Fantasy, Young Adult Fiction
Book Synopsis
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.
