Welcome to Litsy!

This story does not bring you back to Kvothe‘s world, but provides a glimpse into Auri‘s. It develops her character by following a week of her life during the time she knows Kvothe, although never mentions him by name. In Rothfuss‘s afterward to the book, it sounds as if Auri was revealing herself to him as much as his readers. Shorter than I expected when I picked it up, a quick read.

Still waiting on book 3…..📚

Great companion piece for the Kingkiller Chronicle. As the author mentions, it's an unusual story, but it's a lovely story about a great character.

Finally starting this one!

Such a strange story! It's sooo perfect for Auri. I enjoyed this a lot! It's kind of a character study/short story. If you have read other books in The Kingkiller chronicle's series then this probably works for you as well. First book finished in #20in4 😊

I just learned there is a short story written about Bast and that I have that particular anthology waiting on my bookshelf! 😍

I had forgotten how much I love Rothfuss's writing. ❤

Started reading this. Already feeling Rothfuss's magic. It's like he is seeing the language differently than everyone else. 🌸🌻

Dear Me,

The next time you say you are broke. Remember these moments.

Another one down for #bookspinbingo! This one is such a beautiful, atmospheric novella, I fell right in love with it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The hubs surprised me with these the other day. I came downstairs to find a gift bag on the table next to a bouquet of peonies, and my awesome husband saying that he got me a “just because” present. 💖💖💖

If you've read the Kingkiller Chronicle, (The Name of the Wind & The Wise Man's Fear) this is a must read; a glimpse into the mind & world of Auri. Not only will you be fascinated (maybe haunted) by this sweet little spirit, but you will better understand this mysterious girl. If you have not read the Kingkiller Chronicle, this book will make no sense to you. It is, however the perfect illustration of Rothfuss's incredible storytelling imagination

Patrick Rothfuss put it better than I can: “If you‘re one of the people who found this story disconcerting, off-putting, or confusing, I apologize. The truth is, it probably just wasn‘t for you. The good news is that there are many other stories out there that are written just for you. Stories you will enjoy much more. This story is for all the slightly broken people out there. I am one of you. You are not alone. You are all beautiful to me.”

🎧 the only reason I‘m not panning this is because I loved the two previous books. It was OK character development of one character. And even that was like 7 plodding days in her life. Author shouldn‘t have read it. He has a pleasant voice but he shoulda stuck with Nick!! Maybe I‘ll feel differently about it if I relisten to all 3 books ... right after the 60 hours of library books I need to finish 😁 (I feel like a total bookgrouch today) ⭐️⭐️1/2

While this book was not on the level of The Name of the Wind I still enjoyed it.

Thanks to snuggles and cold weather I finished this novella yesterday - an odd story about an odd character who I love in Rothfuss‘s world. Quite different from his other books but I rather enjoyed it. #dogsoflitsy

Barely started this one last night when my husband called last night in a little duress (missing a necessary work item) sending me on a late night errand so I didn‘t make it too far but I‘m rather enjoying the different tempo to this book and especially the illustrations.

Tenuously connected to the Kingkiller Chronicle, there‘s a hint of a backstory for Auri as well as hint of things to come in the, long-awaited, book to follow “A Wise Man‘s Fear”.

I‘ve spent a week at least thinking about my choices for #top10ofthedecade. Not easy! But here are my choices for the #audiobookedition

She‘d strayed from the true way of things. First you set yourself to rights. And then your house. And then your corner of the sky. And after that . . . #KingKillerChronicles #PatrickRothfuss

A quick audiobook for my commute. I‘m so not ready to not be in this world, so I‘m trying to find every read-a-like I can. So if you have any recs for a big fan of Rothfuss‘ work, please post it in a comment! 🤞🙏

Current bedside stack. Halfway through The Slow Regard. If you like The Name if the Wind, you‘ll enjoy this story about Auri.

For some reason, last night, I couldn't stop thinking about this little novella. I woke up today and it was still on my mind.

Guess I'm re-reading it today. 🤷‍♂️

For me, it's such a beautifuly little written story and I feel so cozy when I'm deep in its pages. I absolutely adore it.

I was hoping for answers as to why Auri lives as she does, the answers are not in this book.

What you do get in this book is an intimate look into Auri's current day to day life. It is a beautiful character study. If you need a novella to get you out of your own head for a bit, this should do it. That being said, the book is not for everyone. You need to be able to give yourself over to Auri's simple tasks, not look for plots that aren't there.

Strange and wonderful, with absolutely GORGEOUS illustrations and an inside look into the world of Auri. This novella might not be for everyone (as Rothfuss warns at the start of the book) but it was definitely for me!
#Booked2019 pick for a book #gifted to me, by my lovely husband.

This book was very different from what I am used to from Rothfuss. For one thing no plot. Yet, I still liked it. It helped me understand Auri. As Ruyhfuss says at the end, she is broken and a lot of people can identify with that. The prose was very good but nothing really happened and you need to have read at least the first book in the series. 4 stars for book and narration.

Made my step goal again yesterday. I am hoping this is the week I walk 8K every single day.🤞 Finally started another audiobook, The Slow Regard of Silent Things.

This book appreciates all the fine & simple things that contribute to a person's soul & heart.

I forgot how much I enjoy Patrick Rothfuss‘ writing. This was delightful and made me want to reread his books

I finished this last night. I absolutly loved the artwork. It was interesting to learn more about Auri. I liked how all these little things around her made her so happy and excited.
But I found it a bit repetitive after some time. In the endnote of this book Patrick Rothfuss wrote how the book is not for those people who expect a normal story with a normal story line. Well, I guess I'm 'those people' 😅

Interesting read, well written but an odd book with only one character and everyday objects being the star of the show.

Sorry for the very late post @jhod ! I opened your package sunday night when I returned home. I love everything from it! I'm very curious for all three of the books. I can't even decide which to read first! 😂 I love Maltesers and the card with the cat and the little hedgehog are both so so cute 😍 Thank you! ❤

I have mixed feelings about this book. I like Auri and it was interesting to learn more about her world/the Underthing, but it was a bit repetitive and the story dragged in some places. Shout out to the lovely art of Nate Taylor.

The tiny book in the #KingkillerChronicles with a tiny Hogwarts book and a tiny book necklace 😊

I've shared this one before. It's one of my favorites.
#QuotsyJan19 #dragon

Listened to the audible book 1-2019. One of my favorite authors.

First off, what a stunning book title. This is the last book I read in 2018. It‘s my brother‘s copy so I‘m sure he‘ll be happy to get it back. Don‘t read this unless you‘ve at least read The Name of the Wind or it won‘t make any sense. Rothfuss even has a statement in this book that it is not for everyone. It follows Auri, a character in his other books and only her. It just simply follows what she does in her own way and how she thinks Loved it!

#quotsydec18 #time

After reading all day yesterday, I‘m off to a late start today. But we‘re ready now! #24b42019 #catsoflitsy #aurora

November wrap-up! 📚🦃🎉
Finished all these great books plus The Similars (out 1.1.19) and Runebreaker (out now) from #netgalley.

It‘s a great book and a very short story. Very enjoyable 😋📖

Next up the 2.5 edition to the kingkiller chronicle 😋📖

Calling all Kvothe-ites and Auri-ites, only #99ponkindle

This is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read.

#julyinbooks18 #photochallenge #finishedinonesitting

Slightly broken and alone. This is how Rothfuss describes himself, and this story, and it's a good descriptor. Parts of this story reach in and touch fragments of your soul that you didn't know anyone else saw. Other parts of this story feel a bit odd and drawn out. Overall, I think I liked it. If you don't feel slightly broken and alone, this story likely isn't for you.

This is why I love this author😂👍🏻

When you are PATIENTLY *cough cough* waiting for the last book of the Kingkiller series to come out you gotta fill the time with other things. Thankfully this little gem is one of those things! Excited to be back in this story😍☺️ #kingkillerseries #patientlywaiting #auri

#riotgrams Day 8! #bestbookfriendship Auri and Kvothe

You know that character that you just love and cherish so much and want to protect from all of the bad things in the world? For me, that character is Auri! It‘s clear that something happened to her to make her the way she is and #IWantToHoldYourHand sweet Auri 😭💖
#HeyJune

There was someyhing sweet and vulnerable about this strange little entry in the Kingkiller world, even if it was a little disappointing not to actually learn much more about Auri's story.
