Deep below the University, there is a dark place. Few people know of it: a broken web of ancient passageways and abandoned rooms. A young woman lives there, tucked among the sprawling tunnels of the Underthing, snug in the heart of this forgotten place.

Her name is Auri, and she is full of mysteries.

The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a brief, bittersweet glimpse of Auri’s life, a small adventure all her own. At once joyous and haunting, this story offers a chance to see the world through Auri’s eyes. And it gives the reader a chance to learn things that only Auri knows....

In this book, Patrick Rothfuss brings us into the world of one of The Kingkiller Chronicle’s most enigmatic characters. Full of secrets and mysteries, The Slow Regard of Silent Things is the story of a broken girl trying to live in a broken world.

It's interesting to read a book where the author actively warns you that you might not like it. This is indeed a very odd, short novella. It focuses solely on Auri, preparing for the arrival of Kvothe and deals with her daily activities up to that point. Right from the get-go you realize how broken and shattered Auri is, even if you had no prior experience with her from Rothfuss's other books. It's amazing how she survives alone while devoting so much of her attention to how inanimate objects should be placed all over the underground world she lives in. Though, with names like Mantle, Tree, Foxen, and Fulcrum, and having seen the magic of The Name of the Wind, you suspect there may be something deeper there. Very little happens in this story- there is one character and almost no plot, but there is a soft, subtle magic in …

5 stars

A lovely look into Auri's life that sheds light on the world and magic of these books. What initially reads as an obsessive disorder feels more like mastery of an unnamed form of magic by the end of it. It raises more questions than it answers however and feels less it might occur in the middle of the third book, time wise. Ignore the haters, they are either fundamentally impatient or incapable of reading clear disclaimers that frankly shouldn't be necessary anyway. If you like the rest of the series, this is definitely worth your time.

Tenía bastante miedo de leer esta historia. Me habían dicho que no era para todo el mundo, que no ocurría nada, que había mucha gente a la que no le iba a gustar. Me alegro de haberla leído y de ser una de esas personas a las que ha enamorado.

Esta historia es perfecta para conocer más a un personaje tan maravilloso como es Auri. Acompañándola en la Subrealidad, como persona neurotípica se es consciente de que no le está ocurriendo nada fuera de lo cotidiano. Pero leyéndola consigue transmitirte su dolor, su preocupación, y sus problemas se vuelven muy reales. Un ejemplo de visibilización para comprender que hay personas a las que les afectan mucho cosas que para ti no son nada, y a las que puede hacer mucho daño que invisibilices su sufrimiento.

Una historia que se sale de la norma con una protagonista que se sale de …

It's poetic in a way that is pleasant to listen to. Auri is insane in such a delightfull manner that it makes me want to be insane too. I will listen to it again.

En
fin, y a manera de resumen, es una novela muy interesante no sólo por el personaje, si no por la forma narrativa y de acción que nos presenta. Recomendada a los fans absolutos de Auri y a la gente que están (estamos) esperando Las puertas de piedra.
