About this audiobook
The University, a renowned bastion of knowledge, attracts the brightest minds to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences like artificing and alchemy. Yet deep below its bustling halls lies a complex and cavernous maze of abandoned rooms and ancient passageways - and in the heart of it all lives Auri.
Formerly a student at the University, now Auri spends her days tending the world around her. She has learned that some mysteries are best left settled and safe. No longer fooled by the sharp rationality so treasured by the University, Auri sees beyond the surface of things, into subtle dangers and hidden names.
At once joyous and haunting, THE SLOW REGARD OF SILENT THINGS is a rich, atmospheric and lyrical tale, featuring one of the most beloved characters from Rothfuss' acclaimed fantasy series.

The book is nicely written but the price is a complete rip off for what you get. The author has taken advantage of fans that are waiting on the 3rd installment of his current (and now, having lost the trust of fans, probably only) book series and he has ripped them off in the process. I am among many that lost their time for this author after this, what is basically a long poem, hit the shops at over $20 a book. Don't bother with this book. You'll feel disappointed and cheated.

It seems like the author is having a laugh at me while feeding me meaningless word soup. The book can be summed up as "Auri does some things in places with weird names"

if you aren't a broken person, you probably won't like this book, it is just not for you, not for me, but still it is great to see some of Pat's brain through it
