THE SLOW REGARD OF SILENT THINGS Kingkiller Chronicle, Book 2.5

In low tones, author and narrator Patrick Rothfuss takes listeners through the unique ins and outs of his fantasy world. Auri is an ethereal being who has a highly empathetic relationship with animate and inanimate objects. A tiny green light named Foxen is her constant companion. Rothfuss projects a fatherly love for Auri as his pace quickens during her moments of joy and slows during her reflective periods. His voice lowers to a reverential hush when she finds a home for a lost object in the maze of underground passages she inhabits. This quietly musing story requires patience but proves worthy of listening as Rothfuss embellishes each exquisite moment. E.E. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2015]
