#slow regard of silent things

Relistening to all the KKC audio books with my boyfriend and wanted to draw Auri and Foxen running around On Top Of Things 🥰 (even though I know she doesn’t very much care for the moon always) I thought ‘what if they all had a dance party instead?’ 🤣🤣🤣

there’s this book series, the kingkiller chronicle by patrick rothfuss. the first two books are complete masterpieces, true achievements in literature, in my opinion, ofc. in 2014, rothfuss released a side story called the slow regard of silent things. i don’t believe this story has reached nearly as many people as it should have. it doesn’t contain many of the things stories should contain. all it really is is one character doing small things in preparation for another character to show up. we don’t even get to see the character she’s waiting for. but that’s not the point, is it? auri, the main character, as rothfuss writes, “is not quite proper true inside.” this story was written for people like her, people who don’t make much sense, people who don’t fit in, people who maybe have something a bit wrong with them. this story is so beautiful and i can do nothing but recommend it and hope that one day, rothfuss’s stories will hit the true mainstream, like they deserve.

it’s worth mentioning, you dont need to read the other books to understand this one. it’s amazing either way, though i do recommend the kingkiller chronicle anyway.

I have never been as upset about a book announcement as I am with the new Patrick Rothfuss book The Narrow Road Between Desires. He is literally YEARS behind schedule with The Doors of Stone, isn’t even trying to come up with excuses on why he keeps missing his deadlines, and surprise! Here’s another book we didn’t ask for!

Listen, I’m sure it’ll be a great book. As was The Slow Regard of Silent Things. I am just so so so frustrated. Where the hell is The Doors of Stone, Patrick?! This feels like a bad joke.

Tenebrific, seriously?! Patrick Rothfuss has the English language in a chokehold. It's been awhile since I came across a completely new English word to learn...

Oh reading update I should have given you guys a couple of days ago!!!

Wow this ended up being longer than I expected. Preview of what I talk about below the cut so I don’t take over everyone’s homepage if you’re only here for cosmemes: Priory of the Orange Tree (Samantha Shannon), The Slow Regard of Silent Things (Patrick Rothfuss), Kings of the Wyld (Nicholas Eames), The Broken Eye (Brent Weeks)

I finished priory of the orange tree. I loved it, but I felt like the last 300 pages or so dragged until I got to the ending. It could just be me though, the changes at work really cut into my reading time so I spent more days reading that book than I’d planned. Definitely recommend, it’s got dragons and politics and court intrigue and queer rep and spies and secret sects and all sorts of things.

Then I read the slow regard of silent things in one night. It was cute and weird and a lot of fun. I wouldn’t consider it essential reading for kingkiller chronicles, but it IS Auri’s pov and she’s definitely my favorite character so I could t skip it. Another highly recommended, and it’s spoiler free so if you just want to read a week in the life of a quirky girl with maybe OCD and definitely anxiety living in the tunnels under a city, I’d recommend it. The tunnels are cool, not icky, there’s an abandoned ballroom down there!

Now I’m reading Kings of the Wyld. I’ve seen it described as the A-team reunited and someone’s wild dnd campaign. I’m only on page 70 but I’m already comfortable saying those people are wrong. This is a 70s rock band trying to hold a reunion tour in 2010 when emo reigns. I’m really enjoying the campy humor especially after priory of the orange tree, which was so so so serious.

I’m also about halfway through book 3 of lightbringer (the broken eye) too on my audiobook. I’m liking that series a lot. Brent Weeks isn’t great with characterizing women and I’ll never argue with that but I think people overstate how bad he is. The women of Night Angel seriously needed some personality but the women in lightbringer actually have agency and a lot of depth. They’re not perfect and Karris is more motivated by men than she probably should be, but she still makes decisions for herself. And Teia might be my favorite female character he’s written. So it’s not all bad, just depends on how sensitive your meter is for unintentional sexism. For me, I tend to be more forgiving of older books than newer books, especially when you can see the author is making an effort to improve.

I think that’s all I’ve got. Based on how fast I’m going through kings of the wyld in the rare opportunity I do get to crack it open, I’ll go through it pretty fast, so I’m already starting to think about what I’ll be reading next. I’ve got a few things standing out on my bookshelf to me right now but we’ll see how I feel when it’s time for the next one. Mood reader problems I guess 😂

Ok tumblr pals let’s try this again

I just finished reading 3 Patrick Rothfuss books all back to back and am currently waiting for doors of stone to come out.

But in the meantime I desperately need another good book to read with great characters and a rich story. Any recommendations??

Someone liked one of my old theories. For NOTW. And initially I was going to scour my drafts for one of the Auri theories I was working on. But it was daunting... So you lot get a summary. We know kvothe has changed his name. And we can suspect that he had some part in instigating a war after he killed a King. We know from the flow of events that Ambrose was moving up the line of succession.

The war could be in part to no clear legitimate heir. Let's say the maer is also dead but did his royal duty in producing an heir. If his wife is still alive. That would make her a regent of some kind. But we also have reason to suspect that Auri might be the Princess Aurian. Kvothe possibly going to Auri for help or confiding in her and how she'd said she would protect him. Might put enough of herself back together to become a contender for said throne.

Now given the effect that Kvothe had on Auri. By giving her a new name. He gave her back a piece of her self. Because he knew something of what she went through. In a way he helped open one of the doors of her sleeping mind. Who better to trust to give him back his name then someone he gave a name to? And in the way that auri is influenced by the name she was given. In slow regars of silent things. Auri has a figure or toy of someone from the order aymr. Given that she's seen kvothe with blood down his hands and even in a way knighted kvothe by calling him her ciridi or however it was spelled. If she fixes kvothes name and gives him back to himself. Along with the name that kvothe had built for himself in the same way that Felurian has.

I think Auri will go from named to maker. And kvothe might take on the mantle of one of the Knights of the order. Like one of those self fulfilling prophecy type of situations. In a way it could be forshadowed in the way that Bast spoke to chronicler about the nature of mask. Before kvothe was pretending to be more than he was and though he started to see the merit in his actions as being things worthy of a story. He didn't truly believe it until the encounter with Felurian. A d it makes me think of the nature of his true name. Flame , thunder, broken tree. Kvothe has many instances of fire in his life that could spur the first. The same goes for the second. And in part I thought the broken tree was about his family tree. But Bast mentions that the tree in the Fae can see all of time. And that anyone who meets it is killed on the spot. I have to wonder if that fae creature butterfly effected things to make the meeting with kvothe happen. And what would it gain from setting kvothe after lanrae? Well we know lanrae sought it out for a fruit that could bring back the dead. Kvothe might have done the same.

The cathae showed the causality of its nature by manipulating the branches and vines to kill the butterflies. And some thing had to have trapped the cathae in the tree. The broken tree could be either kvothe freeing the cathae or killing it. Being the fae bargin of a fruit for freedom. Or not providing one in hope of kbothe lashing out in the way he did when Ambrose broke his lute. I could only imagine what he'd do with a shattered mind. Since we know it got into his head before when it spoke of Denna's patron and his mother along with his troupe. And given the plum bobs lasting effects of giving him a short temper and a lack of inhabition when riled up. I won't ve counting out that aspect of it, for bow at any rate. That's a tangled mess of a half crafted theory that's half remembered.

I haven't re-read the books in a while. Recovering from psychic damage that came at the hands of all the bad book adaptations recently.

The Slow Regard of Silent Things

Patrick Rothfuss

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 stars)

Going into this, I didn't realize it was going to be so character-driven. I would honestly say it's more of a character study than a plot-driven story, which isn't a bad thing! I found the development of Auri and the exploration of her daily life, her perspective, and her little world to be fascinating. 

#I don't have much more to say xD #it's really really short #like 150 pages ish short #very cute tho #would read again #would not exactly seek to own but wouldn't dislike it #book review #patrick rothfuss #the slow regard of silent things #name of the wind #booklr

And if you were careful, if you were a proper part of things, then you could help. You mended what was cracked. You tended to the things you found askew.
