw. her life isn't written here to impress you or draw you in. I do get that this story isn't for everyone, but he makes that clear in the beginning and the end. if you consider yourself broken, read this book. but don't over analyze it, or have expectations of what you think it should deliver to you. I know when reading series people tend to build their own opinions on how people are when it isn't written out, I definitely do it. but it's explained well by Pat that it is a story he wrote for him, and it is about her. you can't really analyze that, or demand her life be something it isn't. I think broken people that can read a story for what it is without expectations can relate to the character and love her story.
